LG Electronics announced its first-ever Direct View LED (DVLED) display series

LG Electronics announced its first-ever Direct View LED (DVLED) display series designed specifically for high-end residential installations, the LG DVLED Extreme Home Cinema. Unlike any other residential display technology, LG DVLED Extreme Home Cinema is using 2 million to 33 million individual diodes (depending on resolution).  LG DVLED Extreme Home Cinema displays are available exclusively through a new custom-installation dealer program, and cannot be purchased at stores. 

Direct-View LED technology is visibly and fundamentally different from “LED TVs,” which are actually LCD TVs with LED backlighting to boost brightness. Direct View LED technology images are created directly by the LED diodes and provide high contrast ratio and brightness.  The 16:9 displays in sizes ranging from 81 inches to 325 inches diagonal, as well as UltraStretch video wall-style installations that deliver a 32:9 display ideal for windowing multiple video sources such as live sports.
