LG has also customized some of the software on the phone to take complete advantage of the glasses-less 3D capability. The 3D Converter takes 2D content off any available media (Videos, Pictures, and Games) and converts them to 3D for your viewing pleasure. A 3D video editor is also included - allowing you to edit your video footage in 3D in real-time, and a 3D Hot Key allows you to quickly switch between 2D and 3D views.

With the Optimus 3D MAX, one will be able to push video content via MHL HDMI or wirelessly, thanks to DLNA, at resolutions up to 1080p. 3D content shot using the phone can be pushed out to your TV using either method, provided its 3D ready.
