Features of the LG Smart TV platform
We are almost certain that many people have already managed to get acquainted, if not with our Smart TV platform, then with a competitive one.
Briefly about the main thing - Smart TV - a platform (software) that turns your TV into a media center.
For those who over the last year did not have time to somehow get acquainted with the technology, select the main functionality:
• Internet surfing - a web browser on the TV screen;
• Instant access to various network services, such as Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and Picasa;
• VoD services (video on demand) - watching TV shows, movies, TV shows and other video content directly from the Internet using content services providers (ivi.ru applications; zoomby.ru; tvigle.ru, etc.);
• educational and entertaining games;
• news, weather, TV program;
• Internet TV;
• training programs (for example, yoga, fitness classes);
Access content on other home network devices (computers, smartphones, media players and network drives) using DLNA technology.
* Soon - support for Skype video calls (Skype itself is already there, the camera is on the way).
Naturally, the rest of the functionality of the TV is preserved - from playing analog and digital signals to 2D to 3D converter (in models with support for 3D mode) and playing files from external sources via HDMI and USB slots.
LG Smart TV is on both plasma and LED TVs of various diagonals (from 32 to 60 inches).
More and more models are being released on the LG Smart TV platform. We have high hopes for the development of technologies, investing big money in further development and support, both in terms of software, and in terms of content distribution.
Activation of the system (Internet services) requires an Internet connection, which is carried out through the Wi-Fi module built into the TV, or through an additional device for the USB port, and, of course, the TV can be connected using a LAN cable.
For inexperienced users there is a detailed connection instruction, look here.
Our (LG) differences from competitors:
1. Most local (Russian) applications (we are unequivocal leaders in this segment).
2. Simple and convenient navigation (this is not a marketing message, but a reality - you can test it in any M-Video store) - we, unlike competitors with classic consoles, have their own development - Magic Motion - a unique console that resembles the functional part of the Nintendo Wii joystick and in fact is a convenient mouse to control the TV.
3. Functional Smart Share (DLNA) - synchronization of devices into a single media system - from Blu Ray players, Hi-Fi systems, smartphones and laptops.
Overview of current services
Now LG Smart TV is:
1. More than 300 applications in LG Apps - educational applications for children, family quizzes, 3D games, screensavers, weather forecasts, traffic jams, horoscopes and much more.
2. 11 local content providers (VoD services). For comparison, our closest competitor has five such services.
3. Functional browser (alas, but we are still working on the latest flash versions, now flash support is up to version 8).
4. Key international social and content networks - Facebook, Twitter, Youtube, Picasa. In the future, we plan to release a local social network (we think you can guess which network we are talking about).
5. Skype client.
Examples of services
Video on Demand.
Consider the example of ivi.ru
* small help: ivi.ru is the largest video portal of the Runet with legal video content, more than 30 thousand units of legal (and what is important - fresh) video in high quality.
On TVs purchased in Russia, the application is by default and is available in two clicks.
We are looking for the right series / movie / program / music video, click and watch. Simply.
Similar services are presented from the following providers: Dozhd TV channel; Tvigle; Zoomby; Stream Interactive; Russia; Deli; CTC; Ria TV; Infox; Yota Play; Omlet; Fidel, plus in our roadmap-e a huge number of new providers.
In total, we can say that with LG Smart TV is always two clicks from you:
• archive of more than 100,000 films
• TV shows and music videos
• news programs and TV shows "in writing"
Services and entertainment applications:
• Simple time killer games - puzzles, shooting (remember the old game “Hunting?”), Puzzles and quizzes - great for kids and casual games “waiting for something”
• Horoscope, weather, news reports, information about traffic jams in the city, yoga lessons
• 3D applications (demonstration of the capabilities of the TV and interactive) and screensavers that will allow you to decorate the interior (if you bother with this, of course)
A lot of content for children.
Social networks and TV-adapted content networks:
• Facebook and Twitter, combined with the Social Center application - both social services. network in one screen without interrupting the broadcast. Watching TV, tweeting, watching, watching what friends do - multitasking, as it is
• Youtube - the world's largest video hosting in good resolution and user-friendly interface on your 50-inch screen (well, not all 50-inch, but nevertheless)
• Picasa - easy navigation through photo albums on the big screen TV, an extremely convenient menu for slideshows and easy navigation and cloud storage of photo archives
• Skype - video chats on the big screen (camera with a microphone and good resolution will soon reach Russia).
Internet browser with support for javascript and flash version 8 - we think that comments are superfluous here.
On this, in general, everything.
For those who are interested in a detailed review and test-drive functionality, we have a number of extremely useful links:
1. A clear demonstration of the UTP (competitive advantage) of our platform over competitive here .
2. Test drive (emulation) of the LG Smart TV TV here .
3. Application store (descriptions and other information) here .
Questions, discussions and suggestions on the topic are always welcome (waiting for you in the comments).
We will also be extremely grateful if the owners of our Smart TV share their impressions of operation.
Thank you for your time.
Hope were helpful.
