We’ve known since the week of Christmas that OLED technology would be the linchpin to LG’s CES 2013 announcements, but the company saved the all-important pricing details for the opening of the show. LG announced at its Monday-morning press conference that its 55-inch OLED TVs will begin selling in the United States in March, to the tune of $12,000. Pricing for the 65-inch model hasn’t yet been announced. For the lucky few that will perk up at that news instead of flinching, LG will begin accepting preorders online immediately.

As for a the rest of us, here’s a roundup of all the other new tech LG will be showing off at CES 2013.

  • We’ll see no less than 47 new HDTVs from LG this year, which are now exclusively lit by LEDs rather than CCFLs.
  • Google TV fans will be able to choose from among seven new models from LG, which will run version 3 of the platform and range in size from 42 to 60 inches.
  • LG’s new laser projector can throw a 100-inch screen sitting just 22 inches away from the screen.
  • Home audio gurus will be able to choose from four new soundbars, two of which have Internet streaming from Pandora and Netflix built in.
  • Two new Blu-ray players will work with LG’s Wii-style Magic Motion remotes.

Why you should buy the LG C3 OLED TV
First, let's talk about the technology behind OLED TVs and why it's so different. OLED stands for organic light-emitting diode, where the LEDs used to display a picture are individually lit using an electrical current. Organic molecules produce the light for the LEDs so that each pixel can be controlled individually. That also means in dark scenes where the pixel needs to be black, the light is essentially turned off, giving you accurate black tones. It results in the picture being truly black instead of washed out because of the lighting behind the panel. OLED also offers incredible sharpness and contrast, far beyond what you may be used to with standard LED TVs. This ultra-slim LG C3 Series smart TV uses OLED technology, with LG's brightness booster, plus Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos support. It's no wonder why LG's OLED TVs dominate the list of the best OLED TVs for 2024. LG holds the top two spots.
