LG Electronics will be exhibiting its newest flagship 4K HDR-enabled OLED TVs at CES 2016 in Las Vegas. The product range includes the flagship 77/65-inch LG SIGNATURE OLED TV G6 and 65/55-inch E6 models. The entire OLED TV lineup for 2016 consists of eight products with the top-of-the-line 77-inch G6 receiving a 2016 CES Best of Innovations Award.
The G6 and E6 are the first TVs from LG to implement the company’s unique Picture-on-Glass design language, featuring ultra-thin 2.57mm OLED panels with translucent glass backs and forward-facing sound bar speaker system.
Unlike LCD displays where the LED backlight locally dims entire sections of the screen, each pixel on an OLED panel can switch on and off independently. As a result, OLED TVs render crisp, vibrant colors and shadow details, even when bright objects are directly next to deep, dark areas. This ability ensures that images are displayed in perfect black as well as in vibrant colors, making OLED TVs the ideal medium for HDR content.
With 10-bit panel and 10-bit processing power, LG’s OLED TVs have access to more than a billion possible color options and ColorPrime Pro technology gives these TVs the ability to display the finest details of color and gradation, covering 99 percent of the DCI-P3 color space. With a higher color reproduction rate, LG OLED TVs allow users to fully and accurately experience the content creator’s artistic vision. And with support for BT.2020, the next-generation standard for broadcast and distribution, the G6 and E6 are future-proof.
Developed in partnership with high-end audio pioneer harman/kardon, the LG G6 and E6 are designed with a front-firing sound bar speaker system. With the speakers pointing forward, not downward like many thin TVs, viewers will hear clean, detailed audio without any distortion and reflection. The sound bar system is equipped with extra woofers to bolster the power of the speakers, setting LG OLED TVs apart from other stylish, ultra-thin TVs.
The 2016 OLED TV lineup come with the newest iteration of LG’s webOS content management platform. LG webOS 3.0 provides an exceptional user experience to help LG SMART TV users more intuitively navigate the TV’s many features. Since its commercial introduction in 2015, webOS has been praised as one of the most versatile smart TV platforms by major media titles.
The LG G6 and E6, among other new LG products, will be on display at CES with plans to start its global rollout in March.
