The LG pavilion located in Hall 3 will highlight a range of its award-winning products that are aimed at enhancing the digital lifestyle. The new offerings include laptops, LCD and PDP televisions, DLP projectors, car audio and navigation systems, MP3 players, and more. Several of these products have recently won prestigious awards around the world.

"GITEX is of paramount significance to the LG Brand," said C.H Lee, President of LG Electronics Gulf FZE. "It is our seventh year of participation and our main purpose is to showcase LG's technical strengths and position the company as the leader in the IT, home appliance and communications segments. The exhibition provides us a platform to promote new products and maintain and enhance brand visibility. Over 100,000 visitors will be in the UAE to attend GITEX, and this is therefore the perfect time to position the brand."

This year, LG's star product is the C1 Express Dual Tablet PC, which builds on the company's heritage of leading-edge notebook technology and award-winning piano black designs of T1 and S1. At only 27mm* thin and 1.31kg, the C1 Express Dual represents the very best in prestige, power and portability.

Finger touch input with auto-sensing technology as well as stylus input provides easy and quick input especially when using dial keys, a thumb-based on-screen.

Powered by Intel Centrino Duo Mobile Technology, the C1 defines the tablet PC in prestige, power and portability. The C1 boasts of an nVIDIA GeForce 7300 graphics card, Bluetooth, 512/1024MB DDR2(DDRII 533/400MHz, Dual Channel Support, Up to 2GB), 40/60/80GB(PATA), and weighs 1.31kg with a standard battery.

Also on the launch pad for the first time, is LG's award-winning wall mountable DLP projector, the AN110. It is the first model to use the WXGA (1280x768) DLP™ panel to improve image clarity. Digital Light Processing is the world's only all-digital display chip and a key ingredient in the best digital projectors available today.

The sleek, modern looking AN110 can be hung on the wall like a simple picture frame and projects one of the best quality HD images in the market.

The company is also updating its monitor segment with launch of its 'Emotional' series.
