8 million pixels. One-in-a-million picture.

Pure colours are stunning in NanoCell TV's Real 4K. With around 8 million pixels, real 4K TV delivers picture that is noticeably sharper and more detailed than your standard HD TV. In NanoCell TV, Real 4K resolution is complemented with NanoCell technology for a 4K experience that surpasses your expectations.

Every colour crystal clear.

LG NanoCell TV utilises nanoparticles, our own distinctive Nano technology, to filter and refine colour, removing impurities from RGB wavelengths. This means that only pure, accurate colours will be displayed on screen. The result is a more vibrant, more realistic picture that will bring your content to life.

TV with more than one artistic side.

LG NanoCell TV is designed with home aesthetics in mind. With a sleek, minimalistic design it hangs tight to your wall like a work of art, adding a touch of beauty while maximising your space.

FILMMAKER MODEâ„¢ The director's vision brought to life.

FILMMAKER MODEâ„¢ turns off motion smoothing while preserving the original aspect ratios, colours, and frame rates. This accurately delivers the director's original vision, so you experience the film the way they intended.

HDR 10 Pro Get the full range of enjoyment.

LG's own dynamic range technology, HDR 10 Pro, adjusts brightness to enhance colour, reveal every tiny detail, and bring lifelike clarity to every image — it also intensifies regular HDR content. Now all your favourite movies and shows will be more vivid and vibrant from beginning to end.
