Over 2 billion showers have been taken since its launch. LG CINEMA 3D Smart TV’s larger screen size and intuitive Magic Remote add another layer of player immersion to Disney’s run-away success.
Also arriving is The Sims FreePlay from leading game developer and publisher, Electronic Arts Inc. (EA). The enjoyable “real world” simulation builds on The Sims series, which sold more than 150 million copies worldwide.

Selected titles have also been optimised for 3D such as Mini Motor Racing, developed by The Binary Mill and powered by Unity Engine, which also supports LG’s Dual Play feature. Perfect for two-player games, Dual Play uses LG’s FPR 3D technology to allow each player to see their character in full screen, instead of the more common split-screen view.
