[CES 2012] LG’s 55-inch OLED TV – 4mm thin, ultra-thin bezel [Video]

January 10, 2012 admin 2 Comments

Both LG and Samsung have the world’s largest OLED displays, both with a screen size of 55″. I took a look at LG’s panel, and it was quite spectacular. It’s incredibly thin at just 4mm, and has a near bezel-less design. Colors were simply stunning. Pricing and availability are currently unavailable. View our pictures and LG’s press release below.

Press Release

LAS VEGAS, Jan. 9, 2012 – LG Electronics (LG) today unveiled the future of home entertainment at the 2012 International Consumer Electronics Show (booth #8204) as the company shows its revolutionary 55-inch class (54.6-inch diagonal) OLED HDTV. It is designed to recreate reality with perfection, using the Organic Light Emitting Diode (OLED) display technology powered by LG’s TRIPLE XD Engine.

“The OLED TV is the ultimate display device, a culmination of the sophisticated technological advances made by LG,” Havis Kwon, President and CEO of LG Electronics Home Entertainment Company. “This next-generation display will further strengthen LG’s position as a true leader and trend-setter of the home entertainment industry. It is the TV of dreams.”

Whether in 2D or 3D, LG’s 55-inch (55EM9600) OLED TV is designed to display flawless, life-like images through picture quality that was technically impossible with previous LED/LCD display panels. Relying largely on self-lighted organic pixels, the OLED TV exhibits precise color, absolute contrast and blazing clarity. Boasting a contrast ratio of over 100,000,000:1, fifty times greater than that of LED/LCD display panels, the OLED TV displays vivid colors and the fine details, helping to preserve images with utmost clarity and sharpness, even when displaying scenes with dark lighting.

Such picture quality is complemented by the OLED TV’s lightning speed of under 0.1 microseconds. Such speed enables the OLED TV to display rapid movements and motions in a crystal clear manner while virtually eliminating blur or bleeding.

LG’s own TRIPLE XD Engine further contributes to the strengths of the OLED display panel through its three core capabilities. The TRIPLE XD Engine’s Dynamic Color Enhancer provides superior color reproduction, while the Contrast Optimizer and the Resolution Upscaler fine tune the OLED TV’s ability to present even the finest details in dramatic fashion.

LG’s OLED TV is as aesthetically pleasing as it is technologically sophisticated. Due to the ultra-slim bezel enabled by LG’s CINEMA SCREEN Design, the OLED TV exhibits a sleek, minimal exterior. As the OLED TV does not require a lamp or bulky support structures, the OLED TV is 4mm 3/16ths of an inch) thin and weighs a mere 7.5kg (16.5 pounds), making the OLED TV ideal for wall mounted display. Additionally, when mounted on a wall, the OLED TV’s design creates minimal space between itself and the wall.

I didn’t realize that Panasonic had a 55-inch OLED planned to go to production this year. I know a lot of people have been impressed with the performance of OLED and I have been reading about the reactions from attendees at CES that saw the Samsung and LG displays. As the TV industry is gearing up to revive consumer interest in the TV market, a lot of other companies are capitalizing on the consumer’s interest in the tech they can’t afford, mainly Smart TVs. A number of Samsung TVs mimic some of the on-screen features that pay TV providers have been giving their customers for a while now, and my employer, DISH Network, is advancing that idea even further with their TV app-capable multi-room DVR called the Hopper. The fastest processor available now is in the Hopper, which gives it the ability to do all of this, plus real logos on the guide and an even faster response time. I am excited about the 250 hours of HD recording time and up to 6 shows at night with the PrimeTime Anytime that records the four major networks since my family watches a lot of TV. After trying it now all I have to do is buy it when it comes out.

White Oled TV is where it is at! the 4 subpixels make it consume less power and have more accurate colors I can’t wait for LG to start selling these bad boy White oled TVs.

Pana is not going to release in 2012 I just don’t think they can it just won’t happen. I think pana is quite far behind on Oled.
