LG Electronics will be unveiling its new lineup of 4K ULTRA HD TVs, with new designs, more features and picture quality enhancements, at the 2015 International CES in Las Vegas from Jan. 6-9. This will be the first opportunity for audiences to get a first- hand look at LG’s full collection of 4K ULTRA HD TVs for the 2015 model year. The Korean company will be demonstrating the color reproduction of its ColorPrime series which produces realism and depth either with Wide Color LED or Quantum Dot technologies.

LG’s 4K ULTRA HD TV with Wide Color LED technology, making its debut at CES 2015, utilizes different phosphor-based LEDs to display greater color depth and more lifelike images. LG will also be unveiling for the first time ever its 4K ULTRA HD TVs with Quantum Dot technology, which offers high color accuracy along with a 30 percent increase in the color gamut.

LG’s 4K ULTRA HD TVs deliver 4K (3840 x 2160) resolution with In-Plane Switching (IPS) 4K panels. These displays render color vibrancy of images in near original quality and do so while allowing for wide viewing angles. LG’s True Black Control local dimming technology refines the contrast and creates deeper blacks. Also new for 2015 is LG’s Natural Color feature which minimizes color reproduction errors while Contrast Optimizer maximizes color contrast and brightness.

LG’s new ULTRA Slim concept, which has been integrated into the CINEMA SCREEN design, is an important factor in the TV’s capabilities. The slim bezel and clean appearance creates a package where even the back of the TV has been designed to add a modern touch to virtually any interior décor.

Five of LG’s 4K ULTRA HD TV models come equipped with a multi-channel ULTRA Surround System, developed in partnership with audio expert Harman/Kardon. The forward-firing speakers are compact but effective. And new for 2015, the high-end UF9500 series features an integrated Auditorium Stand designed to reflect and centralize sound.

LG’s newly upgraded proprietary smart TV platform, webOS 2.0, is even more user-friendly than its predecessor. Booting time has been reduced by up to 60 percent and connectivity to external devices is even more effortless than before. What’s more, users can customize their own menus on the Launcher Bar.

LG has also integrated its 4K Upscaler algorithm into its 4K Ultra HD TV lineup for smooth rendering of SD, HD and Full HD content into near Ultra HD quality images. What’s more, the built-in 4K High Efficiency Video Codec (HEVC) Decoder supports both 30p and 60p 4K content from external devices, helping to assure that LG TVs will be compatible with future Ultra HD transmission standards.

LG Display will also showcase at CES 2015 its new 55 and 65 inch, ultra-thin LCD panels for TVs called "Art Slim." The TVs are just 7.5 mm and 8.2 mm thick, and weigh 10.4 kg and 16.2kg, respectively. The Art Slim series shows a reduced thickness of up to 75 percent compared to a conventional 55 inch LCD TV. Also, its weight has decreased by more than 25 percent.

As the LCD panel requires the backlight and several parts unlike the self-light emitting OLED panel, it has been considered impossible to make it thinner than 10mm. The Art Slim reduced the thickness of the LCD (the UHD panel with LED light sources) close to that of the OLED panel.

The Art Slim replaced the backlight on the backside of the LCD panel with the edge type. In particular, LGD emphasized that it has reduced the thickness of the panel by gluing the parts, film, backlight and case of the existing parts, which used to be placed on the structure (fixer type), like pads (foam pad type). The company said it patented the related technology. As the aluminum composite material is now used for the cover of the backside of the LCD module, customers can choose colors and patterns they desire for the cover.

LGD is planning to reinforce customized design by diversifying cover materials in accordance with customers' product lineup.
