WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:06.040 Linus Tech tips coverage of CES 2015 is brought to you by Phantom glass visit 00:00:04.400 --> 00:00:11.200 store. phantom.in screen protectors out there 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 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 00:00:19.039 --> 00:00:25.599 the advantages of OLED very visually so on your left you've got a traditional 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 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 00:00:31.000 --> 00:00:35.480 the middle of the panel you know you ever heard a backlight bleed well that's 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 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 00:00:42.680 --> 00:00:48.559 much light as they can to produce black well you can never reach black that way 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 00:00:51.160 --> 00:00:56.239 back cover of the TV and the OLED panel 00:00:54.199 --> 00:01:01.800 because it emits its own light and each pixel can be turned off individually for 00:00:59.039 --> 00:01:04.879 effectively black or infinite contrast but of course they don't expect you to 00:01:03.079 --> 00:01:11.880 take their word for it behind me is the OLED experience room where they've got 00:01:06.920 --> 00:01:13.960 their own LED back lit LCD TV with 00:01:11.880 --> 00:01:17.920 localized dimming which is a way that LCDs can try to achieve better black 00:01:16.040 --> 00:01:22.119 levels at least in certain parts of the screen where the image is darker for 00:01:19.960 --> 00:01:25.240 better effective contrast a kind of like a a voodoo trick that I've never 00:01:23.640 --> 00:01:31.119 personally really liked and I usually turn off and then they've got that next 00:01:27.600 --> 00:01:32.880 to an OLED TV where this uh the the 00:01:31.119 --> 00:01:37.680 imagery they have of this sweet little piece of motorcycle art demonstrates 00:01:35.520 --> 00:01:42.840 extremely well how the black parts of the image really are black instead of 00:01:40.280 --> 00:01:46.840 that gray that you've come to expect from anything that is not able to 00:01:44.640 --> 00:01:51.920 individually turn off the pixels but OLED's about more than just improved 00:01:49.280 --> 00:01:55.880 black levels and you know vibrant colors and all that kind of stuff through the 00:01:53.920 --> 00:01:59.640 use of well what is effectively a simpler physically overall design 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 00:02:03.759 --> 00:02:10.520 that's actually flexible and with the push of a button can be changed from 00:02:07.960 --> 00:02:14.440 Flat to curved but this is the first time that they're showing us something 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 00:02:16.720 --> 00:02:23.959 no price or anything like that but they're telling us that this 77in OLED 00:02:21.319 --> 00:02:28.920 TV that can be adjusted from all the way flat to actually quite curved is going 00:02:26.560 --> 00:02:33.760 to be available this year as part of their 99 100 series looks freaking 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 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 00:02:42.760 --> 00:02:48.720 distorted sort of a distorted view of the TV well now depending how far away 00:02:47.000 --> 00:02:52.200 your couch is how many people need to be in The Sweet Spot you can actually 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 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 00:02:57.879 --> 00:03:03.799 Technology in them but what are people actually more likely to be buying this 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 00:03:05.920 --> 00:03:11.799 lot more affordable and are still coming with some new Innovations so first of 00:03:09.480 --> 00:03:15.360 all with color Prime LG is upping the ante in terms of color reproduction 00:03:13.680 --> 00:03:20.680 they're also improving contrast they're adding 4K upscaling as well as improving 00:03:18.239 --> 00:03:23.280 viewing angles with their IPS technology which if you guys have been following 00:03:21.680 --> 00:03:27.400 our channel for any period of time you're probably familiar with how much 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 00:03:28.480 --> 00:03:34.680 software side to make their Smart TVs a little bit more smart yeah we're really 00:03:33.120 --> 00:03:38.080 really proud of our Weber West platform we launched it last year actually Cs and 00:03:36.319 --> 00:03:41.720 you remember seeing it since then we've launched and sold over 5 million webos 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 00:03:45.239 --> 00:03:51.200 is enhan speed we're adding multi-core processing to actually speed up the 00:03:49.080 --> 00:03:54.040 startup time and switching Time by 50% we're also keeping that easy to ous 00:03:52.720 --> 00:03:57.799 interface that customers have known to love well there you go easier and faster 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 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 00:04:05.519 --> 00:04:12.159 without the stuff that there is no model number no model name no estimated 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 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 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 00:04:23.880 --> 00:04:30.639 this is essentially a 98 in TV that runs 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 00:04:33.720 --> 00:04:40.120 consumer interface that exists that would be able to drive this kind of 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 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 00:04:47.639 --> 00:04:52.880 and we're going to show you guys how fine that image is but basically this 00:04:50.680 --> 00:04:57.680 would almost be usable from like monitor viewing distances as opposed to TV 00:04:55.320 --> 00:05:01.160 viewing distances speaking of viewing distances if you're looking at your 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 00:05:03.639 --> 00:05:09.280 crystal clear and have a nice satisfying feel you might want to check out store. 00:05:07.280 --> 00:05:12.520 Phantom dog glass Phantom glass is powering us here at the show they make 00:05:11.120 --> 00:05:16.160 the
