While 4K televisions are nothing new, OLED will be something that many of you will only have seen in smartphone displays from the likes of Samsung’s AMOLED displays.
OLED TV will form the major backbone of LG’s 2015 TV offering with all of its 4K televisions using OLED technology instead of LED. There will be seven models in the new range with 55 inch, 65 inch and 77 inch models all available.
While all of these acronyms look similar OLED TVs have a much greater contrast ratio than any other kind of television technology. It’s because each individual pixel in an OLED panel not only illuminates itself, but can also be turned off making it go completely black. That makes them ideal for rooms in either the complete darkness of night or the full brightness of a South African summer’s day. They also have incredible viewing angles which allow everyone watching the TV, from any angle to be able to see the same colours without having them wash out.
Driving the system will be quad core processors and the latest version of the WebOS operating system that we first saw in the 105 inch monster TV from LG at CES last year which will add 4K streaming content from YouTube and other such services.
Expect to see these TVs in stores in SA in the coming months and we’ll get pricing to you as soon as they arrive.
