New LG HTIB offers 3D surround sound

At the heart of the whole system is a proprietary 3D Sound Zooming technology that synchronizes the onscreen 3D actions to introduce depth in the original movie soundtracks. The spatial effects are further strengthened by four top-firing drivers on top of standard 5.1-channel speakers to deliver a 9.1-channel output.
LG is also suggesting that these features will expand the listening sweet spot, though we haven't been fans of such virtual surround systems. Nevertheless, built-in smart TV is the other key feature for this HTIB that's slated for launch in March. More information should be available closer to CES.
