LG brings OLED within reach with this stunning HDTV

LG 55EG9100

There's lots of buzz around 4K Ultra HD these days. But the 1080p picture of the LG 55EG9100 OLED HDTV is tough to beat for the money, thanks to beautifully saturated colors and perfect blacks.

Not familiar with OLED? It's the most advanced screen technology currently available. We've seen lots of impressive TVs come through during the past few years and none have drawn more "wows" than the OLED models.

OLED stands for Organic Light Emitting Diode, and it's the organic part that is groundbreaking. Traditional light emitting diodes have been used in LED-LCD TVs for years. An array of LEDs functions as the backlight, shining through a screen made up of LCD pixels. Whereas OLED screens use an organic substance that glows when it's activated by an electric current.

The screen's pixel layer is made of this self-illuminating carbon-based material — each pixel is its own light source which can be independently switched on and off, so there's no need for a backlight with all its limitations. Also, compared to conventional display types, OLED has fewer layers between your eyes and the screen's pixels — a big reason why OLED images possess such startling color, clarity, and immediacy.

Pixel-level illumination delivers infinite picture contrast and perfect black levels

OLED screens are fairly common on smartphones, but TV-sized screens are still rare — and usually expensive. LG is actually the only company currently building OLED TVs. An OLED screen is thinner, lighter, and more energy-efficient than an LED-LCD screen. Each and every OLED pixel creates its own light, and OLED pixels can switch off completely, producing absolute black. That's immediately noticeable in dark scenes, plus the 55EG9100's precise pixel-level illumination allow those inky blacks to exist side-by-side with brilliant whites and rich colors, with no light bleed or bloom.

LG's OLED design has an edge when it comes to color and brightness, too. In an LCD TV, each pixel is made up of three "sub-pixels" — red, green and blue — to create the full color palette. LG's unique 4 Color Pixel technology adds a white sub-pixel to the conventional three colors to enhance both color range and brightness. Another OLED advantage is that images maintain excellent contrast and color even when viewers are seated off to the sides.

A Smart TV approach that's fun and friendly

The 55EG9100's strong selection of built-in Smart TV apps gives you instant access to a nearly limitless selection of entertainment — streamed video from services like Netflix®, Amazon Instant Video, and Hulu®, music from Pandora® and Rhapsody®, social networking, and lots more. The colorful webOS user interface lets you customize your home screen to access the apps you use most, and easily switch between them.

LG's latest motion-sensing Magic Remote uses gesture controls to let you easily search and select web entertainment just by pointing and clicking. It's very similar to using a wireless videogame controller or an air mouse. A built-in microphone for voice commands is another nice touch.

OLED: "OLED" means organic light-emitting diode, named for the advanced material used in the TV's screen. The secret to OLED is this unique light-emitting diode structure with its electroluminescent layer, a special film made from an organic, carbon-based compound that emits its own light when hit with an electric current. A thin-film transistor (TFT) backplane switches each specific pixel on and off. This configuration enables a thinner, lighter form factor, higher resolution and big, home theater-ready screen sizes. Because OLED TVs do not require a backlight, pixels that are switched off are truly black, so OLED achieves deeper black levels and a higher contrast ratio when compared to LCD and LED-LCD TVs with conventional backlighting. OLED technology also increases energy efficiency.

  • Ultra Luminance: Ultra Luminance technology continuously analyzes the brightest and darkest parts of the displayed content in order to improve brightness and resolution.
  • Infinite Contrast Ratio: LG OLED TV's self-lighting pixels switch off completely when reproducing black for perfect black levels. With no light bleed, LG OLED achieves absolute black levels, for infinite contrast.
  • Wide Color Gamut: LG OLED TVs display a wide gamut of accurate colors. And because colors look best against a pure black background, images are now more vibrant and detailed.
  • Fast Response Time: The critical response time of the LG OLED TV (its ability to refresh the image on screen) is less than .1ms (microseconds), drastically faster than LCD or LED-LCD televisions. As a result, you get even the fastest action to be dependably crystal clear and virtually blur-free.

