More about TV manufacturer LG

The electronics company from South Korea has been able to establish itself on the global TV market in recent years, particularly through the production of high-quality, well-equipped OLED TVs. The so-called C series is enormously popular, starting with the C6 from the 2016 model year. In 2021, the company relaunched the official naming scheme in line with the current decade, starting with the LG OLED C1.

Unlike many other TV producers, the electronics manufacturer obtains the screen technology for the majority of its TVs through its subsidiary LG Display. On this basis, other brands such as Samsung, Philips or Panasonic are also supplied with LCD or WOLED panels.

Despite great sales successes in the OLED sector, LG is not necessarily known for being particularly transparent with its technologies. Here, too, functionalities are often packaged in many different marketing terms. For you, we will shed some light on this labyrinth and explain the most important features in a quick run-through.

LG TV technologies explained

Depending on the ambient light, the TV automatically adjusts the picture details. To do this, a sensor constantly measures the light intensity in the room and adapts the illumination level. If you activate the feature, details in dark areas of the picture are brought out better. The function is intended for daytime use of the device. However, it does not affect the general brightness of the OLED light. Therefore, this setting is not an energy-saving option.

LG advertises this misleading marketing term as a so-called deep-learning algorithm that automatically recognises the nature of image content on the basis of an extensive visual database. For example, faces are supposed to appear more lifelike and screen texts are supposed to be displayed sharper. Ultimately, this is an upscaling method that usually only works via the standard setting of the television and only with content that has been authorised for this purpose.

With this function, you get an adaptive, meaning adjustable output of the audio signal. The frequency range is thereby optimised for the type of audio content. An algorithm takes care of the automatic adjustment. For example, the playback can be optimised by the TV for speech without you having to manually intervene each time.

LG has been calling its central processing units the Alpha AI processors for several generations now. The sixth year of this development was published in 2023. Within a single generation, the manufacturer differentiates between three power levels: A5, A7 and A9. This order also determines the use in low-range, mid-range and high-range TVs.

A general indicator for the peak brightness of an OLED from LG is the so-called Brightness Booster. Even if no really useful information is given here in terms of measured values, you can use it to roughly estimate which category the TV falls into. If you read the addition “Max”, LG indicates that the screen can be up to 70 percent brighter compared to the OLED reference. If this information is missing, the screen is still around 30 percent brighter. If, on the other hand, you don’t see the designation at all, you’ve probably ended up with the entry-level model. The B series is currently the reference here.

With the Hands Free Voice Control, LG features a system that allows you to give voice commands using only your speech. Since there is no need to use a remote control with an integrated microphone, you talk directly with your TV. Instructions can be given easily this way. Finding and playing media content, for example, will be possible. In addition, the function is compatible with Amazon’s Echo and Google Home.

Devices that LG equips with at least the second generation of its OLED.EX technology are advertised under the label OLED Evo. Since 2023, this also includes televisions equipped with MLA technology. LG has not yet officially advertised this extra upgrade. However, if you come across the term “Brightness Booster Max” within the range of functions, this indicates that the screen has been manufactured this way.

This term is LG’s label for the motion blur enhancement function also known as Black Frame Insertion or BFI for short. Here, black image data is implemented in the displayed content. For this purpose, the display switches on and off in extremely short intervals. As a result, the image appears to be clearer for the viewer. Disadvantage: A generally darker reproduction and possible screen flicker.

For years, LG has been offering a unique solution in the field of TV control with the Magic Remote, which sets the Company apart from the products of its competitors. Usually, a cursor symbol appears as soon as you point to the TV screen. Without any delay, this pointer follows your hand movement. Quick and uncomplicated navigation around the menu structure is made possible this way.

The abbreviation MLA is short for Micro Lens Array and represents the third generation of OLED panels. Officially, the term does not appear at LG. Instead, the company disguises the light collimation technology by using the marketing term “Brightness Booster Max“. For more information, take a look at the entry “Brightness Booster”.

Based on NanoCell technology, LG has been releasing new TV models every year since 2017. The concept is based on tiny nanoparticles that contribute to improving colour accuracy. It focuses on the effective filtering of the colour spectrum between red and green. Doing so leads to a clearer colour separation and thus to a higher accuracy. Plus, these method contribute to lower light reflection and a wider viewing angle.

Models marketed as QNEDs use a so-called quantum dot display for the visualisation. This has a special layer in front of the backlight. The main advantage of this approach involves the use of small semiconductor crystals, which provide the TV set with a wider colour spectrum.

With the help of the Sound Sync function, you can connect your LG TV to compatible soundbars or full-fledged home cinema systems via Bluetooth. This eliminates the need for a cable solution to synchronise the audio output of the TV with an external sound system.

The option of switching on the Game Optimizer interface gives you a full overview of relevant game settings. For example, you can switch directly to the gaming mode or quickly activate individual features such as VRR or ALLM. In addition, optimised presets for different game genres are available to choose from if required.

TVs equipped with ThinQ AI have the ability to handle voice commands via remote control or hands-free voice control. You can also connect additional devices to the TV as part of a smart home setup and control them simply by speaking.

TruMotion is the marketing name for the so-called interframe calculation. Depending on your settings, the TV intervenes more or less strongly in the image content in order to make the motion smoother and thus clearer. To do so, the system calculates additional picture material based on the content being played with the help of a specific algorithm.

