  • LG releases 105-inch Curved 4K ULTRA HD TV – Model 105UB9


    LG is working hard towards being the leader in the smart-TV industry by creating a good number of impressive TVs. The company has released 105-inch corved 4K ULTRA HD TV: model 105UB9. 

    The 105” U-HD TV is LG’s first 100+ inch curved TV and the company plans to follow this up with 49”, 55” and 65” versions. This is another notable achievement after the company initiated the introduction of curved OLED TV screens.

    LG indicated that it would be releasing 68 new models in its 2014 releases, with 49” televisions leading the pack.

    The new smart TVs runs on the webOS Smart TV platform bought from Hewlett-Packard. LG had modified the OS after the purchase and brought it back as its own for its smart TVs.

    Over 70% of LG’s smart TVs will be running on the new operating system in 2014. Early January saw its presentation at CES.

    Its user friendliness is a feature that makes it stand out among other similar operating systems. The feature allows users to carry out tasks like content searching and connecting to other smart devices very easily.

    According to the President and CEO of LG Electronics Home Entertainment Company, the company is looking forward to making great strides in the smart TV market. Its webOS smart TV platform, ULTRA IPS, CINEMA 3D display technologies will play a significant role in placing LG on the ‘to watch’ list this year.

    LG's Ultra HD Engine Pro, which has a 3840 x 2160 resolution processing power, is responsible for its 4K quality.

    LG and Harman Kardon are working together to improve its sound system.

  • Just Like LG, Samsung Announces Its Own 105-Inch Curved HDTV

    Within hours after LG announced its 105-inch curved HDTV, Samsung also reported that it will have a huge, curved TV that will be displayed at CES in January. This seems to be the ongoing trend.

    Samsung will showcase the curved TV at the CES (Consumer Electronics Show) in Las Vegas. The screen will exceed the standard 3,840 by 2,160 resolution commonly seen on 4K HDTV’s. Thus, the screen’s resolution will be about 5,120 by 2,160. This will give the screen an aspect ratio of 21:9 rather than the standard 16:9 aspect ration commonly found on most HDTVs and on 1080p. Besides, the number of pixels will exceed to 11 million from 8 million.

    Considering the earlier announcement that LG made, Samsung is referring to its 105-inch, curved UHD TV as the first, biggest and most curved TV device. While ‘most curved’ may be a hard claim to oppose, first and largest may be questionable as LG’s 105UB9 4K HDTV will also be at the same show.

    It is worth noting that LG’s 105UB9 is a 105-inch screen as well with a 5.120 by 2,160 resolution plus an aspect ratio of 21:9. Since both concepts are shared by Samsung and LG, it will be difficult to rule out in of the screens as the winner.

    Interestingly, neither Samsung nor LG have reports whether their screens will be accessible for sale. Therefore, if you would like to purchase the 105-inch, curved HDTV in 2014, you may not easily find it. And even if these gadgets are availed, you can anticipate a price tag of over $20,000 just for one of the models. In the meantime, both curved and big screens will be showcased at the CES unless of course one of the companies reports commercial availability at the showground.

  • LG goes Retro and Incorporates Rotary Dials in New HDTV


    LG are renowned for their next-generation gadgetry. This time they have chosen to go retro with their new LG 32LN630R HDTV. The 32-inch LCD set boasts a full HD resolution and it comes with support for USB drives and MHL.

    LG certainly seem to be missing the TVs that had you walking over to change the channels. Their 32LN630R looks pretty much like a '70s tube TV down to the rotary dials and working channel, and they have infused the retro design with the usual modern luxuries like the 1080p IPS-based display that has support for both MHL video from mobile devices and USB-based storage. The TV has a native resolution of 1920×1080.

    LG has started shipping the 32LN630R TV to South Korea at a cost of 840,000 won ($754). Americans who are nostalgic of the Retro TVs will have to wait a while to get this HDTV as the company has no immediate plans of distributing it in the American market.

The super-thin curved screens, model 55EA9800, are available through Magnolia Stores inside Best Buy for just shy of 15 grand.

    The ground-breaking, ultra-thin curved design of the 55-inch LG Curved OLED TV, alongside a next-generation display technology, delivers an experience that sets the benchmark for TV design and home entertainment in the industry.
