LG Tv

LG's 65-inch UF9400 is a 4K TV with quantum-dot technology, a major buzzword at CES 2015

The top-of-the-line model is the 77-inch EG9900, an UltraHD OLED TV with a flexible display that transforms from curved to flat (and vice versa) thanks to a remote-controlled motorized bezel.

At this year’s show, you’ll see all that stuff without leaving the LG booth. The company’s 2015 television lineup is a murderer’s row of eye candy. In 2015, LG will stay way ahead of the OLED curve with 11 new OLED panels in their lineup—all of them with 4K resolution. There’s also an OLED TV that transforms from curvy to flat at the touch of a button, a quantum-dot 4K set, and several TVs powered by 10-core processors. In these early days of 4K, those processing guts are key, as streaming services and built-in smart platforms are the only way to get UltraHD content onto your set.

The top-of-the-line model is the 77-inch EG9900, an UltraHD OLED TV with a flexible display that transforms from curved to flat (and vice versa) thanks to a remote-controlled motorized bezel. Along with the shape-shifting screen, the EG990 comes loaded with LG’s latest WebOS+ smart hub, a 10-core processor, Harman/Kardon-branded speakers, and an anti-reflective screen coating. It’s due out in the second half of 2015 for an unannounced price, and it will almost certainly cost as much as a car. Probably a luxury car.

At long last, there will finally be more flat OLED panels available too. Three new flat-screen 4K OLED sets will be available by the end of the year: The 65-inch EF9800 has the same specs as the flexible EG9900, but it’s a flat-screen (non-transforming) model at a smaller size. Two lower-end OLED flat screens, the 65- and 55-inch EF9500, have quad-core processors but are otherwise identical in specs. No prices or release dates for those sets, either.

Even though LG will be pushing 4K OLEDs hard in 2015, they’re also dabbling with the technology that many think will steal OLED’s thunder at this year’s show. Quantum-dot displays, which use a layer of light-tuning nanoparticles in between the LED backlight system and the color filters, are expected to help the next generation of LCD sets achieve OLED-like performance at a much cheaper price. While LG is still betting big on OLED—and to my eyes, OLED certainly still looks better—LG does have a 4K quantum-dot set in its 2015 lineup.

The lone quantum-dot panel in LG’s stable is the 65-inch UF9400 UltraHD TV, a 240Hz set with a quad-core processor and Harman/Kardon speakers. According to LG, the quantum-dot film in front of the LED backlight system translates to a “25 to 30 percent wider color gamut and 10 percent more brightness” than a traditional LCD panel. However, the company also says this first-generation quantum-dot TV may show oversaturated colors due to the nature of the technology.Read More www.technical997.blogspot.com
