00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:06,080
hey welcome to ces 2021 here in

2
00:00:03,360 --> 00:00:10,320
beautiful los Linus british columbia

3
00:00:08,240 --> 00:00:14,559
lg is sponsoring our coverage of their booth and we have a treat for you today

4
00:00:12,719 --> 00:00:18,480
every year we've seen incremental upgrades to their OLED tvs that have

5
00:00:16,560 --> 00:00:23,199
made them brighter and more color accurate with more features but lg's

6
00:00:20,880 --> 00:00:29,920
never had a big enough jump to outright call it second gen

7
00:00:25,600 --> 00:00:33,520
until today meet the 77 inch g1

8
00:00:29,920 --> 00:00:35,280
featuring their OLED evo 2 panel lg is

9
00:00:33,520 --> 00:00:39,280
calling this the second generation of their OLED technology for the first time

10
00:00:37,680 --> 00:00:43,840
since they started shipping oleds to consumers in the mid 2010s and the

11
00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:48,079
biggest jump in performance is that this generation is not just a little bit

12
00:00:46,079 --> 00:00:53,039
brighter this is in large part due to the new luminous elements for blue light

13
00:00:50,399 --> 00:00:56,960
which is the majority and for red which is kind of sprinkled in this means

14
00:00:55,120 --> 00:01:00,960
second gen oleds can produce more precise colors in the first place

15
00:00:58,879 --> 00:01:05,280
resulting in less brightness loss when that light passes through the next layer

16
00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:10,080
which is the color filtering layer they also added some green similar to how

17
00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:12,799
they have a bit of red but i'm not sure if we're allowed to say that or not

18
00:01:11,439 --> 00:01:16,080
let's have a let's have a look at the stand shall we

19
00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:21,200
well this is their g series

20
00:01:18,479 --> 00:01:26,000
so there is no stand now you can get an optional gallery stand it's kind of like

21
00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:31,360
uh looks kind of like a light stand but way classier but this one is intended to

22
00:01:28,960 --> 00:01:36,000
either be mounted right against the wall like we did with my g10 in my living

23
00:01:33,439 --> 00:01:40,159
room or you can actually do a whole thing where you like cut out part of the

24
00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:45,280
wall and like embed it straight flat into the wall so this is the new concept

25
00:01:42,960 --> 00:01:48,960
that replaces their old wallpaper tv and honestly i think this is

26
00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:53,600
probably the better way to go it's like basically flat and you can do that in

27
00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:58,960
wall mount if you really want to if the g in g1 means gallery what exactly does

28
00:01:56,320 --> 00:02:04,320
the one mean okay so naming scheme we went from six to seven to eight to nine

29
00:02:01,439 --> 00:02:09,039
to ten and then now we're back at one which sounds like a stupendously

30
00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:12,959
confusing xbox-like branding move but actually makes a great deal of sense at

31
00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:17,599
least for the next few years it's the 2021

32
00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:22,080
model year as for the letters well we can't fault lg for consistency here just

33
00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:25,760
like before the deeper into the alphabet you go the higher end it is so kind of

34
00:02:24,319 --> 00:02:31,200
like the opposite of your marks in school so z is the absolute top of the

35
00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:36,080
line g is your next gen OLED panel with the fancy wall mount c is your general

36
00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:40,879
consumer model with pretty much everything you need and while b used to

37
00:02:38,879 --> 00:02:46,400
be the entry-level bang for the buck skew and it still looks like a great

38
00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:49,120
value now there's an a series a ones

39
00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:55,760
will be 60 hertz rather than 120 hertz and they will use HDMI 2.0 rather than

40
00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:58,000
HDMI 2.1 yep that's black all right

41
00:02:55,760 --> 00:03:01,360
just taking a moment to enjoy some lg demo videos since there's nothing else

42
00:02:59,599 --> 00:03:06,560
that we have the proper license for for this but they're definitely uh definitely

43
00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:10,239
designed to get the most out of your OLED tv

44
00:03:07,920 --> 00:03:16,959
oh man there's nothing quite like it is there enough theoreticals let's fire up

45
00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:19,760
our xbox series x can i stop pretending that this microphone is connected to

46
00:03:18,239 --> 00:03:25,280
anything new for 2021 series oleds is lg's alpha

47
00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:29,360
9 gen 4 processor some of these features will be familiar but there's some new

48
00:03:26,959 --> 00:03:34,480
ones as well so it's got ai upscaling object enhancement clearer text that's

49
00:03:31,519 --> 00:03:40,720
for subtitles auto genre selection scene detection and this is pretty cool

50
00:03:37,239 --> 00:03:42,239
5.2.1 channel up mixing as well as auto

51
00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:45,599
volume leveling which is supposed to make it less jarring when you switch

52
00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:51,040
between sources that are configured at different volumes like going from an ad

53
00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:52,720
on your set-top box to netflix or

54
00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:57,439
youtube or something like that to be clear it's not intended to level out the

55
00:03:55,120 --> 00:04:01,680
dialogue and the action scenes in your movie or anything like that but that

56
00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:06,560
does sound like a useful feature it's also got picture optimization by game

57
00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:10,959
genre for gamers so we're in standard mode right now which just turns off any

58
00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:15,280
non-game enhancements and features so that's applied to all game genres but it

59
00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:20,000
also has an FPS mode which improves low level brightness rpg mode which

60
00:04:17,199 --> 00:04:24,639
emphasizes contrast and an rts mode which emphasizes clarity as well as

61
00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:28,639
having mid to high level brightness what is this what is this character doing no

62
00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:32,479
you're done no you're done you need to get you're a menace you're you're dennis

63
00:04:30,479 --> 00:04:36,400
the menace get off get off the road stop it sorry but what we're talking about

64
00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:39,919
they've also got a new personalized home with like my viewing history based

65
00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:44,800
content and like your favorite sports teams and stuff like that and

66
00:04:41,759 --> 00:04:47,120
the new magic remote design has nfc so

67
00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:51,759
you can quickly and easily pair it with oh lordy that was a good throw thank you

68
00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:56,160
with your phone which sounds like a really stupid gimmick until you go oh

69
00:04:54,639 --> 00:05:00,639
well what can you do with it well you can screen mirror between your phone and

70
00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:05,199
your tv you can reverse mirror so you can take whatever's on your tv with you

71
00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:10,160
to the bathroom during a you know well bathroom break you can cast you can

72
00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:13,039
route audio through your phone and connect headphones to your phone while

73
00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:17,440
you're sitting on the couch if you're into that like it actually does all

74
00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:22,160
kinds of cool stuff that of course we haven't tried yet because this is just

75
00:05:19,840 --> 00:05:26,160
