For CES, LG wowed attendees with its OLED Canyon, a
mesmerizing walkway that consists of over 246 LG Open Frame OLED displays.
Audiences walked through the Canyon, which was 90 feet in length, flanked on
both sides by hundreds of concave and convex displays showing brilliant natural
imagery, ranging from waterfalls and caves to glaciers and seascapes. The rich,
vibrant colors of the OLED screens contributed to an unparalleled sense of
immersion that had audiences snapping photos at every turn.
Another one of LG’s incredible showcases was a 65-inch
rollable OLED display. While it's not the first time LG demonstrated the
amazingly flexible properties of OLED panels - in 2016, LG demoed a bendy
18-inch prototype - it's the first time that the technology has been seen scaled
up to the size of a typical large TV. When unrolled, the huge 4K display
featured all the hallmarks of LG’s best OLED televisions, with incredible
contrast and vivid colors, but at the touch of a button, it retracted into its
base until it was completely out of sight, rolled up within. Other options
included partly descending into the base, switching from a 16:9 widescreen
aspect ratio to a 21:9 ultrawide, allowing you to view movies shot at cinematic
aspect ratios without any letterboxing. Another option caused the display to
sink almost all the way into the base, revealing only a small strip that
displayed updates, controls, and notifications.
While these technologies represent visions of the future
that may not be coming to your living room any time soon, LG had more up its
sleeve for current customers in the form of the LG Signature OLED W8, its
latest flagship TV. The W8 includes further enhancements to the display
technology, along with a whole host of new features that highlight it as one of
the best TVs you can buy. One feature is the integration of Google Assistant
into the webOS Smart TV platform, allowing you to use intuitive voice commands
to control the W8, search the Web, control IoT and smart home devices, and
more. Another is the inclusion of a 4.2 Dolby Atmos soundbar that provides
incredible sound to match any content that you can throw at it. The soundbar
also serves as the input source for the TV, and connects to it via a stunningly
thin cable.
As other manufacturers enter the market with their own OLED
models, LG’s pioneering efforts and technological leadership in the field are
what allow it to stay on top. These and other demonstrations of LG’s OLED
technology truly cement LG’s status as the No. 1 OLED brand.
