LG Electronics’ newest innovative TV products will take center stage at the 2016 International Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas.
Leading the company’s IPS TV offerings will be the 65-inch UH9500 and 86-inch UH9550 and SUPER UHD TV 65-inch UH8500 and 75-inch UH8550.
The premium SUPER UHD TV models will offer higher color reproduction rate, advanced picture and sound-enhancing features including HDR (high dynamic range) and LG’s alluring ULTRA Slim design.
Both LG’s top-of-the-line UH9500 and UH9550 units boast of advanced IPS display with innovations such as True Black Panel and Contrast Maximizer. True Black Panel is a proprietary technology that minimizes reflections and enhances contrast ratio while Contrast Maximizer delivers more depth and contrast by separating objects from their backgrounds.
Brian Kwon, President and CEO, LG Home Entertainment Company.We’re confident our newest HDR-enabled SUPER UHD TVs in 2016 will generate much excitement not in the industry, but also with consumers in general. We are the only company with a dual strategy focused on both OLED and IPS TV technologies and this is proof that we are not prioritizing one display over the other.
Another innovation, Billion Rich Colors, uses the 10-bit panel and 10-bit processing power to give the UH9500 and UH9550 the ability to render over one billion possible colors.
And with support for BT.2020, the next-generation standard for broadcast and distribution, these TV models are future-proof with a higher color reproduction rate.
The UH9500 employs LG’s new design concept with ultra-thin 6.6mm screen depth and near invisible bezels.
LG will also take the wraps off its first production-ready 98-inch 8K SUPER UHD TV with plans to begin shipping in the second half of 2016.
