By incorporating the company’s 4-Color Pixels and Color Refiner features with LG Display’s advanced OLED (organic light-emitting diode) panels, LG OLED TV promises the most natural colors of any TV set at a much lower price point than could have been achieved using the standard manufacturing process.

“We have a product which not only delivers on all the advantages of OLED over LCD but at a significantly lower cost than what could be achieved using existing OLED manufacturing technologies,” said Havis Kwon, President and CEO of LG Electronics Home Entertainment Company.The 4-Color Pixels and Color Refiner features work together to generate natural and accurate colors that are sharp and consistent.

The 4-Color Pixels feature allows for more accurate color depiction by using a set of four colors (red, green blue and white) – in comparison to the RGB setup used by other OLED TV manufacturers.

Color Refiner ensures consistency in colors from a wider viewing angle via an LG algorithm which improves and refines hues and tones. This is in contrast to other OLED TVs which often exhibit drastic changes in hues from different viewing angles and abnormal color gamut.

The 55-inch OLED TV is only 4mm thin and weighs 7.5kg.

Boasting an infinite contrast ratio, LG’s OLED TV promises vivid colors and the smallest details regardless of the overall luminance of the on-screen image.

Colors and details throughout an entire image are preserved with clarity and sharpness, even when displaying scenes with dark lighting.

At 1,000 times faster than LED/LCD displays, LG’s OLED TV shows crystal clear motion without any blurring or bleeding.

At only 4 mm thin and a 7.5 kg, the slim and narrow Bezel design LG’s OLED TV gives it a sleek, minimal look allowing it to blend into the wall.

I had the chance to watch a few 3D movies on LG’s 47-inch 3D TV and was immensely impressed so I can only imagine what an 84-inch screen size would be like.

LG's 3D TVs come with some very stylish looking 3D glasses.

Combined with LG’s Slim and Narrow Bezel Design, the 3D UD TV provides the most convincing 3D viewing experience currently available outside of a movie theatre.

3D Depth Control allows users to customize their viewing experience by controlling the amount of 3D effect, while 3D Sound Zooming provides users with 3D sound that rivals the output of home theater systems.

Via the display panel or LG’s new Magic Remote, users can access and navigate LG’s Smart TV ecosystem, which comprises over 1,200 apps and gives users access to a growing range of content services such as the 3D Zone where viewers can select from a wealth of 3D movies.
