LG 55-inch OLED 3D TV

We first saw LG’s 55-inch OLED 3D TV as CES and with the company’s promise of a down-to-earth price for the largest OLED TV yet, our interest peaked. We’ve been waiting for alternative technologies to really challenge LCD and Plasma TVs, and while OLED panels hold a lot of promise, we’ve only seen extremely expensive and small-screened OLED TVs.

The company wasn’t forthcoming on too many details on the set. We know that the 55-inch LG OLED TV uses 4-color pixel technology (RGBW) for more natural colors and that it’s super thin and light at just 4mm thick and weighing 7.5kg (16.5lbs). Initial information point to a fourth quarter release at a yet undetermined price.

LG Cinema Screen 3D TV with 1mm bezel

LG has mastered a great line-up for 2012. First you have the humongous 84-inch Ultra Definition QFHD 3D TV, then the world’s largest 55-inch OLED TV with 4-color technology and now it has managed to reduce the bezel on its Cinema 3D TVs to virtually nothing, titled ‘Cinema Screen’ design. We can’t express how happy we are that bezels are finally on a losing streak.

The new Cinema Screen 3D TVs with just 1mm top and side bezel have other tricks up their sleeve us well. First you have Dual Play, whereby two game players can see entirely different full images, as opposed to a traditional split screen — something we already saw in the Vizio Versus and the Sony Playstation 3D display. Then you have 3D Sound Zooming, which claims to synchronize audio with the location of various on-screen objects.

LG 84-inch Ultra Definition 3D TV

Manufacturers just love to shout largest, and LG is certainly in a record breaking mood today. LG Electronics has just unveiled the world’s largest 3D Ultra Definition (UD) TV. By Ultra Definition the company suggests a Quad Full High Definition (QFHD) resolution of 3840 x 2160 pixels, which doubles the number of pixels of 1080p on each axis. That’s equivalent to four 1080p TVs stuck together, though not up to a full 4K resolution (which would mean at least 4,000 pixels on the horizontal axis).

The 84-inch behemoth is promising an immersive 3D experience, which we are inclined to believe, and something that LG will be happy to demonstrate at CES 2012 in Las Vegas. The TV will have access to LG’s Smart TV ecosystem with over 1,200 apps and some video content. It’s also set to come with a new Magic Remote with voice recognition and magic gestures. Well, there’s only two weeks left to CES 2012 where we will know more.
