All You Can See With OLED

Of the many TVs shown at the Consumer Electronics show, one TV really stood out among the crowd. Or rather, it did not. The LG wallpaper TV’s redeeming quality is its size. We are not talking about its size across diagonally, but rather its width, being one of the thinnest TVs made ever, attracting a lot of attention at CES 2017. Only 3.85mm across, it is roughly three dimes thick, almost not enough to notice on your wall. In addition, it is very light, the sixty-five inch edition only being around eighteen pounds, and its seventy-seven inch companion coming in at twenty-seven pounds. Normal TV stands are also unnecessary for the Wallpaper TV due to an impressive mounting system designed by LG. Instead it is just attached to a wall, much like a poster, but with magnets and screws. As for connections, a thin cable runs from the TV to a station with speakers and ports for necessary use.
With many of the new technologies at CES, much of the exhibition consists of prototypes, and experimental builds to blow viewer’s minds. The 65 inch LG W7 Ultra-Thin OLED is on sale at this very moment, with many customers already enjoying the TV. The price is currently $8,000, being one of the most expensive TVs you can buy at this moment.
A common trend about TVs is that decreasing the width will also decrease the image quality, being that there is less space for diodes within the television. Though that is true for many LCD TVs, of which many people own, for the new OLED TVs, this is not the case at all. With a thin OLED television, the same quality can be achieved as a thicker LCD TV since it does not require a backlight to function. Instead of the backlight it uses an emissive electroluminescent screen, which responds to electricity being passed through it. In addition to the qualities of being thinner and also flexible, the LG wallpaper TV can achieve deeper black levels and higher contrast ratios than LCD TVs. To cap it all off, LG makes the best OLED TVs in the world, beating many other big names like Samsung and Sony.
Though many customers have already given good reviews for this TV, a point of concern for some is that it is missing a key feature: 3D compatibility. LG dismisses this, saying that 3D is not a key buying factor for customers, focusing rather on width and image quality other than 3D.
In conclusion, the LG wallpaper TV really is a remarkably light and thin television display, despite the incredibly “thin” chance anyone will want to dish out $8,000 for it.
