LG Electronics has announced the launch of DivX-certified Time Machine TV Series both in Plasma and LCD models. Joining over 90 million DivX Certified devices in offering superior visual quality and support for the full range of DivX video content, LG's DivX-certified Time Machine TV Series is now available in Europe, China and throughout the Asia-Pacific region.

LG's DivX-certified Time Machine TV Series includes three LCD models – the 47LB5RE, 42LB5RT, 37LB4RT –and two plasma models, the 50PB4RT and 42PB4RT.

The TVs also include a simultaneous watch-and-record function.

"At LG, we're very committed to giving users what they want. The ability to transfer media seamlessly from the PC to the living room while preserving the kind of high-quality, cinematic experience that consumers demand is a key product differentiator among digital televisions."

Products that bear the DivX Certified logo have undergone a rigorous testing program to ensure a high-quality DivX media experience, including reliable video creation and playback, interoperability with other DivX Certified devices. Over 90 million DivX Certified devices have been shipped from major manufacturers around the world.

"The DivX Certified LG 42LB5RT digital television is an example of our efforts to expand the number of ways digital media is consumed in the living room, allowing consumers to access media when, where and how they want to," said Kevin Hell, President, DivX. "DivX is building a common media language designed for true interoperability across devices and platforms, and innovative products like the LG digital television are an important piece of that ecosystem."
