LG's latest 4K OLED — see what you've been missing

LG's 55" 55EG9600 combines the two most important display advances in the past few years: 4K Ultra High Definition and OLED. With four times the picture detail of 1080p HD, Ultra HD provides more texture, depth, and realism. However, many TV experts feel that contrast is actually the most important determiner of overall quality. For state-of-the-art contrast (and color), OLED is king.

LG 55EG9600

LG's 55" 55EG9600 combines the two most important display advances in the past few years: 4K Ultra High Definition and OLED. With four times the picture detail of 1080p HD, Ultra HD provides more texture, depth, and realism. However, many TV experts feel that contrast is actually the most important determiner of overall quality. For state-of-the-art contrast (and color), OLED is king.

Not familiar with OLED? It's the most advanced screen technology currently available. We've seen dozens of high-performance TVs come through our Lab during the past few years and none have generated more "wows" than the OLED models. Small OLED screens have been available on some high-end smartphones for a while, but TV-sized screens are still extremely rare. In fact, LG is currently the only manufacturer building OLED TVs.

OLED (pronounced "oh-led") 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.

The key to OLED is the screen material — 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

Each and every OLED pixel — actually every sub-pixel — can switch off completely, producing absolute black. It's this ability that gives OLED it's remarkable contrast and black levels. LG's OLED design also has an edge when it comes to color and brightness. In LCD TVs, each pixel is made up of three sub-pixels — red, green and blue — to create the 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. OLED images maintain excellent contrast and color even for viewers seated off to the sides.

A smart TV approach that's fun and friendly

The 55EG9600's built-in web apps give you instant access to a nearly limitless selection of entertainment — streamed video from services like Netflix, YouTube®, and Hulu®. The colorful webOS user interface lets you customize your home screen to access the apps you use most, and easily switch between them. This is a Netflix Recommended TV, which means it passed a rigorous evaluation process based on feedback from Netflix subscribers. Expect easier and faster access to Netflix, with quicker playback and start times.

LG's latest motion-sensing Magic Remote is simple and fun to use. You can point, click, scroll and even speak into the remote to find exactly what you want, searching across apps, movies, TV shows and the web... all at the same time. It's a lot like using a wireless videogame controller or an air mouse.

    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.

    • LG's 4 Color Pixel Technology: LG's 4 Color Pixel technology adds a white sub-pixel to the conventional 3 color red, green, and blue that enhances both color range and accuracy. This considerably improves the OLED pixels' ability to express the realistic colors and represents a giant step ahead of conventional flat-panel displays. The 4 Color Pixel is LG's unique innovation for the next generation OLED TV.
    • Tru-Color Generator: The LG OLED TV's internal Tru-Color Generator further improves the consistency of color reproduction across the entire image. As a result, the picture is more natural and pleasing to the eye for life-like color experience.
    • Perfect Black w/ Infinite Contrast Ratio: As the first display technology that allows self-lighting pixels to switch on and off individually, OLED offers the first "Infinite" contrast ratio. LG OLED TV's self-lighting pixels switch off completely when reproducing black. With no light bleed, LG OLED achieves absolute black levels, for infinite contrast. Contrast ratio measures the range from the brightest whites on the screen to the darkest blacks. The deep blacks will offer a greater sense of realism and depth on all content.
    • Absolute Motion Clarity: 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: LG has made this OLED TV even more dramatic, with a gracefully curved 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. OLED is the ideal TV technology for curved screens, because its wide viewing angle assures a consistently beautiful picture across the entire screen with virtually no variance

    Ultra HD 4K Resolution: The LG Ultra-HD OLED TV has a display resolution of 3,840 x 2,160 (4K) and will display all video at that resolution; regardless of input signal. 4K provides four times higher resolution than current 1080p high-definition TVs with a total of 8.3 million pixels. Its detail is so vivid and crisp, even when viewed from close distances; it's nearly impossible to discern a single pixel, even from inches away. Enjoy incredibly flawless images, vivid colors, and picture details as never before. More benefits of Ultra-HD 4K include:

    • Greater Sense Of Depth: At 4K, distant objects in a  scene can be rendered with greater clarity than at 2K, with more nuances of light and shadow and focus for a greater sense of perceived  depth.
    • Better Color: Because pixels are units of colored light, their greater quantity in 4K enables more layered transitions and subtler gradations of tones, so the hues we see up on screen will be truer to what we see in nature.
    • Sit Even Closer: 2K HD TVs carry a recommended viewing distance of three times (3X) the TV screen height, but with a 4K display you can move in to one-and-a-half times (1.5X) screen height without exposing individual pixels. Sitting closer better fills your field of vision, assuring total immersion in whatever you're watching.
    Note: The OLED TV offers "HEVC/H.265 & VP9" decoding, which means it'll be able to display 4K content from online movie & TV show providers (like Netflix, Amazon, & YouTube).

