If you have been patiently waiting for LG’s massive 84 inch Ultra HD TV to arrive in the UK, and have deep enough pockets for its £22,500 pricetag, you will be pleased to know that it has now arrived in the UK.
Unfortunately for UK residents, the exchange rate from US dollars to pounds Sterling has not done them any favours. The same HD TV in the US is priced at $22,500, but the exchange rate translates the UK equivalent price to $36,000. This significant price difference is a result of the fluctuating exchange rates and additional import taxes that often affect high-end electronics.
Advanced Display Technology
The new 84 inch Ultra HD TV is equipped with a display sporting a resolution of 3840 x 2160, which is four times that of standard HD TVs. This Ultra HD resolution, also known as 4K, provides a much sharper and more detailed picture, making it ideal for large screen sizes where pixel density is crucial for maintaining image clarity.
In addition to its impressive resolution, the TV features LG’s Triple XD Engine Dynamic Colour Enhancer and Resolution Upscaler. These technologies work together to enhance lower resolution content, making it appear closer to native 4K quality. This is particularly useful for viewers who still watch a lot of HD or even SD content, as it ensures that all media looks its best on the large screen.
The TV also includes TruMotion 240Hz technology, which reduces motion blur and makes fast-moving scenes, such as sports or action movies, appear smoother and more fluid. This is a significant improvement over standard 60Hz or even 120Hz refresh rates found in many other TVs.
Immersive Viewing Experience
LG has always prioritized picture quality, and this new Ultra HD TV is no exception. The company has been a pioneer in developing high-definition standards and is now leading the way in Ultra High Definition technology. According to LG, their goal is to create a crisp and immersive viewing experience that consumers are currently missing with large-screen TVs.
“Picture quality has always been LG’s foremost priority, one that’s especially important now as manufacturers scale TVs to meet the trend line pointing toward larger and larger class sizes,”-”We were instrumental in developing the HD standard and, similarly, our goal now is to pioneer Ultra High Def technology to create the crisp and immersive viewing experience consumers are currently missing with large-screen TVs.”
This statement underscores LG’s commitment to pushing the boundaries of what is possible with television technology. The 84 inch Ultra HD TV is not just about having a larger screen; it’s about delivering an unparalleled viewing experience that makes you feel like you’re part of the action.
For those interested in the technical aspects, the TV also supports various HDR formats, which enhance the contrast and color range of the picture, making it more lifelike. This is particularly noticeable in scenes with a lot of dark and light contrast, such as night scenes or bright outdoor scenes.
