00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:06,040
Linus Tech tips coverage of CES 2015 is brought to you by Phantom glass visit

2
00:00:04,400 --> 00:00:11,200
store. phantom.in screen protectors out there

3
00:00:08,360 --> 00:00:15,679
as well as hyperx LG's big push at the show for TVs this year is 4K OLED so

4
00:00:14,080 --> 00:00:21,240
they've got a really cool demo behind me that really I I think explains some of

5
00:00:19,039 --> 00:00:25,599
the advantages of OLED very visually so on your left you've got a traditional

6
00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:29,519
LED back lit LCD so you've got the actual back panel you've got a diffuser

7
00:00:27,279 --> 00:00:32,119
sheet for the back lighting so that it you don't just have like bright spots in

8
00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:35,480
the middle of the panel you know you ever heard a backlight bleed well that's

9
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:40,760
the kind of thing that is inherent with a a backlit design that then has a panel

10
00:00:38,600 --> 00:00:44,200
in front of it that has to turn the pixels black in order to try to block as

11
00:00:42,680 --> 00:00:48,559
much light as they can to produce black well you can never reach black that way

12
00:00:46,399 --> 00:00:54,199
with an OLED panel the one that I have here on my left well all there is is the

13
00:00:51,160 --> 00:00:56,239
back cover of the TV and the OLED panel

14
00:00:54,199 --> 00:01:01,800
because it emits its own light and each pixel can be turned off individually for

15
00:00:59,039 --> 00:01:04,879
effectively black or infinite contrast but of course they don't expect you to

16
00:01:03,079 --> 00:01:11,880
take their word for it behind me is the OLED experience room where they've got

17
00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:13,960
their own LED back lit LCD TV with

18
00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:17,920
localized dimming which is a way that LCDs can try to achieve better black

19
00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:22,119
levels at least in certain parts of the screen where the image is darker for

20
00:01:19,960 --> 00:01:25,240
better effective contrast a kind of like a a voodoo trick that I've never

21
00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:31,119
personally really liked and I usually turn off and then they've got that next

22
00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:32,880
to an OLED TV where this uh the the

23
00:01:31,119 --> 00:01:37,680
imagery they have of this sweet little piece of motorcycle art demonstrates

24
00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:42,840
extremely well how the black parts of the image really are black instead of

25
00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:46,840
that gray that you've come to expect from anything that is not able to

26
00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:51,920
individually turn off the pixels but OLED's about more than just improved

27
00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:55,880
black levels and you know vibrant colors and all that kind of stuff through the

28
00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:59,640
use of well what is effectively a simpler physically overall design

29
00:01:58,399 --> 00:02:06,320
they're able to do some really cool stuff stuff like this now this isn't the first time we've seen LG show off a TV

30
00:02:03,759 --> 00:02:10,520
that's actually flexible and with the push of a button can be changed from

31
00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:14,440
Flat to curved but this is the first time that they're showing us something

32
00:02:11,959 --> 00:02:18,959
that is going to be a product this year now there's no model number yet there's

33
00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:23,959
no price or anything like that but they're telling us that this 77in OLED

34
00:02:21,319 --> 00:02:28,920
TV that can be adjusted from all the way flat to actually quite curved is going

35
00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:33,760
to be available this year as part of their 99 100 series looks freaking

36
00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:38,760
amazing in person and I mean this addresses one of the issues that I have with curved TVs in general in that

37
00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:44,760
you're stuck in this situation where you've got a sweet spot or you've got

38
00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:48,720
distorted sort of a distorted view of the TV well now depending how far away

39
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:52,200
your couch is how many people need to be in The Sweet Spot you can actually

40
00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:55,640
adjust it by adjusting the curve that's not going to be cheap though so that's

41
00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:59,360
cool TVs that we don't know how much they cost and they have like Space Age

42
00:02:57,879 --> 00:03:03,799
Technology in them but what are people actually more likely to be buying this

43
00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:07,319
year for a 4K TV probably one of the flat IPS models that are going to be a

44
00:03:05,920 --> 00:03:11,799
lot more affordable and are still coming with some new Innovations so first of

45
00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:15,360
all with color Prime LG is upping the ante in terms of color reproduction

46
00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:20,680
they're also improving contrast they're adding 4K upscaling as well as improving

47
00:03:18,239 --> 00:03:23,280
viewing angles with their IPS technology which if you guys have been following

48
00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:27,400
our channel for any period of time you're probably familiar with how much

49
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:31,120
we love IPS but I've got Kevin here to tell me what they're doing on the

50
00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:34,680
software side to make their Smart TVs a little bit more smart yeah we're really

51
00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:38,080
really proud of our Weber West platform we launched it last year actually Cs and

52
00:03:36,319 --> 00:03:41,720
you remember seeing it since then we've launched and sold over 5 million webos

53
00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:47,319
sets globally so we're really excited about the success this year we're bringing web OS 2.0 and what that brings

54
00:03:45,239 --> 00:03:51,200
is enhan speed we're adding multi-core processing to actually speed up the

55
00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:54,040
startup time and switching Time by 50% we're also keeping that easy to ous

56
00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:57,799
interface that customers have known to love well there you go easier and faster

57
00:03:56,760 --> 00:04:03,480
I guess it doesn't really get much better than that does it that's it but but as much fun as it is to look at what

58
00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:07,720
you can buy today or even later on this year Well CES wouldn't be the same

59
00:04:05,519 --> 00:04:12,159
without the stuff that there is no model number no model name no estimated

60
00:04:09,519 --> 00:04:15,840
release time no nothing you got to you got to look at that stuff too so this is

61
00:04:14,239 --> 00:04:20,759
what they're calling the world's first 98 in 8k color Prime Ultra HD TV you can

62
00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:27,759
see how interesting it is to people even if we're filming they're like getting in there with their cameras and all that so

63
00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:30,639
this is essentially a 98 in TV that runs

64
00:04:27,759 --> 00:04:36,000
at 16 times the pi pix count of 1080p four times the pixel count of 4K has no

65
00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:40,120
consumer interface that exists that would be able to drive this kind of

66
00:04:37,639 --> 00:04:43,800
resolution but it's just here for the sheer wow factor of it all we're going

67
00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:48,680
to get our camera as close as they're going to allow us to they don't let us pass the uh the little barricade here

68
00:04:47,639 --> 00:04:52,880
and we're going to show you guys how fine that image is but basically this

69
00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:57,680
would almost be usable from like monitor viewing distances as opposed to TV

70
00:04:55,320 --> 00:05:01,160
viewing distances speaking of viewing distances if you're looking at your

71
00:04:59,199 --> 00:05:05,520
phone ever and you want it to not get scratched up and still be you know super

72
00:05:03,639 --> 00:05:09,280
crystal clear and have a nice satisfying feel you might want to check out store.

73
00:05:07,280 --> 00:05:12,520
Phantom dog glass Phantom glass is powering us here at the show they make

74
00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:16,160
the best darn screen protectors out there they go on bubble free and they're

75
00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:20,280
super durable made of Gorilla Glass also want to give a shout out to hyperx those

76
