In the meantime, here are a few key points that apply to the entire line-up, which should provide a bit of context. Alternatively, scroll down for a more detailed breakdown of the individual models.

That commitment seems to have paid off, because now LG is providing panels to Sony and Panasonic to make their own OLED TVs. As for LG, it’s releasing five ranges of OLED TVs, going from 55 inches to 77 inches, with prices ranging from £2999 to £24,999. ![]() Serial de csi la conspiracion judia. 2) There’s better OLED There are many reasons to buy OLED, but there is one weakness that LG’s LCD-wielding rivals like to point out: peak brightness. OLED just doesn’t get as bright as LCD can, although its ability to reach properly deep blacks has always been an effective counter-argument. But now, the argument for OLED is stronger than ever, because LG has managed to bump the peak brightness to about 1000 nits, which is on par with the top LCD models from 2016. 3) There’s not just OLED LG loves to bang the OLED drum, but it is also putting out LED LCD models. There are six product lines, ranging from 43 inches to 86 inches, all of which sport IPS panels. Three of these lines, dubbed the ‘LG Super UHD TV 4K’ models, also use Nano Cell technology, which LG says will give you more accurate colours, deeper blacks and better viewing angles.

This great software enables you to watch TV and all your favourite programs via the internet on your PC and at any time. 4) There’s Wide HDR compatibility High Dynamic Range (or HDR) gives you a wider range of colours, brightness and contrast, and is the latest must-have feature. But it’s still early days and the AV industry at large hasn’t decided on one format to use, leading LG to take a belt-and-braces approach. It supports the common HDR10 format and the cinema-favourite, plus LG’s own Active HDR, which is supposed to add dynamic metadata (found in Dolby Vision) to HDR10 sources. Then there’s the upcoming and broadcast-friendly, plus Technicolor’s Advanced HDR format. 5) There’s no 3D – and no curves As LG charges ahead with future-proofing its lineup, it has decided to ditch both curved screen designs and 3D technology – I’m told it’s because not enough people wanted them. 6) There’s an updated Smart TV interface LG makes the best TV software, as far as I’m concerned. The WebOS menu system came up with many tricks that are now standard, but still nobody does it quite as smoothly. Now we’re on to WebOS 3.5, which doesn’t change all that much but adds performance improvements and a couple of nice tweaks. My favourite? The ability to assign apps to the number buttons on the remote. Now you can have Netflix on speed dial. Related: LG Signature W7 OLED LG ‘OLED TV 4K’ models – top of the range I’ll start with the top of the food chain: the OLEDs. LG tells me that all the models share the same panel, chipset and processing, and that picture quality should be the same. They all claim a peak brightness of about 1000 nits. They can all handle 10-bit colour. And they all feature the same polarising filter, used on top of existing anti-reflective film to improve the contrast ratio. The difference, then, is in the aesthetics and sound system.
