It seems like the LW6500-series panels will be the highest-end LG Cinema 3D TVs in Asia for 2011. This is because the Korean chaebol has decided not to launch the recently announced LW9800 models for this region. This leaves the Sony Bravia HX925-series TVs as the only LED-backlit 3D panels available in the local markets. The highly sought-after LED-backlighting with local dimming function enables these Bravia displays to output deep blacks that cannot be achieved by their LED-edgelit counterparts such as the LG LW6500.
Still, there will be more LED-backlit 3D TVs launching closer to the end of the year. We're not allowed to share the information at the moment, but rest assured you'll hear more from us in the coming weeks.
