LeEco's Next Gen Smart TVs to be Launched Soon

Chinese internet and technology conglomerate LeEco which launched Super3 X Series TVs last year in India may soon bring its next generation TVs to the country.

The next series of TVs by LeEco will give the best TV viewing experience as a whole, the company said in a statement on Thursday.

LeEco's Super3 X Series -- the 55-inch Super3 X55 and the 65-inch Super3 X65 -- offer 4K Ultra HD (3840x2160) resolutions.

The 65-inch flagship model Super3 Max65 supports FPR 3D and comes with bundled glasses.

The three televisions in the Super3 series feature all-metal bodies.

While the Super3 X55 sports 2GB of RAM and 8GB of storage, the other two televisions come with 3GB of RAM and 16GB of storage.

With the new Next Gen TV with its video and color-processing engine, a user can perform multiple functions with ease.

Also, high-speed memory enhances application response speed for desktop switching, 4K ultra-clear video load and seamless running of large games.

Smart TV offering new windows onto Internet

The world's obsession with tapping into the Internet is being played out on the biggest screen in the house, with software startups, TV makers, and technology titans such as Google and Microsoft adding momentum to the trend.

Even the beloved firm behind iPads and iPhones is expected to weigh in soon with a revamped version of an Apple TV system that it has long called a hobby.

The Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas is brimming with companies large and small betting that "smart TVs" will quickly take over living rooms.

"The television is rapidly becoming the gateway of content from the Internet," said Sony executive deputy president Kazuo Hirai.

Samsung, Sony, and LG are among major industry players that unveiled new smart TVs at the show.

South Korea-based LG announced it is making its own chips to beef-up TVs with online capabilities along with gesture and voice controls.

"Since the start of the smart TV revolution we've found that industry chip sets have held us back from offering high performance," said LG Electronics chief technical officer Scott Ahn.

"Starting this year we will apply our own L line chips to a premier TV line."

LG has joined a small cadre of manufacturers building televisions synched to the Internet with Google TV software.

Google TV was launched in 2010 but has yet to gain momentum in the market.

"We believed we have some great technologies that would make a Google LG a popular choice," Ahn said.

"Our technology coupled with the Google TV platform will form the basis of a strong long-term relationship with Google."

Internet pioneer Yahoo! kicked off the trend at CES three years ago, with "widgets" embedded in Connected TV models to link them to online services the way "apps" link mobile gadgets to games, video or other Internet content.

More than eight million TVs with Yahoo! widgets have been bought and sales are accelerating as the technology improves and more sets come with wireless Internet connections.

Frequency and Shodogg were among startups at CES out to make names for themselves by helping people navigate, sort or share the dizzying amounts of video available once TVs link to the Internet.

Los Angeles-based Frequency released iPad and Internet browser versions of a service that lets people program channels based on their interests.

Frequency applications are free, and the software will be embedded in Samsung televisions this year, according to Harrison.

New York-based Shodogg launched a service that lets people "fetch, toss, and share" online video wirelessly across all kinds of devices, from smart televisions to tablets or smartphones.

The Shodogg application is free, with the company making its money by sharing in revenue from advertising in video routed through the service.
