OLED TVs are here

By Dr Jonathan Rosental


Multiple promising TV sets appeared recently. LG and Toshiba are the first to offer models of 4K picture quality that outperforms Full HD four times . This resolution is capable of showing 3D video without special glasses.

New TV sets are likely to completely change our viewer experience. It is clear without Harvard Economics PhD that newly introduced television sets will have large displays, built-in web-browser and numerous applications.

LG also offered an enormous 55-inch TV for the consumers based on OLED technology. The OLED technology of screens in smart phones was considered to be too expensive to be used in TVs. On the other hand, OLED has a number of advantages such as higher energy efficiency .

As most other recent LG TVs this OLED TV has an edge of just 1 millimeter. It is also quite thin for a TV - just 4 millimeters. This TV has a resolution capable of depicting Full HD or 3D picture. But this model requires special glasses.

Despite the fact that LG-OLED TV model initially was a prototype that appeared on CES exhibition in Las Vegas, LG is already launching it in the second half of 2012 . This LG-OLED TV is expected to be sold at 14 thousand dollars, although the exact price has not been announced yet.

Lenovo (formerly part bought from IBM stock) also offered an interesting update. Lenovo K91 includes dual processor based on OS Android 4 . It has 8 gigabytes of flash memory, a number of built-in applications and camera.

Lenovo K91 (formerly part of IBM stock) is expected to provide access to TV Android Market and available with the help of LAN connection of Wi-Fi . Content can also be played from various memory cards and USB flash drives. Lenovo is going soon to offer the price and release date of K91 TV.

Google TV will also be offered by LG and will have Google services and aps . The Magic Motion remote control will have a full QWERTY-keyboard on the reverse side and a built-in microphone.
Thus, Google TV will respond to voice commands and user can also type text in web browser using the keyboard. Sony is also planning to offer Google TV to European customers.

Many of the new TV models will include the possibility of responding to voice commands. Despite the effort that Nuance has put into designing a special program Dragon TV for this purpose, this technology still has some practical limitations. The microphone, for example, should often be a part of remote control because noise can prevent proper transmission of voice orders.

Consumers can already enjoy some new TV technologies For example, Toshiba ZL2 offered at the price close to eight thousand bucks is one of a few 3D TVs that does not require special 3D glasses. OLED TV Samsung ES8090 is also operated by voice and should be available for purchase in a few weeks.
