OLED HDTVs might finally be practical: LG plans to introduce the “world’s largest” OLED HDTV that the company says can easily outpace any LCD panel while remaining affordable. The screen comes in at 55 inches and is only 5 mm thin. Unlike LCDs, OLEDs don't require a backlight (since they produce their own light), which is what allows this new TV to be so thin.

Hoping to boost sales of its 3D televisions among gamers, LG showed off technology that lets traditional split screen multiplayer games be played full screen.

Nvidia's much-hyped Tegra 2 CPU has finally found a home in a smartphone, courtesy of LG's new Optimus 2X, which will be launched in Korea next month. As such, the Optimus 2X takes the honor of being the first dual-core phone to get to market.

LG announced that it sold a million Optimus One phones in 40 days. The success story should be a lesson for all smartphone and mobile device makers - focus on the core needs of the average user and deliver quality at the lowest possible cost.

These HDTVs scored well in our fast-motion tests, which can make them good choices for watching the Super Bowl or the Winter Olympics.

AT&T will sell new phone called the LG eXpo, which has a removable PowerPoint projector.

Cell phone sales continue to be hurt by the faltering economy, so vendors are increasingly looking to software and services to lure buyers of new devices.

Mobile device shipments globally reached 258 million handsets for the first quarter, well above forecast amounts, but still an 11% decline over the same quarter last year, said ABI Research Inc.

The U.S. ITC is investigating a complaint filed by Kodak charging LG and Samsung with patent infringement.

A group of cell phone makers is out to raise awareness that charging devices consume energy when left idle but plugged into an outlet.
