Our best OLED ever.

LG OLED evo sets a new standard for display. The next-generation OLED panel, combined with the computational power of the Alpha 9 Gen 4 processor, takes your viewing experience to another level. The redesigned panel includes an extra layer and a more emissive material. These optimize the structure and refine the wavelengths to increase the efficiency of light while the Alpha 9 Gen 4 processor uniquely tunes the picture on the new panel to enhance everything you watch. The result is a brighter, sharper image and the ultimate viewing experience.

What makes OLED unlike anything else?

The answer is self-lit pixels. A self-luminous display technology that makes all the difference to your viewing experience. Unlike LED/LCD TVs that are restricted by backlight technology, LG OLED TVs are capable of extreme realism and thin designs.

SELF-LIT PiXELS. Millions of reasons to love OLED.

When it comes to picture quality, OLED beats LED hands down. That's because OLED has millions of self-lit pixels capable of producing perfect black and accurate color. The result is a viewing experience like no other.

OLED puts LED in the shade.

Put simply, OLED has millions of self-lit pixels that can turn on and off to achieve infinite contrast. It doesn't matter how many thousands of backlights they have, LED TVs will still be in OLED's shadow.

Game Optimizer

Game Optimizer puts all your game settings in one place. You can also toggle between G-Sync and FreeSync technologies for a smooth gaming experience.

The Latest Gaming Specs

LG OLED TVs are capable of a 1ms response time, while support for VRR, ALLM, and eARC meets the latest HDMI 2.1 specifications. These features allow fast-moving content in higher resolution and smooth, synchronized graphics, giving you a more lifelike experience and a better chance of winning.

Connecting LG Bluetooth speakers for wireless surround sound has never been easier. Connect up to two speakers, including LG XBOOM Speakers, for a true surround sound experience – not a wire in sight.

Brains that will blow your mind.

At the core of every LG 4K OLED TV is the α9 Gen4 AI Processor 4K*, a groundbreaking chip that uses deep-learning algorithms to analyze and optimize content. Every adjustment to picture and sound is automatic, so everything you watch is spectacular.

AI Picture Pro

Using a vast database of visual data points, the deep-learning algorithm recognizes content, removes noise, and optimizes picture quality. And the new Scene Detection feature can now analyze the type of scene being shown and improve the picture accordingly.

AI Sound Pro

By learning from audio data points, the processor identifies voices, effects, and frequencies so it can then optimize the sound by genre for a more immersive experience. And the new Auto Volume Leveling feature maintains consistent voice levels across different types of content.

Entertainment access, now even easier

The newly designed home screen shows personalized content suggestions, gives you easier access to favorites, and lets you control connected devices all in one place.

Magic Remote

The redesigned Magic Remote is more like a magic wand. The ergonomic design is easy to hold, and its point and scroll system allows faster searching. Built-in AI provides easy access to services, while hotkeys for major content providers give you shortcuts to all your favorites. In addition to all that you now have Magic Tap, a clever new trick that connects your phone to your TV.

Magic Tap

You don't have to be a wizard to use Magic Tap. Just tap your LG phone on the remote to mirror streaming content to the TV. You can even cast content stored on your phone and use it to control the TV — this is only possible with LG Smart TVs. You can also reverse mirror content from the TV to your LG phone, and it will even play the audio through your device. It really is like magic.

Enhanced by LG Audio

LG OLED TVs work in perfect harmony with LG audio products. Once you pair an LG Sound Bar with your TV, you can use your TV's Magic Remote to control the sound bar's volume and sound modes*. You also get to enjoy the full potential of your TV's sound engine through the sound bar. If you have LG TONE Free earbuds**, pair them with your TV to search with your voice, control volume, and even change channel.
