LG Shows Off Curved OLED TVs And More

While visiting LG's booth, we had a chance to see the company's latest OLED TVs. LG plans to ship its 55-inch OLED TV in March in the US. As you would expect from an OLED TV, it's absolutely gorgeous and pencil-thin. LG was also showing off its new 55-inch curved OLED TV known as the EA9800. The company wouldn't give us any information on shipping or availability regarding the EA9800.

As you can see from the photo, LG put three of these curved OLEDs side-by-side to create a nice, wide arc. The EA9800 offers full Cinema 3D support. Like other OLED TVs, the EA9800 offers a stunning picture that can only be truly appreciated in real life. Thanks to its curved design, the entire surface of the screen is equidistant from a viewer's eyes. This helps to remove any visual distortions or detail loss near the edges that you may see on other displays.


LG's EA9800 features a curved design which makes the entire screen equidistant from a viewer's eyes.

LG's OLED TVs utilize proprietary WRGB technology. This Four-Color Pixel system uses a white sub-pixel which works with a conventional RGB setup to give you even better color output. LG's EA9800 uses Carbon Fiber-Reinforced Plastic to help reduce the weight of the TV while adding strength to the curved screen.

We also spent some time in LG's mobile area where we got another hands-on look at the LG Optimus G. As you'll recall, this smartphone is currently available from AT&T and Sprint. The Optimus G features a 4.7-inch 1280x768 WXGA True HD IPS Plus display, a quad-core 1.5GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Pro processor, 2GB of RAM, 16GB of internal memory, and an 8 megapixel camera with LED flash.

According to the guys at LG's booth, the company is putting a lot of resources and focus on smartphone development. We're hoping this will lead to even more really cool, high-end phones from LG moving forward.
