Thank you to Dbrand for making CES 2017 possible for us this year. Check them
0:03
out in the link below. This is the most beautiful TV I have ever seen, but not
0:09
just because of the 4K HDR display and somehow higher brightness and wider
0:13
color gamut than before with 25% higher peak brightness in certain situations
0:18
and 99% DCIP3 color standard. My
0:22
favorite feature is what LG is calling picture on wall or wallpaper display.
0:27
This LG signature OLED TVW is only 2.57
0:32
millimeters in depth, and it is mounted on the wall using a steel plate and
0:36
magnets. To accomplish this, they've moved the brains and the processing
0:40
power into their 4.2 channel Dolby Atmos powered soundbar, which features four
0:44
HDMI ports on the back along with three USB ports, optical in, Ethernet, and
0:50
RS232 for control. Another great feature
0:53
of the soundbar that's outside of the awesomeness of the speakers or the
0:57
subtle ribbon cable that can either run up the wall behind your TV or be managed
1:01
behind the wall is just how nice it is when you turn it on or turn it off.
1:06
There's these two top speakers on the outside and they will either lower into
1:09
the unit and then be closed off for what I'm assuming is dust protection or when
1:13
you turn it on they will raise up out of the unit while it plays these pleasant
1:17
tones. So the panel looks amazing. 4K,
1:20
HDR, Dolby Vision, all that great stuff. The soundbar sounds fantastic. 4.2
1:25
channel, Dolby audio. But none of this stuff can be translated very well
1:29
through YouTube or basically any other online media distribution platform. You
1:34
need to experience it in person. So hopefully, looking around at LG here,
1:39
hopefully we will get one in office because I know Lionus has probably been
1:43
chomping at the bit to actually see this and I beat him to it and I'd like to
1:46
check it out with some gaming titles on it. There are two versions of this TV. A
1:50
77 inch that will be available in the second half of this year and this guy, a
1:54
65 in that will be available in early March at
1:59
$7,999.98 which you'll be able to find at some select Best Buy locations.

Again, thanks to Dbrand for bringing us to CES 2017 this year. If you want to
2:07
see their stuff, check out the link down below or look right here because I have
2:10
a Dbrand skin on my phone. We also all have Dbrand skins on our laptops. I went
2:14
with a purple and black theme with mine because it's Razer, so it's purple,
2:18
black, and green. It kind of looks like the Joker, but whatever. You can configure whatever you want through
2:22
their configurator and make your device look unique to you. So again, check them
2:27
out in the link below, and I'll see you guys next time.
