Thank you to Squarespace for sending us the CES 2016 this year. Check out their

4
00:00:11,440 --> 00:00:17,039
prior to the opening of the main show to have a sneak peek at some of the stuff

5
00:00:15,360 --> 00:00:25,119
that they'll be showing off on the show floor. So, to my left, we've got their

6
00:00:19,840 --> 00:00:28,320
new super UHD TVs, which is UHD, so 3840

7
00:00:25,119 --> 00:00:30,240
by uh 2160 resolution, but now with

8
00:00:28,320 --> 00:00:35,280
super. So, there's actually three lines within their LCD lineup of super UHD

9
00:00:33,360 --> 00:00:39,440
TVs, and you get a variety of different features, better contrast, uh things

10
00:00:37,360 --> 00:00:45,040
like high dynamic range depending on which tier you spring for. But this is

11
00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:50,800
the real star of the show. So, it's part of LG's new signature series concept,

12
00:00:48,399 --> 00:00:55,199
which is supposed to be the best of what they can do in terms of design as well

13
00:00:53,199 --> 00:00:59,120
as performance. And while some of the other products in the Signature series

14
00:00:56,719 --> 00:01:04,400
are stuff that we don't generally cover, like washing machines, this is

15
00:01:01,760 --> 00:01:09,520
definitely right up our alley. So, this is the G6 series of OLED TVs, and it

16
00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:15,040
builds on the previous generation flagship OLEDs from LG in a number of

17
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:17,840
key ways. So number one is that while

18
00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:21,920
you can't improve on perfect black, that is to say the pixel being effectively

19
00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:27,119
off whenever there's black displayed on the screen, you can improve the maximum

20
00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:35,600
brightness. So it's still effectively infinite contrast, but this allows it to

21
00:01:30,960 --> 00:01:38,720
achieve what LG is calling HDR Pro. So,

22
00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:41,040
it's a level of high dynamic range image

23
00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:44,960
quality that you can't achieve unless you've made the tweaks that they've made

24
00:01:42,320 --> 00:01:48,960
to the pixels in the last year. They've actually dramatically improved the color

25
00:01:46,799 --> 00:01:56,159
reproduction of them as well, making these TVs capable of 99% of the DCI

26
00:01:53,200 --> 00:02:00,479
cinema color space, much like those LG monitors that we use to produce our

27
00:01:57,840 --> 00:02:04,159
videos back at the studio, which is all fine and good. That covers the

28
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:08,000
performance part of the signature series, but I haven't talked anything

29
00:02:06,479 --> 00:02:14,160
about the design, and it shouldn't come as any surprise that LG's come back this

30
00:02:10,640 --> 00:02:16,720
year with bigger and yes, my friends,

31
00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:21,200
the other big trend, thinner. So, this puppy right here is actually an

32
00:02:18,640 --> 00:02:28,640
astonishing 2.7 mm thick across pretty much the entirety

33
00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:32,800
of the back of the display. Okay. Yes, there is a little bump in the back for

34
00:02:30,879 --> 00:02:37,040
some structural support as well as to attach to the bass which cleverly, by

35
00:02:34,959 --> 00:02:43,040
the way, integrates a Harman Carden collaborated 4.280 W soundbar. But the

36
00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:46,640
actual electronics have been moved outside of the TV. Something that I've

37
00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:50,239
been I've been saying someone's going to do this eventually. They're going to have to build a thinner TV and they're

38
00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:54,400
going to go, "Okay, well, we've run out of room for HDMI ports even. Let's just

39
00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:58,000
take it completely outside of the box." And they have effectively done it. Not

40
00:02:56,239 --> 00:03:03,599
only that, but the OLED panel is now mounted on a gorgeous piece of glass,

41
00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:07,360
giving it a very premium look and feel. Not to say that I'm recommending that

42
00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:11,040
you go and touch your TV all the time. It's just that the image looks so

43
00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:15,200
unbelievable, even here in the suite, which is not necessarily ideal viewing

44
00:03:12,879 --> 00:03:20,319
conditions, that you might actually be tempted to. So, thanks for checking out

45
00:03:17,519 --> 00:03:24,720
our coverage of the LG suite here just kind of in advance of the rest of the

46
00:03:22,159 --> 00:03:27,760
show at CES 2016. I want to take this time to give a huge shout out to

49
00:03:32,959 --> 00:03:39,599
