LG took OLED technology a notch further on April 2013 when it globally revealed the Gallery OLED TV and Curved OLED TV, a 55-inch wide and 4.3mm thick TV which promises the immersive IMAX experience. LG states that it had taken researchers more than five years to develop the optimum curvature to make the entire screen surface equidistant from the viewer’s eyes. This eliminates screen-edge visual distortion and loss of detail.
“LG is looking forward to launching the world’s first Gallery OLED TV and Curved OLED TV in the Philippines,” Hoony Bae, vice president of LG Electronics Philippines’ Home Entertainment division, expressed. “Being a progressive country, the local market will surely enjoy getting a feel of the next generation TV technology.”
LG says the curved screen is the most optimal form for any display, shaped after natural human sight and vision. Previous modes of display have been restricted by technical constraints, and catered to the machine rather than the viewer.
The Curved OLED TV is only 16.3kg light and has a Carbon Fiber-Reinforced Plastic (CFRP) to add additional strength to the curved screen.
The Curved OLED TV is only 16.3kg light and has a Carbon Fiber-Reinforced Plastic (CFRP) to add additional strength to the beautifully curved screen. LG provides a wall mount (LG 55EA9800) specifically for the TV and includes thin transparent film speakers in the crystal clear stand, providing high-quality sound without compromising the TV’s seamless design.
The advanced OLED technology uses organic compounds that emit light directly when an electric current is applied. Unlike LCD displays, backlights are not needed, reducing power consumption and distortions even at extreme angles. Picture quality is enhanced with LG’s unique WRGB technology, Color Refiner, and Infinite Contrast Ratio. To perfect the experience, LG OLED TV also combines the company’s industry-leading CINEMA 3D technology with Smart TV capabilities.
The LG Gallery OLED and Curved OLED TV will be available to the local market in the fourth quarter of 2013.
