LG steals the stage at the 2019 Consumer Electronic Show
The 2019 Consumer Electronic Show wrapped last Friday and there were many highlights from LG.
Here are some awesome announcements:
LG Signature OLED R
LG wowed fans with the first rollable TV set announced at last week’s show.
The TV has three viewing modes: Full View (the display fully rolls out to watch TV), Line View (the display is partially unrolled and can show the time, the weather, photos, an ambient scene like a fireplace, stream music and access to the home dashboard) and finally Zero View (the display disappears but you can still listen to music through the 100-watts built-in Dolby Atmos speakers).
The TV will have to incorporate Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant built-in, as well as support for the Apple AirPlay 2 wireless technology and HomeKit—the former, allows users to stream videos, music, photos directly from their Apple devices, while the latter can control the TV using Apple’s Home app or its personal digital assistant, Siri
XBOOM Lineup
LG’s high-end XBOOM delivers a robust 2,000W output, employing a proprietary Blast Horn – a folded air duct behind the driver designed to create acoustic sound pressure by directing air through an amplifying duct – ensuring high-frequency reproduction and bass performance; creating sound users can feel as well as hear.
It also offers Meridian Mode, developed in collaboration with the experts at renowned British company Meridian Audio. This exclusive sound setting results in clearer vocals and more responsive bass, perfect for sound buffs who enjoy listening to music while relaxing at home.
LG 8K OLED TV
Powered by the company’s second-generation α (Alpha) 9 Gen 2 intelligent processor and deep learning algorithm, the new models offer a higher level of AI picture and sound experience quality.
The premium 75-inch 8K LCD TVs lineup will be rolled out under the name NanoCell TV, highlighting its picture enhancement provided by NanoCell technology (NanoColor), color accuracy in wide viewing angle (NanoAccuracy) and ultra-narrow thin bezel with a sleek design (NanoBezel).
These NanoCell TVs will also offer AI-enhanced picture and sound, powered by a deep learning algorithm, as well as the streamlined experience offered by ThinQ.
Ultra-Wide and Ultra-Game Monitors
LG’s debuted its UltraWide with a 32:9 ratio/49-inch/5120 x 1440 aspect ratio curved screen that delivers exceptional picture quality and ideal for multitasking. This works for people in finance, IT, design and architecture where display accuracy and quality are required.

These screens provide vivid imagery on the monitor’s 3840 x 1600 21:9 aspect ratio, curved screen, and virtually borderless design. Sphere Lighting, designed for immersive gaming ambiance, offers up to six different color settings that emanate from the back of the monitor and can be tailored to the gamers’ mood while also helping to reduce eye fatigue.
