Based on their ultra slim 2010 'Infinia' range, LG's LX9900 LCD TV will offer Full HD 3D capability and will sit alongside their BX580 3D Ready Blu-ray player for a complete extra dimensional experience.

47in and 55in screens employ the 'Active Shutter' 3D system which is compatible with Sky's forthcoming 3D channel.

The Active Shutter system creates separate high quality (1080p) images for the left and right eyes which are played back alternately at high speed. The hard work is done by 'Active Shutter' glasses, which open and close at rapid speeds which ensures that your right eye sees a frame while your left eye doesn't, and vice versa

Unfortunately you will have to fork out extra for the active shutter glasses, but elsewhere there are plenty of other goodies. The LX9900 comes with a built in Freeview HD tuner, LED backlighting and TruMotion 400Hz frame rate.

Like most high end TV's these days you get web connectivity which in LG's case comes in the shape of Netcast technology. Alongside most manufacturers, this means access to their own web portal which amongst other things gives you the likes of YouTube, Picasa and Accu Weather.

Although no prices have been announced, LG have indicated that the 3D enabled LX9900 and BX580 will be available in the UK this May.
