Sports in sharper focus
LG Display has unveiled the world’s first Trumotion 480Hz LCD TV panel, which has an impressive 480 refresh rate per second, accelerating the advent of ultra high-speed images, without sacrificing picture quality. LG Display’s scanning backlight technology enables a backlight to be repeatedly turned on and off to reduce motion blur. When combined with the company’s 240 Hz technology, the display can refresh 480 images per second. In addition, LG Display’s Trumotion 480Hz TV boasts a lower motion picture response time (MPRT) of 4ms, eliminating motion blurring for fast moving images and enabling a realistic, crystal clear picture. The display also makes dark images even darker and bright images far brighter, resulting in vivid picture quality. Moreover, it can reduce energy consumption by adjusting the backlight brightness.

Check risky surfing habits
Threat Detector is a free online assessment tool that will help parents review their children’s online surfing habits. The aim of the tool is to provide parents with a way to quickly scan their family’s or children’s PCs for visits and bookmarks to unsuitable or unsafe websites. Certain sites may be considered inappropriate because of their content while others can pose a threat because of viruses, spyware and phishing. Threat Detector gives parents a very quick and easy way to assess the state of their family’s computers. While most parents believe their kids are behaving appropriately online and are safe, CyberPatrol found that 71 percent of teens admit they do not tell their parents what they do online. Threat Detector can help parents find out where their kids have been online. Threat Detector is available for download from www.cyberpatrol.com.
