This feature not only adds a bit more excitement to LG’s high performance TV, it also helps improve sound quality. LG incorporated a 3.1-channel virtual surround sound system into the LG80, creating an immersive experience without the need for external speakers.
“We developed the LG80 based on insights that we found from customer surveying. The results indicated that customers want a TV that delivers more than just great picture quality. They also want a TV with superb sound quality,” said Simon Kang, head of LG Digital Display Company. “We expect this TV to really resonate with young people who like to entertain friends at home while watching movies and sports or playing video games. It also has the features requested by people upgrading from older CRT or projection sets to flat panel TVs.” High Sound Quality At the heart of the LG80’s sound system lies a 3.1-channel virtual surround sound system, fully incorporated into the TV itself. This represents a major step forward in built-in TV sound. Most TVs can only play two audio channels without adding an external receiver and additional speakers. Stereo has been the standard for a long time, but LG took this a step further, giving it 50 watts of output, compared to 20 watts for most TVs.
A total of four speakers make up the system. Extending from either side of the TV are the right and left channel speakers, which help create a sense of space. In the middle is a c
enter channel speaker dedicated to sound in the human vocal range, which makes it easier understand conversations and dialogue. A woofer, located on the back of the TV, enhances bass, making music sound fuller and allowing viewers to feel the action in hard-hitting sports and movies.
