AMMAN, JORDAN, October 01, 2008
/24-7PressRelease/ -- You can now, with LGE's latest Quran-enabled Time Machine TV.
Fresh from the success of its Qiblah mobile phone, digital leader LG Electronics has announced the Middle East-wide availability of the only TV in the world with built-in Quran, to honour the Holy Month of Ramadan.
LGE's latest Time Machine Plasma allows viewers to listen to the Quran, search and bookmark passages - all on the TV screen. The Holy Quran incorporated into the Plasma includes all of the 114 suras, allowing users to search for specific sura or verse and bookmark up to 10 favourites with record and stop button on the remote control.
The innovative TV also allows viewers to listen to the Quran, an excellent feature for allowing several people to study and understand the scriptures together. A multilingual interface allows viewers to navigate and read the text in Arabic and Farsi. At the top of the screen is a status bar that displays the name of the sura, verse numbers and the time of day.
From his end, the Managing Director of LG Electronics Levant Jordan, Mr. Kevin Cha said, "We work tirelessly to present innovative devices to our wide client base to satisfy our customers who settle for nothing less than premium standards. We constantly adapt to the special requirements of the regions that we operate in; hence, we launched this Quran-enabled Time Machine TV during the Holy Month of Ramadan to the Muslim world whom we highly revere".
In addition to its special features for Ramadan, this TV also includes LGE's Time Machine DVR technology, which allows viewers to pause and rewind live TV shows, and record shows for later viewing. The built in 160 GB hard drive is large enough to store 40 football matches or 30 full-length movies.
The latest innovation follows the unprecedented success of LGE's Qiblah mobile handset, which notched up impressive sales especially in the GCC. The Qiblah Phone (LG-F7100) indicates the direction users should face in order to pray toward Mecca, even if they are in the desert with few reference points. Users simply input their location and the phone, which works in 500 cities worldwide, automatically points the way.
LGE's Time Machine TV with the built-in Quran facility is available in the regional markets in PDP 37, 42 and 50-inch sizes.
