Google TV LG is also showing off sets with Google TV software that will launch in the U.S. in the first half of 2012 and later for the rest of the world. Among LG's Google TV offerings will be a 55-inch model, and each Google TV set from LG will include a Magic Remote with a built-in keyboard. Google TV will run on LG's TVs alongside its Smart TV platform unveiled last year. Since last year's CES, LG said it had added more than 1,200 apps to its Smart TV offerings. Vizio Inc., the bargain-priced TV maker, is also releasing a lineup of Google TV products including TVs running the Google TV software, Google TV Blu-ray player and a set-top box called the Stream Player that will enable Google TV to run on any HDTV. Other notable TV announcements Sony is rolling out TVs featuring screens made of Corning Inc.'s Gorilla Glass, which is easy to clean and scratch resistant, as well as thin and light. The HX series with the Gorilla Glass will be available in 46-inch and 55-inch sizes, each with a 1080p resolution. Sony's EX line won't have Gorilla Glass or 3-D, but these TVs will have built-in Wi-Fi and Sony apps and will be available in 40-inch, 46-inch and 55-inch sizes, each with a 1080p resolution. Samsung also announced an update to its high-end Smart TV line - which runs apps such as Netflix on its TVs - that it says will enable users to control their sets with voice and motion control and facial-recognition technology. For example, users can turn the TV on or off, activate selected apps or search for content in the Web browser simply by speaking in any of the 20 to 30 languages supported by the technology. A built-in camera in the top-of-the-line Smart TV sets "recognizes movement in the foreground, and two unidirectional array microphones recognize voice at an incredibly accurate rate. Noise cancellation technology helps separate any background noise from the users' commands.