Curved Screen w/ Wide Viewing Angle: LG has made this OLED TV even more dramatic, with a gracefully cured screen. It fills your field of vision like no flat screen can, for a thrilling, immersive viewing experience that still delivers a wide viewing angle. LG OLED TVs incomparable picture quality holds up even from wide viewing angles so now everyone can appreciate the color and clarity of OLED from any seat.

HD & SD Video Inputs w/ Perfect Mastering Engine: The LG OLED HDTV features HDMI, Component, and Composite video inputs. The Perfect Mastering Engine optimizes the settings of the TV to boost picture quality to premium levels and also will upscale standard definition to near high-definition quality (up to 1080p). All of the television's video inputs will be displayed at 1080p.

  • Triple HDMI Inputs: The three HDMI inputs will accept 1080p (60/24Hz), 1080i, 720p, and 480p video signals. The HDMI inputs not only allow you to connect your Blu-ray/DVD player or Satellite/Cable receiver to the TV, but also a laptop or computer.
  • Component/Composite Video: The Component Video input will accept 1080p (60/24Hz), 1080i, 720p, 480p, and 480i signals. The composite video input will accept 480i only. The Component and Composite video inputs share an audio input.
Note: The TV has built-in over-the-air HDTV (ATSC) and Digital Cable (QAM) tuners, so you don't need a separate set-top box to receive and decode over-the-air HDTV/SDTV or unencrypted Digital Cable signals.

Passive 3D: LG's Passive 3D technology offers amazing 3D depth with a brighter picture and better motion quality, plus flicker-free glasses, just like the movie theater. You get the same technology that powers the 3D films in the movie theater, right in your own home. LG Cinema 3D gives you wider viewing angles, meaning you get the same immersive 3D experience wherever you sit. The OLED flat-panel TV's 3D picture begins with LG's proprietary Film-type Patterned Retarder (FPR) panel, which optimizes the separation of images for the left and right eyes. This polarized film is applied directly to the TV's screen enabling delivery of optimized images for both eyes. The images are then filtered through specially designed glasses to give you truly crisp, blur-free, flicker-free 3D images that leap of the screen. As a result, the 3D image looks 1080p and is clearer, brighter, flicker-free, and more comfortable to watch.

  • Included 3D Glasses: The included 3D glasses (2 pair included) are just like the ones you get at the movie theater, so they are very lightweight and comfortable to wear. The 3D image formatting is done solely on the TV set, so the 3D glasses are passive (no batteries required) and don't need to be synced, enabling you to enjoy 3D images anywhere in your room and free from the interference of other objects. The passive 3D glasses design also lets you enjoy 3D images from any viewing angle; whether you are sitting on the couch or laying on floor.
  • Dual Play: The Dual Play feature on this LG 3D TV allows two players to enjoy head-to-head gaming on one television without the compromise of a split screen. Two players can now compete against one another independently and catch the action across the full screen at the same time. Requires special AG-F400DP glasses (sold separately) from LG.
Note: This LG TV can display in 3D via 3D broadcasting or when the TV is connected to a 3D compatible device; such as a 3D-ready Blu-ray player with 3D content. The TV must be connected to your 3D source via HDMI and you must wear the included passive 3D glasses in order to see these images in 3D (three-dimensional) format.

This eliminates the need for extra cables connected to the TV. ARC allows audio from the TV tuner, Network connection, inserted USB device, HDMI inputs, or any analog connected device to be heard through your ARC compatible AV receiver via the television's HDMI ARC input. The audio from the TV's tuner, HDMI inputs, network connection, and USB ports can pass as Dolby Digital or 2ch PCM. Analog connected devices will be output as 2ch PCM only.

Note: Both the television and the receiver must support ARC for this function to work properly. When connecting an A/V receiver that is compatible with Audio Return Channel (ARC), connect it to the TV's HDMI 2 input. If connecting a system that is incompatible Audio Return Channel (ARC), an additional audio connection via Digital Audio Out (Optical) is necessary.

Remote Control

Motion Sensing Remote w/ Microphone: LG's Magic Remote acts as a remote controller, mouse pointer, and voice commander. This included RF remote control uses a 2.4GHz frequency range (2.4-2.4835 GHz; 32-channels) to control the TV up to a distance of 32.8'.

