The most innovative technology in TV

In contrast to LED TV technology that uses backlights, LG OLED screens pack SELF-LIT pixels which means they work independently to emit their own light. This allows for perfect black levels, outstanding colours, infinite contrasts and the sharpest details which ultimately uncover all the details in darker scenes.

The most innovative TV experience

The powerful α7 Gen3 Intelligent Processor delivers a spectacular viewing and sound experience by enhancing picture and sound sources. From whatever source, and optimize it for your viewing pleasure.

TV takes a leap forward

Transform your TV into a central hub with the intelligent ThinQ AI. LG ThinQ allows simple command and control your Home IoT ecosystem with natural voice recognition. Also, with the Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa built-in, LG OLED TV makes life so much more convenient.

Enjoy professionally mastered visual and sound

Watch movies the way they should be – absolutely breathtaking. With Dolby Vision IQ, screen brightness, colour, and contrast are intelligently adjusted for content and lighting conditions. Dolby Atmos delivers three-dimensional immersive sound to make you feel as if you are right there inside the action.

Watch films as the director intended

In addition to deep blacks, LG OLED TVs now feature the all-new FILMMAKER MODEâ„¢. This mode disables effects like motion smoothing, image sharpening and preserves the original vision of the director. It's easily activated through the TV menu, or by using the LG smart remote in-built voice control. We are proud that leading directors support this feature.
