What is the future of televisions?
Some years ago when you wanted to buy a TV, the number of options included were
limited. The most common things to look for were regular specifications like
size, price, and black & white or color.
Today it is necessary to
choose among all sorts of specifications and features when you shop for a new TV. In addition to screen size and cost such
features as resolution, contrast, and definition are usually part of the
decision. Another critical choice is whether you want a LED, LCD or plasma TV.
Currently
there is a fantastic new option which offers even more features. I recently had
the opportunity to attend an LG Electronics event in which I viewed a
demonstration of their OLED TV. It has more advanced features than I could have
imagined were possible.
The first
thing I noticed about this amazing TV was how stylish and thin it is. Its
screen is curved and it is only 4.3mm thick, the same thickness as a pencil. I have never seen a TV so thin. The curved screen
gives you the new option to watch your favorite show from any angle in your
room without losing the picture quality.
Another special feature
is the way the TV turns when you want to watch your favorite movie in a dark
room. Because OLED displays do not require
a backlight, pixels that are switched off are truly black, so OLED achieves
deeper black levels and a higher contrast ratio. When compared to LCD (liquid
crystal display) TVs with conventional cold cathode fluorescent lamp (CCFL)
backlighting, there is a quite a difference in the quality of the picture. The black of the screen doesn’t turn grey
when you dim the lights in the room.
For sports
fans the LG TruMotion 240Hz technology lets you enjoy sporting events and
high-speed action with enhanced clarity. Expect even the fastest action to be dependably
crystal clear and virtually blur-free.
For me the most
extraordinary feature of this TV is that it has most of the smart functions
found on a smart phone. It has webOS user interface features that allow instant
access to your favorite apps. You can access your favorite apps instantly. It
has a magic remote control that connects you with point
& click, the scroll of a wheel, and the LG’s advanced Voice Mate feature
with natural speech recognition. Yes, you can send voice commands to your TV, request
to search for a special episode of a show, or find a film starring your
favorite Hollywood actor! You can even control all your home entertainment devices
with just one remote. Say goodbye to that pile
of remote controls.
Do you
want to know the cost of this TV? I was surprised to find that the price of the
OLED TV was less than I expected. The cost of the 55 inch model is $ 3,499.
