The video wall market is back and now with near bezel-less monitors, you can do a lot more with a lot less in resolution. Some of the more recent innovations are things like edge-to-edge monitors so you don’t really […]
Every publication covering CES — including the residential and commercial AV one’s – have covered LG’s demo of a “rollable” or “foldable” screen as if it’s the biggest thing, ever. And, it may very well turn out to be. But, he truth is, it’s nothing but publicity-based hype. Sure, it’s interesting and, look at that […]
LG Electronics is shipping its slim (claiming it’s the slimmest in the world) LCD monitor with a bezel to bezel design at less than 2 millimeters (about 1/6th of an inch).

By Charles Annis DisplaySearch Apple’s widely-anticipated entry into the smart watch market would be the company’s first major new product foray in several years. With Apple’s unparalleled functionality and design capabilities, as well as market clout, the “iWatch” could be just what smart watches need to move into the mainstream. In addition, the iWatch will […]
Just prior to InfoComm, we received a pre-briefing on LG’s plans for display products for the digital signage market. Now, we can tell you more about the company’s signage display plans.

rAVe founder, Gary Kayye, caught up with LG’s Director of Signage Sales, Dan Smith, and he filled us in on all that’s going on inside one of the largest players in digital signage — including a giant 47” transparent LCD display. Watch the video here:
Most manufacturers and consumers think a UHD TV should have 3860×2160 color pixels, which typically is understood to mean red, green and blue (RGB) subpixels make up one color pixel. That understanding is now being challenged as subpixel structures using red, green, blue and white (RGBW) and red, green, blue and yellow (RGBY) are increasingly […]
The new curve TVs are an interesting display development that found much traction since first released in 2013. New LCD models were introduced at the recent CES and follow-up DSE trade shows in January and February respectively. Some see the new curved large display as a gimmick, and that it is an example of engineers […]

The New Jersey version of the Almo Pro A/V E4 AV Tour was held last week in the Meadowlands Exposition Center and not only did it set an attendance record for a New York area show, at over 600, but it was also an all-time attendance record for the four year AV Tour. If you’re […]
As with all new display technologies, the first generation is expensive, but we expect the second generation of curved OLEDs from both LG and Samsung will be half the $15,000 list price these new 55″ displays carry at today’s official launch in New York City.

We’ve written about the AVB Alliance a lot, as well as its competitive standard HDBaseT. If you don’t have a clue what we’re talking about, you’d better get educated as, […]
By Ken Werner By my count, LG missed three promised deadlines last year for the commercial introduction of its 55-inch OLED-TV set. Samsung, apparently never happy with the idea of bringing OLED-TVs to market before their time, grudgingly said it, too, would introduce a 55-inch OLED-TV in 2012, but when LG missed its final deadline of […]
LG has added to to its home entertainment range the new Hecto TV system, which the company says projects HD video onto a 100” screen from just about 22” away. An impressive (specs-wise) home cinema system, the 100” Laser TV includes an immersive screen and an external Ultra Short Throw (UST) projection unit capable of […]

Both Samsung and LG claim to have brought “the world’s first curved OLED TV” to CES 2013. The curved OLED TVs are both 55″ displays that appear concave when viewed from the front and even more bent from the sides.

Entering next week’s CES, Korean-based LG hopes to steal some of Samsung’s thunder with its own set of Smart TVs with two new TV series – the 47″ and 55″ GA-7900 series (the company’s new flagship line) and the 42″, 47″, 50″, 55″ and 60″ GA6400 series. Both sets will include Smart TV apps such […]
Both Sony and LG have shipped their first generation 4K resolution (3840×216) HDTVs to retailers this week, so you’ll see them in Best Buy and others shortly. Both manufacturers shipped their 84″ version first. Hmm, coincidence? Or maybe they’re made on the exact same assembly line. Sony’s, dubbed the XBR-84X900 and listing for $25,000, is […]
New York’s attorney general said today that three new LCD manufacturers will pay $571 million to settle claims that they conspired to inflate the price of LCD screens — this time its LG, Toshiba and AU Optronics.
