LG’s been wheeling out its giant, gorgeous 55-inch OLED TV at tradeshows for years, but now at long last,
it’s going on sale in the UK. Want one? You’ll need to smash open more than a
few piggy banks.
The South Korean gadget giant is bringing its
brand new set exclusively to Harrods it’s available for customers to pre-order
for delivery in July for a cool £9,999. OLED TVs use similar tech to the
dazzling screens on Samsung’s Galaxy S phones – they don’t need a backlight,
and pixels can be turned on and off individually, meaning you can get stunning
contrast on screen at once, with true blacks and bright whites. But they’re
also vastly more difficult to produce at large sizes, which is why LG’s facing
little competition in the OLED telly area right now.
At just 4.5 millimetres thin and weighing in
at less than 10kg, LG has stuffed in a massive 55-inch OLED panel that screams
picture quality along with its web-connected smart TV tech and built-in 3D skills.
Of course, the only thing to consider when
plonking down cash for LG’s new TV is whether or not to splurge out on LG’s
other world’s first TV set at Harrods: the massive 84” Ultra HD TV that LG showed off in November.
Is this your next TV or are you waiting for a smaller
OLED set to hit the high street? Let us know your thoughts in the comments
