TVs flood

It is of course TVs which is the engine of LG’s launch. And there is no lack of new models.

Firstly, there is a wealth of new models with UHD resolution. Of the 25 new TVs in eight different series to be launched, will have 12 UHD resolution.

One of them has the world’s largest curved screen with 105 inch resolution. And it has 21:9 form factor. That means it has no black bars when the show films in this format.

All UHD models will be equipped with WebOS.

The smallest model with UHD is only 42 inches and then you sit reasonably close to see the pixels.

LG has equipped all the new models with HDMI 2, needed to connect external sources like Blu-ray, when UHD once is clear here, and they can decode the new H.264 takes to get the source material in UHD down at an acceptable bit rate.

The new models have IPS panel that provides very good quality and can be seen without degradation from the sides.

Even Este Netflix CEO Reed Hastings was on hand to throw the splendor of the new UHD models, which he did what needed to get to their new new UHD offers.

OLED

LG trumpeted that they now have a big lead in OLED TVs, and it might look like. This year it will benefit the entire five different OLED models with a 77-inch UHD model on top. It will probably be too expensive for most people and we suspect the others will have a price tag that stings.

Until now, OLED fell slightly after the UHD-front, but LG we rectify this. New models of 55 and 65 inches will come with the required eight mega pixels on the screen. They are just getting millimeters thick and have almost no frame.

LG also comes with a special OLED model with really large frame. The point is that it should be able to hang on the wall and look like a painting, and certainly get a price that a reasonably well-known artist could get for his work.

Smart Home

LG has big plans for the smart house.

launching a series of appliances that are connected to the network and can talk to an app via what they call Home Chat.

Now you can send a text message to the fridge and ask how many beers it, or to the washing machine and ask what it does, and when it becomes available.

LG goes so far as to call this a historic change, but we assume that the phrase was written by a marketing education.

In the throat of Sonos

It has surprised us how long Sonos has got to be alone on the market with its excellent solution. Now it is over, and LG’s probably just one of many that will launch similar products.

As Sonos, the two speakers LG announces start having WiFi in the form of a mesh. That is, they can send music to each other about the past is too far away coverage.

And that Sonos will LG have an app that can control the music and all sources.
