What You Need to Know about Video

LG Design Philosophy for Video

Design plays a critical role in harmonizing technology and human needs. In an effort to predict emerging needs, and to deliver innovative products to the public, LG has developed a comprehensive design philosophy which boils down to four basic elements: Concept, Style, Interface, and Finish.

Digital Video

LG is renowned for its expertise in digital video and information technology. We’ve received numerous international awards for our digital video products, including EISA Best Product awards and iF Design awards. We also created the world's first dual-format, high-definition disc player, and an array of similarly advanced multimedia convergence products.

LG integrates numerous multimedia features into its digital devices. We’re committed to the art of helping people enjoy their media any time, any place. For this reason, we pursue strong initiatives on multimedia convergence products. Already, LG makes a wide range of digital video products, including premium high-definition disc players, DVD players, DVD recorders with HDD, portable DVD players, and digital set-top boxes. Moving forward, we will stay true to our tradition of innovation by continuing to introduce stylish digital video designs and broadcast convergence technology with customers’ needs foremost in our mind.

What are DVD Regions?

DVD Regions are restrictions encoded onto a DVD that determine where in the world it can be played. The United States, United States territories, and Canada belong to region code 1.

What is the purpose of DVD Regions?

The purpose of DVD Regions is to allow motion picture studios to control several aspects of their DVD movie releases, including content, release date, and price.

How does this affect me?

DVD players are formatted to only play DVDs with your region code. In other words, you will not be able to watch a DVD with a region code that is not your own, which in most cases is not a problem.

What is NetCast™ Entertainment Access?

NetCast™ Entertainment Access

Want to watch your favorite action film? If you have a LG Blu-ray player with Netcast and an Internet connection, you can select content from YouTube, AccuWeather or Picasa and you’ll be enjoying it in moments.

Tapping into the internet’s virtually endless capabilities and entertainment no longer requires a computer. Blu-ray products with LG’s Netcast technology allows ussers to access some of the best media and entertainment outlets that the web has to offer.

We could just make excellent products that do just what they’re supposed to. This is about giving entertainment options that are beyond the expected.

*Disclaimer: NetCast internet connection & subscriptions required and sold separately. Content varies by region.

What is Instant Streaming?

Streaming is a process whereby digital media such as movies and television programs can be accessed on a user’s preferred media player as the data is being transferred. This revolutionary process allows viewers instant access to an ever-expanding library of networked content such as Netflix® and YouTube™. Streaming is the next step in truly personalized entertainment, giving users the ability to experience media on demand, in exceptional audio and video quality, from the comfort of their home.

What do I need?

To gain instant, unparalleled access to the ever-expanding variety of networked movies and TV episodes, you will need a media viewing device with a high-speed Internet connection and a contract with a movie service provider. Now stream movies, TV shows and video, to your TV directly using Netflix®, CinemaNow and YouTube™. Selections begin playing in as little as 30 seconds, with no personal computer needed. Movie enthusiasts can also take advantage of special Blu-ray content with BD Live and Bonus View selections, both of which offer a wide variety of streaming add-ons, such as movie scene extras, previews, synopses, and special features.
