LG Electronics will introduce its Google TV at the 2012 International CES next week in Las Vegas. LG Google TV’s most attractive feature is its ease of use, thanks to the combination of its Android-based user interface and the Magic Remote Qwerty designed by LG, says the company.

LG Google TV’s user interface and main screen have been designed for convenient browsing and content selection. Multi-tasking will be possible, as the search, social networking and TV functions can be run simultaneously. LG Google TVs will also be equipped with LG’s 3D technology, with 3D glasses are battery-free.

Alongside Google TV, LG will continue to advance its own Smart TV platform based on NetCast using open web technology such as Webkit browser and Linux. LG Smart TV with NetCast will be available globally in 85 plus countries at launch.
