LG has shown off a new OLED TV at this year’s CES, although this one is a little different than your standard HDTV as it features a curved OLED screen and offers support for Cinema 3D.
The LG EA9800 features a 55-inch curved OLED display, and it uses proprietary WGRB technology, with a four-color pixel system which includes a white pixel as well as the standard red, green, and blue pixels.
“LG is the first to launch the 55-inch OLED TV,” said Havis Kwon, President and CEO of LG’s Home Entertainment Company. “We believe our new OLED TVs offer the ultimate viewing experience, surpassing anything seen before. The new curved model complements our core OLED TV family with a unique design that capitalizes on the thinness of the screen and the aesthetic beauty of OLED TV.”
Innovative Design and Technology
The curved design of the LG EA9800 is not just for aesthetics; it also enhances the viewing experience by ensuring that the entire screen surface is equidistant from the viewer’s eyes. This curvature reduces visual distortion and provides a more immersive experience, especially when watching 3D content. The Cinema 3D support means that viewers can enjoy 3D movies and shows with greater depth and realism, making it a perfect choice for home theaters.
The proprietary WGRB technology is another standout feature. Traditional OLED screens use RGB (red, green, blue) pixels, but LG’s addition of a white pixel (W) enhances brightness and color accuracy. This four-color pixel system ensures that the display can produce more vivid and lifelike colors, making everything from movies to sports look more dynamic and engaging.
Future Availability and Pricing
LG has not given any details on when the new LG EA9800 will be available, and there are also no details on pricing. However, given the advanced technology and unique design, it is expected that this could be quite an expensive device when it is launched. OLED technology is generally more costly than traditional LED or LCD screens due to the complex manufacturing process and the superior picture quality it offers.
The introduction of the LG EA9800 also signifies LG’s commitment to pushing the boundaries of television technology. As the first company to launch a 55-inch OLED TV, LG is setting a new standard in the industry. This move is likely to spur other manufacturers to innovate and develop their own advanced OLED models, leading to more options and potentially lower prices for consumers in the future.
