00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:04.880
Thank you to Squarespace for sending us the CES 2016 this year. Check out their

00:00:03.679 --> 00:00:09.360
link in the description down below, which is squarespace.com/Linus

00:00:06.960 --> 00:00:13.599
and use offer code Linus for 10% off. So, we're here in an LG suite actually

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

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

00:00:19.840 --> 00:00:28.320
new super UHD TVs, which is UHD, so 3840

00:00:25.119 --> 00:00:30.240
by uh 2160 resolution, but now with

00:00:28.320 --> 00:00:35.280
super. So, there's actually three lines within their LCD lineup of super UHD

00:00:33.360 --> 00:00:39.440
TVs, and you get a variety of different features, better contrast, uh things

00:00:37.360 --> 00:00:45.040
like high dynamic range depending on which tier you spring for. But this is

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,

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

00:00:53.199 --> 00:00:59.120
as performance. And while some of the other products in the Signature series

00:00:56.719 --> 00:01:04.400
are stuff that we don't generally cover, like washing machines, this is

00:01:01.760 --> 00:01:09.520
definitely right up our alley. So, this is the G6 series of OLED TVs, and it

00:01:07.920 --> 00:01:15.040
builds on the previous generation flagship OLEDs from LG in a number of

00:01:12.000 --> 00:01:17.840
key ways. So number one is that while

00:01:15.040 --> 00:01:21.920
you can't improve on perfect black, that is to say the pixel being effectively

00:01:20.080 --> 00:01:27.119
off whenever there's black displayed on the screen, you can improve the maximum

00:01:24.720 --> 00:01:35.600
brightness. So it's still effectively infinite contrast, but this allows it to

00:01:30.960 --> 00:01:38.720
achieve what LG is calling HDR Pro. So,

00:01:35.600 --> 00:01:41.040
it's a level of high dynamic range image

00:01:38.720 --> 00:01:44.960
quality that you can't achieve unless you've made the tweaks that they've made

00:01:42.320 --> 00:01:48.960
to the pixels in the last year. They've actually dramatically improved the color

00:01:46.799 --> 00:01:56.159
reproduction of them as well, making these TVs capable of 99% of the DCI

00:01:53.200 --> 00:02:00.479
cinema color space, much like those LG monitors that we use to produce our

00:01:57.840 --> 00:02:04.159
videos back at the studio, which is all fine and good. That covers the

00:02:02.000 --> 00:02:08.000
performance part of the signature series, but I haven't talked anything

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

00:02:10.640 --> 00:02:16.720
year with bigger and yes, my friends,

00:02:14.160 --> 00:02:21.200
the other big trend, thinner. So, this puppy right here is actually an

00:02:18.640 --> 00:02:28.640
astonishing 2.7 mm thick across pretty much the entirety

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

00:02:30.879 --> 00:02:37.040
some structural support as well as to attach to the bass which cleverly, by

00:02:34.959 --> 00:02:43.040
the way, integrates a Harman Carden collaborated 4.280 W soundbar. But the

00:02:40.800 --> 00:02:46.640
actual electronics have been moved outside of the TV. Something that I've

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

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

00:02:52.560 --> 00:02:58.000
take it completely outside of the box." And they have effectively done it. Not

00:02:56.239 --> 00:03:03.599
only that, but the OLED panel is now mounted on a gorgeous piece of glass,

00:03:01.040 --> 00:03:07.360
giving it a very premium look and feel. Not to say that I'm recommending that

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

00:03:09.440 --> 00:03:15.200
unbelievable, even here in the suite, which is not necessarily ideal viewing

00:03:12.879 --> 00:03:20.319
conditions, that you might actually be tempted to. So, thanks for checking out

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

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

00:03:26.000 --> 00:03:31.280
