If you’re after a TV with the pinnacle of technology, stunning picture quality for premium viewing, and a design that is a feature of the room, then the LG OLED55B6V should be a top contender.
Bringing OLED & UHD Premium together gives the LG OLED55B6V the most stunning picture quality in its class.
OLED (Organic Light Emitting Diode) technology offers perhaps the most advanced picture quality currently available. Unlike standard LED screens OLED doesn’t require backlighting, so the colour is consistent right across the screen. OLED screens bring vivid colours to every frame, regular LED televisions provide only white light that shines through a filter, whereas OLEDs act as a light source & colour array all in one, this means you get truer, and more lifelike colours on every inch of the screen. OLED pixels are self-lighting which means they can switch on & off individually to produce inky blacks & super bright whites.
4K Ultra HD or UHD means you’ll get a truly lifelike image as the television is capable of displaying pictures four times the quality of full HD 1080p. It will also upscale HD TV channels & Blu-ray discs to near 4K quality. This model also has HDR (High Dynamic Range) technology which ramps up the 4K properties of the television with a staggering 10 bit colour depth. This means that there are over a billion individual colours available to the TV, to add stunning depth to your viewing & show shades you’ve never seen in home viewing before. This is also one of a few sets available that’s compatible with Dolby Vision content which is a special standard that optimises the TV display to produce mind-blowing colour & contrast.
The smart content for this television is provided by LG’s award winning webOS 3.0 platform. Using its dual core processor you can view more content than ever before. You can stream Sky Cinema or Sports through NOWTV, 4K UHD content through Netflix, Amazon & YouTube, or even music through Spotify. Catch up television services such as BBC iPlayer, ITV Hub, All 4 and My5 are all available through Freeview Play so you’ll never miss your favourite programme. Other apps, like Facebook & Twitter, will keep you in touch with all your social media. LG’s Smart Share lets you send content from your smartphone, tablet or laptop onto the big screen using your home’s Wi-Fi, you can also use screen mirroring to show off exactly what’s on your phone on the TV. Freeview HD is built in and is the fuss free way to catch your favourite shows, with access to around 60 channels & with 12 HD channels.
With 40w of sound developed in conjunction with AV & Hi-Fi experts Harman Kardon, the OLED55B6V’s audio system offers a big step up from the average ‘thin’ flatscreen TV sound. Fill your room with heart pumping explosions, ultra-crisp dialogue & rich soundtracks. Add an LG soundbar & connect wirelessly to the TV using LG’s Sound Sync technology & experience an even higher quality & more immersive sound.
LG’s updated marvelous magic remote control lets you point, click and use voice commands, making navigation of the TV as simple as possible, making it very handy to navigate LG’s feature rich web OS smart platform amongst other things. Use the magic zoom button to hone in on the picture to get finer details without the loss of image quality.
The Ultra-thin ‘blade’ design is insanely slim with a stunning gloss grey finish, the television sits on a see through stand to give the appearance that it is floating and would look fantastic in any home. The set is also wall-mountable with a universal bracket (sold separately), so you are only limited by your imagination on where to place it.
This LG has 4 HDMI ports & 3 USB ports, built in Wi-Fi, Freeview HD & Freesat HD amongst a whole host of other connections & features.
As far as OLED TVs go, this is one of leading performers, and certainly is a marked improvement from conventional LED TVs in terms of image quality, black levels and depth of image – especially in darker scenes and for brighter whites. With a stunning design to complement the viewing experience and improved sound, this TV is one to consider.