LG’s in-house operating system is hidden behind the marketing name webOS. Despite the numerous updates that have been made over the years, the user interface has kept its clarity. Thus, the design is still considered one of the most user-friendly on the market.

With the WiSA standard, also known as Wireless Speaker and Audio Standard, you can implement a cableless transmission of audio signals to several speakers. But beware: This function is usually limited to certain sales variants within a model series. Therefore, check carefully before you buy. Aside from this, only a comparatively small number of devices are capable of working with this protocol.

Still at the top level in 2022?

As reported by the news agency Reuters, the loss-making business at LG Display in recent quarters should soon report a return to the black. This was announced within the report by Chief Financial Officer Sung-hyun Kim. Thus the supply of panels is picking up again due to seasonal factors. About half of the annual production in the OLED sector – almost 28 million OLED screens for small to medium-sized devices – is expected to be allotted within the fourth quarter. 

The main reason for the decline in sales were weak sales in the premium TV segment. In recent years, the demand for electronic products was generally not as strong due to high cost of living and an uncertain economic situation. As a result, not only did stocks remain at a high level, but the production of components for device manufacturers also decreased during this period.

The South Korean newspaper Etnews reports that the electronics company’s so-called SIC Centre has now developed a new AI-based processor platform. According to the report, the new development is to be called Alpha 10, placing it above the Alpha 9 cpu that has so far provided the computing on the company’s top models. 

This would add an even more powerful variant to the now 6th generation computing unit in the future and perhaps increase the range by a fourth option in general. Among the benefits of the chip are an improved image analysis, higher energy efficiency and the possibility to localise objects in a room when combined with a camera module. 

In doing so, the focus is on a stronger integration of real artificial intelligence and the minimisation of predefined algorithms. There are already plans to make the Alpha 10 available in LG’s upcoming smart TV models. Devices like a upcoming G4 could therefore benefit from it.

According to South Korean media, panel producer LG Display will deliver the first batches of WOLED displays to Samsung Electronics this month. Although an initial agreement on the cooperation has been reached, general conditions such as the duration of the contract and the volume do not seem to have been finally clarified yet and are currently running on the basis of a trial order. However, no official announcement has been made so far. 

The aim is apparently to supply 77″ and 83″ panels, which are supposed to further expand the QD range in the coming year. For this purpose, Samsung has requested the LG subsidiary to carry out the production according to certain specifications and to realise the production in the South Korean plant in Paju.

The OLED line-up announced at the beginning of the year is now available. In addition to the LG OLED B3, which represents the company’s new entry into the world of self-luminous pixels, the South Korean manufacturer is also stepping up with the popular gaming series from the C division. However, LG has not included an additional cooling unit here. 

Its flagship and once again equipped with the newest technology is the Gallery series with the LG OLED evo G3. Keyword here is especially the fresh MLA technology with an immense number of micro-lenses that further increase the brightness efficiency and turn the model into one of the most powerful TV devices in its field.

During this year’s LG Convention, the South Korean company announced the availability and prices of its 2023 lineup. Accordingly, the upcoming OLED models from the C3 and G3 series will be available starting in March. An exception is the C38 sales variant as well as the 42-inch size of the C39, which consumers will be able to purchase from May on. 

The new entry-level model from the portfolio, the B3, will follow in April, as Gerald Strömer, Senior Product Marketing Manager, announced. Therefore, the A-series seems to be discontinued. LG is also keeping quiet about a possible CS9 successor.

In terms of pricing, you can expect an retail selling of €1899 for the 55-inch variant of the B3. At the same size, the C-series costs another 500 euros extra. An additional €400 is charged for the G3 from the 4K premium segment. Usually, the street prices should be a bit lower. Depending on the configuration, the 8K Premium OLED Z3 will cost as much as a small or mid-range car, making it all the less interesting for the average consumer.

The TV market seems to be increasingly aware of the fact that 8K devices are lagging behind in terms of sales success for various reasons, and first manufacturers like TCL seem to have finally realized this. Meanwhile, the focus seems to change. Thus, attention could increasingly go to a display that is as smooth as possible and free of streaks.

Instead of additional 8K TVs, which only attract a few consumers, there is now more and more interest in 4K240. However, what has already found its way into monitors would first have to arrive in the TV landscape. Apart from a few exceptions with 144 frames per second, 120 hertz is still the measure of all things. 

At CES2023, for example, Samsung showcased the first OLED-based TV panel with an input signal of native 240 hertz behind closed doors. Laptops and monitors with such a high frame rate were already launched at the end of 2022. An additional will follow later this year. 

TCL will launch a TV with 240 hertz at half the vertical resolution via VRR before the end of this year. Whether LG Display will follow suit at this point is only a question of time. Advantages are mainly in the field of post-next-gen consoles and sports broadcasts.

LG will launch the G3 based on the so-called Meta technology before the end of this year. Thanks to Micro Lens Array and a sharper driving algorithm that is supposed to enable a luminance of 1800 nits at peak on the panel, the G3 – according to LG – can increase up to 70% in luminosity compared to last year’s model. The OLED TV will have a zero-gap design that makes it flush with the surface of the wall and will be available starting in spring.
