We were blown away by LG’s 97-inch OLED Wireless TV

I was Cover TVs in CES For years, so to surprise me is something that takes a lot. I’ve seen some wild screens, the ones that are roll upand another very large one Basically video walls, but it usually comes after a few rounds of prototyping, which softens the shock. When I walked into the LG suite in a hotel in Las Vegas, the thing I saw across the room was big Surprise.

And I mean big. It’s a 97-inch OLED TV, and it’s still the largest OLED TV in the world. And since OLED provides the The best picture quality Available, it’s impressive in person at this size. But this did not come as a surprise – LG introduced it last year. For me, the jaw-dropper came when an LG rep told me it was pretty, huge 4k The image was broadcast to the TV without any wires.

Wireless TV is real, and it’s coming this year.

Across the room from the TV sat the wireless transmitter box. On the back of the box were standard HDMI port And a bunch of other connections, and one HDMI cable ran to the Blu-ray player. The on-screen image was from a Blu-ray Disc, sent wirelessly—and flawlessly, to my eyes—from the box to the TV. The top of the box can be rotated to direct an indoor antenna to the TV.

The TV itself didn’t have any video inputs at all, just empty metal where TV inputs are usually located around the back. The idea is to cut down on wires, that old misstep of bland TV fixtures. You, the person who can afford your 97-inch OLED TV, stash your AV equipment inside a cabinet out of sight, along with the transmitter box that everything plugs into. That leaves just the power cord for the TV, an LG cord ingeniously hidden inside one of the legs of the stand.

Sure, any number of TV mounts can hold your gear, too. But the wireless connection allows the TV to stand on its own, which looks impressive on one of LG’s rack-like stands (pictured above) and can greatly simplify wall mounting.

LG says the box can be placed up to 30 feet from the TV. I asked if the wireless connection was a potential risk, especially if you’re sitting between the box and the TV, and company representatives told me it wasn’t because it uses technology similar to standard Wi-Fi routers. They also said it wouldn’t be affected by other Wi-Fi traffic. The signal can handle up to 4K resolution, 120 Hz, which is the limit for today’s games. It’s also the highest resolution and frame rate that most TVs can accept, including LG’s regular 4K OLED models.

The box has three HDMI inputs, which is surprising since most high-end TVs have four, but that’s not a bargain in my book. The rest of the ports are typical for a TV: an antenna, two USB ports, ethernet and an optical digital output, as well as a serial port for controlling home automation.

Wireless TVs were sold in the past, and wireless technology appeared in projectors as well. You can also buy wireless HDMI extender kits for $100 or less, but they generally can’t handle such high bandwidth. This is the first time in years that I’ve seen it integrated into a TV. company called offset tv It also showed a wireless OLED prototype at CES, but it’s a 55-inch battery-powered display designed for portability.

In addition to the 97-inch size, LG will release its wireless OLED display, dubbed the M3 series, in 83- and 77-inch sizes. LG says it will come sometime in 2023 with pricing, like the rest of the 2023 LG TVs, yet to be determined. For reference, LG charges $25,000 for a standard 97-inch wired OLED TV and $2,900 for a 77-inch, so no matter the size, the M3 won’t come cheap.

Apart from M3 LG also introduced Three more series of wired OLED TVs At CES 2023.
