prior to the opening of the main show to have a sneak peek at some of the stuff
that they'll be showing off on the show floor. So, to my left, we've got their
new super UHD TVs, which is UHD, so 3840
by uh 2160 resolution, but now with
super. So, there's actually three lines within their LCD lineup of super UHD
TVs, and you get a variety of different features, better contrast, uh things
like high dynamic range depending on which tier you spring for. But this is
the real star of the show. So, it's part of LG's new signature series concept,
which is supposed to be the best of what they can do in terms of design as well
as performance. And while some of the other products in the Signature series
are stuff that we don't generally cover, like washing machines, this is
definitely right up our alley. So, this is the G6 series of OLED TVs, and it
builds on the previous generation flagship OLEDs from LG in a number of
key ways. So number one is that while
you can't improve on perfect black, that is to say the pixel being effectively
off whenever there's black displayed on the screen, you can improve the maximum
brightness. So it's still effectively infinite contrast, but this allows it to
achieve what LG is calling HDR Pro. So,
it's a level of high dynamic range image
quality that you can't achieve unless you've made the tweaks that they've made
to the pixels in the last year. They've actually dramatically improved the color
reproduction of them as well, making these TVs capable of 99% of the DCI
cinema color space, much like those LG monitors that we use to produce our
videos back at the studio, which is all fine and good. That covers the
performance part of the signature series, but I haven't talked anything
about the design, and it shouldn't come as any surprise that LG's come back this
year with bigger and yes, my friends,
the other big trend, thinner. So, this puppy right here is actually an
astonishing 2.7 mm thick across pretty much the entirety
of the back of the display. Okay. Yes, there is a little bump in the back for
some structural support as well as to attach to the bass which cleverly, by
the way, integrates a Harman Carden collaborated 4.280 W soundbar. But the
actual electronics have been moved outside of the TV. Something that I've
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
going to go, "Okay, well, we've run out of room for HDMI ports even. Let's just
take it completely outside of the box." And they have effectively done it. Not
only that, but the OLED panel is now mounted on a gorgeous piece of glass,
giving it a very premium look and feel. Not to say that I'm recommending that
you go and touch your TV all the time. It's just that the image looks so
unbelievable, even here in the suite, which is not necessarily ideal viewing
conditions, that you might actually be tempted to. So, thanks for checking out
our coverage of the LG suite here just kind of in advance of the rest of the
show at CES 2016. I want to take this time to give a huge shout out to
Squarespace for allowing us to be down here at the show. If you guys are
