LG introduces a premium new 3D notebook

With 3D Dual Webcam and an Array of Powerful 3D Features, LG A530 Adds Another Dimension to 3D Experience

LG Electronics has unveiled the LG A530, a premium new 3D notebook offering all the thrills of seeing, shooting and sharing 3D content. A 3D dual webcam above the 15.6-inch Full HD 3D LCD screen lets users shoot their own 3D videos and photos.

“With 3D becoming ever more popular, the logical next step is to let users make their own 3D content and watch it on a top-quality 3D screen. And that’s just what our new A530 does,” said J.J. Lee, Executive Vice President and Head of LG Electronics PC Business Unit. “LG is already a leader in the ever-growing world of 3D technology. With the LG A530’s wide range of line-ups including 3D HD in addition to 3D Full HD, LG is already leading the 3D notebook market.”

Full 3D Creation with Dual Webcam
Whereas most 3D notebooks offer only 3D viewing, the LG A530 provides a full 3D experience, with the ability to see, shoot and share via the 3D dual webcam. With the 3D dual webcam making it simple to create 3D content, the LG A530 delivers an integrated 3D experience allowing simple playback of 3D content from the notebook to LG’s other 3D devices, such as smartphones, TVs and monitors.

The LG A530 also lets users easily share 3D content with their friends and family by uploading it to YouTube. And the built-in 3D Space Software – LG’s new integrated user interface that makes it easy to access 3D video, photos, games and movies – presenting users with an even wider range of 3D options.

Thanks to LG’s proprietary Film Patterned Retarder (FPR) technology, which produces 3D images that are entirely free of flicker, LG claims users can watch 3D content on the LG A530 for extended periods without worrying about eye strain or dizziness.

The LG A530 includes a free pair each of the lightweight 3D glasses and clip-ons, so owners can watch 3D content in complete comfort straight away. In addition, the LG A530 features an SRS Wide 3D Sound system for truly immersive audio.

To guarantee exceptional overall performance in addition to its 3D functions, the LG A530 packs a second-generation Intel Core i7 processor with up to 8GB memory. The new processor delivers 60 percent faster speeds and double the power for playing HD media than the previous Intel Core i7 processor. In addition, the NVIDIA GeForce GT 555M graphics card boasts 20 percent better performance than NVIDIA GeForce GT 540M, for the ultimate experience in 3D games and movies.

A built-in solid-state drive (SSD) complements the LG A530’s high-capacity HDD drive, so boot-up times are reported to be between 20 and 30 percent faster than on competing notebooks. The speed and convenience is further bolstered by fingerprint access for quick log-in and USB 3.0 transfers data 10 times faster than USB 2.0.

LG will be rolling out the premium LG A530 in Europe, the Middle East and Africa this month followed by other markets soon after.
