LG launches new OLED and Nanocell TVs in South Africa
LG recently launched its 2021 range of OLED and NanoCell TVs which will be available in South Africa.
The company noted that the new range of TVs is guaranteed to deliver an exceptional home entertainment experience. The comprehensive collection offers a wider range of screen sizes from the most compact 43 inches to a new-to-market 83 inches and a mesmerizing 88 inches so there’s a perfect LG TV for any size room or user needs.
"Of the entire LG 2021 TV lineup, the new NanoCell 8K and 4K TV offerings provide the greatest number of options with a large selection of 8K (models NANO99, NANO 95) and 4K range (models NANO90, NANO85, NANO80, NANO77, NANO75) units to choose from. All models feature LG NanoCell display technology, employing nanoparticles to filter out colour impurities, resulting in lifelike images that draw the viewer deeper into their favourite movies, sports and shows," said LG in a statement.
"Beyond superb picture quality, all of LG’s premium 2021 TVs offer an immersive home entertainment experience through compatibility with the latest standards and content formats, and brand-new features and functions that add differentiated value. With support for Dolby Vision IQ, Dolby Atmos®, HDR10 PRO and Filmmaker Mode™, this year’s TVs make the latest movies, TV series and documentaries come to life through picture and sound of the highest quality." .
The top-of-the-line option this year is the 88-inch 8K Z1 OLED TV, which comes with a recommended retail price of R549,999.
It boasts an a9 Gen4 AI processor with upscaling up to 8K, Dolby Vision IQ, Dolby Atmos, HDMI 2.1, and 120Hz refresh rate with variable refresh rate support.
There is also the G1 series, which features LG’s new OLED Evo technology.
These TVs boast the same high-contrast clarity as their predecessors but include a new luminous element that boosts overall brightness and colour range.
LG said an extra layer of stronger emissive material optimises the structure of the panel to refine the wavelengths of light.
As a result, OLED Evo produces more light per pixel, with better red and blue brightness and an added green element.
“The boosted brightness of the three colours combine to make the OLED evo brighter than any OLED before, offering punchier images and better HDR performance,” LG said.
The company also introduced the C1 OLED Series which will succeed the LG CX OLED TVs.
While it does not have the new layer of an emissive material, its new processor supports improved upscaling and Dolby Atmos, and its offers four HDMI 2.1 ports.
A number of gaming-oriented features are also key here, including a 120Hz refresh rate, Nvidia G-Sync and AMD Freesync Premium support, and a Game Optimiser feature.
LG has also introduced a new low-tier A1 series to offer an OLED viewing experience at more affordable prices.
These models still offer premium features like Dolby Vision, Dolby Atmos, Filmmaker mode, and HGiG HDR gaming support.
However, they use the older a7 Gen 4 processor, with a lower refresh rate of 60Hz, less powerful built-in audio, and no HDMI 2.1 support.
LG’s 2021 OLED, Nanocell, and UHD TVs will be available from major retailers from the end of May and the beginning of June.
Prices start at R15,999 for the 2021 55-inch Nanocell 4K TV.
