In an announcement today, LG has revealed its latest lineup of OLED TVs that will be displayed at the CES 2024.
The lineup talks about the company’s OLED evo TVs that consist of 4 times faster AI performance. Created by LG, the AI processoris only for its OLED TVs and is a part of the LG SIGNATURE OLED M4 and LG OLED G4 TVs.
According to the company"s blog post, the new AI, the α (Alpha) 11 AI processor, will improve image and audio quality. This means that the latest models will have 30% faster processing and 70% enhancement in visual performance than their predecessors.
An additional functionality highlighted by LG is that the AI helps sharpen the image quality and enhances the color vibrancy. The AI can handle this due to its upgraded AI upscaling and pixel-level image analysis.
The company further explains:
“Moreover, the ingenious AI processor adeptly refines colors by analyzing frequently used shades that best convey the mood and emotional elements intended by filmmakers and content creators. Dynamic Tone Mapping Pro splits pictures into blocks and fine-tunes brightness and contrast by analyzing variations in brightness where light enters the scene, creating images that look more three-dimensional.”
The LG SIGNATURE OLED M4 is a wireless OLED TV and the screen sizes for the TV range from 65 to 97 inches.
Additionally, the OLED TVs use a Zero Connect Box which helps the OLED M4 TV series provide users video and audio transmission at up to 4K 144Hz wirelessly. LG adds thatthis is the only wireless TV model to deliver video and audio transmission up to this level.
