LG is set for a whopping 2024, with a robust range of 35 new OLED TV models set to launch in the coming weeks, and throughout the year. During a preview event, GamesHub was able to get eyes-on with these new models, and with a massive array of options, it’s fair to say there’s a new LG TV for anyone looking to upgrade.
As announced, there are new, bigger sizes in the range this year – a QNED TV that comes in 98-inch format, and an OLED M model that comes in 97-inches. In person, both are absolutely staggering. They’re bright, vivid, crisp, high contrast, and most importantly, BIG. These TVs aren’t for your average apartment owner, sadly, but for those with ample space and a voluminous living room, the new models will likely be a major boon for entertainment immersion.
Per LG, the 2024 QNED range is supported by AI-powered Alpha 8 processors for sharper image, as well as overall improvements to the webOS operating system, and LG’s Quantum Dot and NanoCell colour tech. The QNED91 MiniLED model is also supported by Million Grey Scale, which is designed to differentiate between shades of grey “representing gradation with a 20-bit accuracy.”
One of the standouts for the more accessible portion of LG’s latest TV range is the new OLED evo G4, which was eye-catching on the show floor for its crispness and colour. While all of LG’s OLED TVs shine in their own right, the G4 was mightily impressive, and delivered incredibly vivid picture.
This year, LG has a range of OLEDs in evo and non-evo specifications available. The OLED evo models are supported by an Alpha 11 AI processor, and integration of AI features that allow for easier picture customisation via settings. New ‘Brightness Booster’ technology also allows for better clarity and brightness, compared to prior OLED models.
The 2024 OLED M4 and G4 models have the additional capacity to support four-way split-screen, so viewers can watch multiple sources at once.
It’s also worth nothing that LG has recently improved its webOS systems, to the point where they are now fully upgradeable. Every 2024 TV model will now get system updates for up to five years, to ensure TVs are “future-proofed.” Models from 2022 onwards will also get this treatment, in an effort to improve the longevity of TVs.
Beyond these flagship models, LG has also introduced a refresh for its lifestyle-oriented StanbyME screen, which will now come in a new variant known as the StanbyME Go. This is essentially a TV in a suitcase which can be packed up and taken with you on your travels. It works best while attached to power, but also has a built-in battery said to last around 3-4 hours off-charge.
Of the lineup, I can see the StanbyME Go making a solid impact, purely for its novelty. In practice, it packs up and folds down very easily, its screen is very sturdy, and it displays crisp colour (even if it lacks the pizzazz of the full-scale OLEDs). That said, there’s plenty of options in LG’s newly-announced range, all of which are worth considering.
