00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:06.080
hey welcome to ces 2021 here in

00:00:03.360 --> 00:00:10.320
beautiful los Linus british columbia

00:00:08.240 --> 00:00:14.559
lg is sponsoring our coverage of their booth and we have a treat for you today

00:00:12.719 --> 00:00:18.480
every year we've seen incremental upgrades to their OLED tvs that have

00:00:16.560 --> 00:00:23.199
made them brighter and more color accurate with more features but lg's

00:00:20.880 --> 00:00:29.920
never had a big enough jump to outright call it second gen

00:00:25.600 --> 00:00:33.520
until today meet the 77 inch g1

00:00:29.920 --> 00:00:35.280
featuring their OLED evo 2 panel lg is

00:00:33.520 --> 00:00:39.280
calling this the second generation of their OLED technology for the first time

00:00:37.680 --> 00:00:43.840
since they started shipping oleds to consumers in the mid 2010s and the

00:00:41.840 --> 00:00:48.079
biggest jump in performance is that this generation is not just a little bit

00:00:46.079 --> 00:00:53.039
brighter this is in large part due to the new luminous elements for blue light

00:00:50.399 --> 00:00:56.960
which is the majority and for red which is kind of sprinkled in this means

00:00:55.120 --> 00:01:00.960
second gen oleds can produce more precise colors in the first place

00:00:58.879 --> 00:01:05.280
resulting in less brightness loss when that light passes through the next layer

00:01:03.120 --> 00:01:10.080
which is the color filtering layer they also added some green similar to how

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

00:01:11.439 --> 00:01:16.080
let's have a let's have a look at the stand shall we

00:01:15.280 --> 00:01:21.200
well this is their g series

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

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

00:01:28.960 --> 00:01:36.000
either be mounted right against the wall like we did with my g10 in my living

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

00:01:37.920 --> 00:01:45.280
wall and like embed it straight flat into the wall so this is the new concept

00:01:42.960 --> 00:01:48.960
that replaces their old wallpaper tv and honestly i think this is

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

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

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

00:02:01.439 --> 00:02:09.039
to ten and then now we're back at one which sounds like a stupendously

00:02:06.240 --> 00:02:12.959
confusing xbox-like branding move but actually makes a great deal of sense at

00:02:11.280 --> 00:02:17.599
least for the next few years it's the 2021

00:02:15.280 --> 00:02:22.080
model year as for the letters well we can't fault lg for consistency here just

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

00:02:24.319 --> 00:02:31.200
like the opposite of your marks in school so z is the absolute top of the

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

00:02:34.480 --> 00:02:40.879
consumer model with pretty much everything you need and while b used to

00:02:38.879 --> 00:02:46.400
be the entry-level bang for the buck skew and it still looks like a great

00:02:43.040 --> 00:02:49.120
value now there's an a series a ones

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

00:02:51.760 --> 00:02:58.000
HDMI 2.1 yep that's black all right

00:02:55.760 --> 00:03:01.360
just taking a moment to enjoy some lg demo videos since there's nothing else

00:02:59.599 --> 00:03:06.560
that we have the proper license for for this but they're definitely uh definitely

00:03:04.560 --> 00:03:10.239
designed to get the most out of your OLED tv

00:03:07.920 --> 00:03:16.959
oh man there's nothing quite like it is there enough theoreticals let's fire up

00:03:14.080 --> 00:03:19.760
our xbox series x can i stop pretending that this microphone is connected to

00:03:18.239 --> 00:03:25.280
anything new for 2021 series oleds is lg's alpha

00:03:22.720 --> 00:03:29.360
9 gen 4 processor some of these features will be familiar but there's some new

00:03:26.959 --> 00:03:34.480
ones as well so it's got ai upscaling object enhancement clearer text that's

00:03:31.519 --> 00:03:40.720
for subtitles auto genre selection scene detection and this is pretty cool

00:03:37.239 --> 00:03:42.239
5.2.1 channel up mixing as well as auto

00:03:40.720 --> 00:03:45.599
volume leveling which is supposed to make it less jarring when you switch

00:03:43.760 --> 00:03:51.040
between sources that are configured at different volumes like going from an ad

00:03:47.920 --> 00:03:52.720
on your set-top box to netflix or

00:03:51.040 --> 00:03:57.439
youtube or something like that to be clear it's not intended to level out the

00:03:55.120 --> 00:04:01.680
dialogue and the action scenes in your movie or anything like that but that

00:03:59.760 --> 00:04:06.560
does sound like a useful feature it's also got picture optimization by game

00:04:04.080 --> 00:04:10.959
genre for gamers so we're in standard mode right now which just turns off any

00:04:09.040 --> 00:04:15.280
non-game enhancements and features so that's applied to all game genres but it

00:04:13.200 --> 00:04:20.000
also has an FPS mode which improves low level brightness rpg mode which

00:04:17.199 --> 00:04:24.639
emphasizes contrast and an rts mode which emphasizes clarity as well as

00:04:22.560 --> 00:04:28.639
having mid to high level brightness what is this what is this character doing no

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

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

00:04:34.400 --> 00:04:39.919
they've also got a new personalized home with like my viewing history based

00:04:38.320 --> 00:04:44.800
content and like your favorite sports teams and stuff like that and

00:04:41.759 --> 00:04:47.120
the new magic remote design has nfc so

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

00:04:49.360 --> 00:04:56.160
with your phone which sounds like a really stupid gimmick until you go oh

00:04:54.639 --> 00:05:00.639
well what can you do with it well you can screen mirror between your phone and

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

00:05:02.560 --> 00:05:10.160
to the bathroom during a you know well bathroom break you can cast you can

00:05:08.400 --> 00:05:13.039
route audio through your phone and connect headphones to your phone while

00:05:11.440 --> 00:05:17.440
you're sitting on the couch if you're into that like it actually does all

00:05:15.440 --> 00:05:22.160
kinds of cool stuff that of course we haven't tried yet because this is just

00:05:19.840 --> 00:05:26.160
ces coverage and this is not even a final product yet so we're hoping to

00:05:24.160 --> 00:05:31.840
bring you the full coverage later on in the year once pricing and availability

00:05:28.320 --> 00:05:33.360
and all that stuff is out subscribe so

00:05:31.840 --> 00:05:36.560
thank you to lg for sponsoring this video thank you to you for watching it
