LG Electronics showcased the 55-inch OLED TV at CES 2012 in Nevada, Las Vegas, USA. The TV will hit Singapore in Q4 of 2012.
LG's 55-inch OLED TV will hit Singapore towards the end of 2012.
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.

LG Electronics unveiled the 84-inch 3D Ultra Definition TV at the International Consumer Electronics Show 2012. The TV is set to launch in Singapore in Q4 of 2012.
World's largest 3D Ultra Definition TV: LG's 84-inch 3D UD TV
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.
The 84-inch 3D Ultra Definition (UD) TV combines the Korean maker’s advanced 3D technology and Smart TV function with UD display technology, to break new ground in immersive 3D home entertainment.
LG’s 3D UD TV boasts superb picture quality with 8 million pixels, four times the resolution clarity (3840×2160) of existing Full HD TV panels.
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.

Elegantly designed in wood, glass and metal, the Metz Primus 3D Media twin R comes in 55” (S$11,700) and 42” (S$8,000) screens and will be available from December 2011.
Feeling generous this Christmas, or just want to pamper yourself after a good, industrious year?
The new Primus 3D LED TV from luxury German brand, Metz, will be the anchor of 3D and multimedia entertainment in the living room, and a conversation piece for that TV dinner night.
Wall-mounted without the sound module.
The Primus 3D comes with both modern 3D LED technology as well as the new Metz media system with numerous networking opportunities.
Programmes can be conveniently recorded and archived in 3D using the integrated 750 GB digital recorder. That’s 150 hours of HDTV quality video or 750 hours in traditional SDTV quality.
Superior picture quality is offered through a combination of mecavision HD+ technology and 200 Hz technology – using energy-efficient LED technology. Movements and rapid panning shots on-screen are handled with ease and appear vibrant yet natural.
Metz Primus 3D LED mounted on table
The 3D technology is based on the use of circular polarisation. A wafer-thin polarisation film on the LED panel simultaneously sends the differently polarised pictures to the right and left eyes – clockwise-polarised for one-eye and anti-clockwise for the other.
This eliminates flickering and restrictions in horizontal view when turning the head. The first two pairs of 3D glasses comes free with the TV.
The TV also converts 2D films to 3D.
Via an Ethernet connection, the Primus can access video, photos and music stored on other digital devices such as notebooks, PCs and network hard drives, and play them.
A USB port allows USB storage media to be directly plugged into the TV. Live programmes can be recorded directly onto external USB hard disks.
Physically, the Primus can be positioned free-standing on its stand or placed on a table stand. It can also be mounted on the wall with or without the visually separate sound module.

Sound wise, viewers can enjoy high-quality sound via a two-way bass reflex system or through headphones. Surround sound is produced by the reproduction of multi-channel sound (eg. 5.1 Dolby Digital) via the system decoder through the optical digital audio output.
At the back of the TV, there are four HDMI sockets, a DVI-I interface and a USB port. There are also two external access CI+ and HD+ compatible slide-in slots for CA modules – for receiving different Pay TV channels and operating them in the usual OSD.
Digital in and output allows peripheral digital audio devices to be connected.
Metz LED TVs are only available at the Schmidt store at #05-06/07 in Ngee Ann City Tower A.