  • Remote Controller/Mouse Pointer: The RF remote operates the TV as if it were a wireless mouse. It allows you to point the remote at the TV and move through menu options with the movement of the remote. With simple gesture control, LG'S exclusive Magic Remote enables you to move the on-screen cursor, navigate menus, drag & drop apps, and select icons.
  • Voice Command Functions ("Voice Mate"): The built-in microphone enables Voice Command for live TV, internet apps, web browser, and social networking. Simply press and hold the "Voice" button on the remote to activate the Voice Command function. When the microphone image appears on the screen, speak your desired search request into the remote. You can tune TV channels and search channel information, recommend and search TV shows & movies, or search the web.

You've got two different TV models selected here and the answer is different for each. The 55EG9100 requires a proprietary LG bracket for wall mounting: http://www.crutchfield.com/p_689OTW150/item.html The 60UH7700 offers the standard VESA 300 x300 bolt hole pattern (6mm machine screws) for use with compatible brackets that can support the weight of the TV (48.7 lbs.). I hope that helps! My Bio: http://www.crutchfield.com/Support/Bio.aspx?bio=5

Q
The minimized bezel creates a stunning view, but with the hdmi cables and/or usb connected, don't this distract from that effect? In other words, it seems they would be exposed from behind the screen. Anyone encountering this drawback?

This was a first impression concern for me, but it ended up not, even using very heavy cables without end adaptors. I used the supplied cable tie, and also put a plastic cable loop under a cabinet screw to use as a second tie-down so my cable bundle was cleanly routed. If seeing cables from the side is an issue, one can even use cable wrap material to make it visually appealing: I have all of mine shoved into a single 1" wrap.

The cables would be visible from the side with this curved screen mounted on the wall. On the stand the cables aren't visible if you use the included cable tie to manage them. The HDMI and USB ports are set back from the left bezel a few inches (see the picts) and the cables can be bent back to the cable tie. The thick cables like Ethernet and coax are on the bottom. I use a HDMI swivel adapter I got form Amazon so I didn't need to bend the cables so tightly. You have identified probably the worst design problem with this TV. But let me tell you, it's a very minor problem considering how awesome this TV is.

The HDMI and USB connections are recessed behind the display on the left side of the screen. I use RedMere cables for HDMI. These are very thin cables that are easy to route and hide yet they produce a very good signal. USB devices and cables tend to be thinner and are easy to hide as well,

I have my 9100 on a stand and have a bluray hdmi, an antenna and a sub connected. I have experienced no problems with appearance. Having the wall behind the tv free of pictures or anything else really makes the thin bezel picture look great. I also have a Sony 850B 4k tv and the LG 9100 1080p is just as good in picture quality.

Use black cables and tape them to the back of the unit behind the stand..
mario  Mar 11, 2016

Yes it can stick out a little. Thinner bendable cables could help that some. They also make a 90 degree adapter which would allow the cable to basically plug in from the rear instead of the side. Just make sure you pay attention to which way the adapter bends in relation to the narrow part of the plug. You don't want an adapter that would point into the TV. It's an awesome TV by the way, especially for this price!!!

I don't find this to be true at all, but mine is mounted on the wall, maybe that makes a difference. I concur, stunning picture
ellen  Mar 11, 2016

The hdmi cables do stick out the lower left side if you have the heavier cables that don't bend easily like mine. It doesn't bother me but my wife noticed immediately and demanded I fix it. It took a bit of explaining before she was convinced that how it was supposed to look. Higher quality cables could probably be pulled toward the bottom, but that's hust a guess.

I have my TV on a stand and the cables connect into the left side of the TV and don't cause any distractions at all. The TV seems like it is floating above the stand and has an awsome picture. I'm sure you will love it. Kurt

Do you know if your LG 55EG9100 unitsa are made in North American (Mexico)? I have been told to look out for units coming from Asia as theyou are cheaper in price for a reason...the specs are not quite the same and are a slightly inferior product.
