Here’s what LG’s 2020 TVs will cost when they go on sale later this year

 

LG’s 2020 TV lineup is here, as well as a slew of new technologies … well, almost. The company announced earlier this month that it will start releasing its roster of new models in both South Korea and the United States. Europe and other regions will soon follow, LG said.

Among these new OLED models are the GX Gallery Series, LG’s OLED ZX 8K models, and its CX and BX 4K models. Models supporting 8K television will feature an Alpha 9 Gen 3 A.I. Processor, the company’s third-generation processor, which is designed to “heighten viewers’ sense of immersion.” Other new features pertain to movies, sports, gaming and other types of content — and ATSC 3.0, or NextGen TV, a new standard for over-the-air television supporting 4K streams that will roll out across the country later this year.

The company also said the 2020 line of TVs will feature the latest HDMI specifications, and its 8K models will be able to play native 8K content from both HDMI and USB digital inputs.

  • 55-inch arriving in April for $2,500
  • 65-inch arriving in April for $3,500
  • 77-inch arriving in April for $6,000

The GX Series is LG’s answer to  Samsung’s The Frame — with a unique twist. The GX Series is designed to mount flush to a wall just like a piece of art, and it utilizes OLED panel technology that doesn’t require a backlight to make that happen. With that tech, the 65-inch model is less than an inch thick (0.79 inches, to be more precise) and there’s no need for an additional control box.

ZX Real 8K Series

  • 88-inch arriving in May for $30,000

In its press release on the new TVs, LG kept relatively quiet about its 8K models. The company disclosed only that these models meet the industry definition for 8K Ultra HD TVs as defined by the Consumer Technology Association, which LG says makes them among the first 8K models capable of using the CTA 8K Ultra HD logo.

CX Series

  • 48-inch arriving in June for $1,500
  • 55-inch arriving in March for $1,800
  • 65-inch arriving in April for $2,800
  • 75-inch arriving in May for $5,000

The CX Series will be one of two OLED 4K series for LG this year, alongside the BX Series. Details were once again sparse for this series, but LG did say a new size will be made available later this year in the form of a 48-inch CX OLED display.

BX Series

  • 55-inch arriving in May for $1,500
  • 65-inch arriving in May for $2,300
  • 75-inch price and delivery TBD

The BX Series is just as limited on details, with LG simply saying the BX and CX series will each be “delivering the outstanding picture quality that LG OLED is known for.”

NanoCell TV 8K Series

  • 65-inch arriving in June for $3,499
  • 75-inch arriving in May for $4,999

The Nano99 8K models won’t have OLED displays, but LG says they will carry the CTA 8K UHD logo just like the 8K versions. An interesting aspect of the Nano99 series is its processor, an Alpha 9 Gen 3 A.I. Processor 8K. It’s the same one used in LG’s 2020 OLED TVs, which LG said uses deep-learning technology to provide an ideal 8K viewing experience.

NanoCell TV 4K Series

Enter ATSC 3.0

The final interesting nugget from LG’s lineup is support for ATSC 3.0, or NextGen TV.  It’s a massive overhaul for antenna-based TV, also known as over-the-air (OTA) TV. While you wouldn’t buy a new television solely to get these higher definition signals, it’s nice to know that your investment in a fancy TV should be as future-proofed as possible. According to LG, six 2020  OLED models will wear the CTA’s NextGen TV: the 55-, 65- and 77-inch class GX Gallery Series 4K Ultra HD models, the 65-inch class WX Wallpaper 4K model and 77- and 88-inch class ZX Real 8K models.

Samsung’s CES 2023 TVs get thinner, brighter, healthier, and better for gaming
Samsung 2022 QN900B 8K Neo QLED TV.

On display at CES 2023, Samsung's 2023 TV lineup is getting a wide variety of upgrades, including thinner designs, better sound systems, 4K cloud-based gaming, and some interesting health applications that the company is borrowing from its mobile division. Here's everything you need to know.
MicroLED gets smaller, more affordable
Samsung was an early promoter of microLED display tech, which uses tiny LED lights as individual pixels instead of using them as the backlight on an LCD-based TV (LED TV, mini-LED TV). Unfortunately, microLED TVs have tended to be huge (starting at 110 inches), expensive, and somewhat limited in resolution at smaller sizes.

The company's new Micro LED CX, at 76 inches, is its smallest yet, and Samsung promises it will also be the most affordable microLED TV ever released.

LG’s 42-inch LX3 OLED TV can bend when you want it to
LG OLED Flex LX3 curved television.

Is it a TV? Is it a gaming monitor? Something different altogether? The answer is "Yes," when it comes to the newly announced LG OLED Flex (aka the LX3, if you're the sort who cares about model numbers) — a 42-inch OLED screen that can be viewed flat, like a traditional television, or curved, a la a newfangled gaming monitor.

The bend can hit a maximum of 900R (that's a measurement of how much things bend in terms of the radius in millimeters), which means it's likely a little less than the curvature of gaming monitors you've already seen, but definitely way more than any television you've got in your home currently.

LG’s latest 4K UST projector only needs 2.2 inches of wall clearance
lg cinebeam hu915qe ultra short throw 4k laser projector 01

LG's new flagship ultra-short-throw (UST) 4K laser projector, the CineBeam HU915QE, sets some impressive new benchmarks, with 3,700 lumens of claimed brightness, and the ability to be placed as close as 2.2 inches away from a wall. At that distance, it can create a 90-inch image, but if you move it just a little farther away, to a distance of 7.2 inches, that image size can increase to a massive 120 inches. We're still waiting to hear how much LG wants for the HU915QE, but the company says it will be available to order before the end of June 2022.

UST projectors are the perfect solution for those who crave super-large image sizes for their movies, sports, and games, and who don't want to contend with a projector in the middle of their room or suspended from their ceiling. LG is no stranger to laser-driven UST projectors and has produced several models over the past few years. The HU915QE is the second and most advanced LG UST projector to be announced in 2022 -- it follows the the previously released CineBeam HU715Q, which only delivers 2,500 lumens.