    Tru-4K Engine & Upscaler: LG's Tru-4K Engine lets you enjoy the benefits of 4K resolution from today's standard-definition and high-definition content. The LG Tru-4K Engine upscales the picture through a 4-step data analysis that enhances the details of broadcasts, movies, sports and videogames to near-4K quality, giving you the superior viewing experience you expect from an Ultra HDTV.

    Video Inputs: The LG UHD OLED television features HDMI (2.0), Component, and Composite video inputs. All of the television's video inputs are displayed at 3,840 x 2,160 (4K).

    • HDMI 2.0: The three HDMI 2.0 inputs will accept 4K (60/30Hz), 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. The television's HDMI inputs do not accept 480i video signals.
      • HDCP 2.2: HDCP 2.2 is supported by all of the TV's HDMI inputs. HDCP 2.2 is short for "High bandwidth Digital Content Protection" and is used for 4K video copyright protection for compatibility with 4K Blu-ray players and 4K Satellite/Cable providers.
      • 4:4:4 Color Subsampling: HDMI inputs 1-2 will support up to 4:4:4 chroma subsampling for full color data rendering of 4K video (30/60fps). 4:2:2 (30/60fps) and 4:2:0 (60fps) are also supported by HDMI inputs 1-2. HDMI input 3 only supports 4:2:0 (60fps). With 4:4:4 color, luminance (brightness) and chroma (color) are sampled at the same rate, resulting in an RGB color palette as big as the video sampling rate for a video image with more total colors, plus greater color accuracy and detail. You must enable 4:4:4 color subsampling in the TV's on-screen menu.
    • Component Video: The Component Video input will accept 1080p (60/24Hz), 1080i, 720p, 480p, and 480i signals. The component video inputs consist of a 3.5mm jack and a 6" mini-to-component video adapter. This same component video output shares the audio signal with the composite audio/video terminal.
    • Composite Video: The composite video input will accept 480i only. The composite audio/video terminal consists of an AV 3.5mm connector and a 6" mini-to-composite video/stereo RCA adapter.
    Note: The TV has built-in over-the-air HDTV (ATSC) and Digital Cable (QAM) tuners with an RF-coaxial input, so you don't need a separate set-top box to receive and decode over-the-air HDTV/SDTV or unencrypted Digital Cable signals.

    HDR Future Firmware Update: The TV will require a future firmware update (no ETA) before it can handle HDR (High Dynamic Range) content from network streaming sources. Because the TV's HDMI inputs cannot be upgraded to 2.0a, it won't support HDR via HDMI for Ultra HD Blu-ray.

    4K 3D+: LG lets you enjoy 3D movies on the big screen at home, just like at the movies. The large screen of LG Ultra-HD TV provides flicker-free, comfortable images that make the 3D entertainment more enjoyable. With its quadrupled resolution, the 3D images are more splendid than ever and the realism more lively than ever. Even 3D movies of low resolution can be upgraded to be played on LG Ultra-HD TV. By automatically upscaling 3D movies close to 4K quality, it lets you enjoy 3D on a whole new level. LG's 3D glasses are light, battery-free, hassle-free and economical, allowing for greater viewing comfort and convenience.

    • Included 3D Glasses: The television includes two 3D glasses and two 3D clip-ons. The included 3D glasses and clip-ons 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.

    Picture Settings: The LG UHD OLED TV provides preset, user, and expert adjustment of the television's picture settings.

    What is the significance to the fact that these units lack MHL compatibility?
    joseph  May 21, 2016

    A
    Very little. An MHL capable HDMI input would allow you to connect an MHL capable Android phone and mirror it's display on the TV screen. I hope that helps! My Bio: http://www.crutchfield.com/Support/Bio.aspx?bio=5

    Q
    What are the dimensions of the base? LG's specs on this make no sense. I need to know if this will fit on my existing TV stand.

    base 28 X 6 1/2 inches, curved to match screen
    david  Dec 26, 2015

    The stand is curved like the TV and is 28 1/2" wide at it's widest and 8" deep measured from the middle of the curve in back to a yard stick that is placed touching both front corners.
    james  Dec 26, 2015

    The base is 27x7 and is curved like the screen. The bottom of the TV sits 2 1/2 inches above what ever you have it on.
    thomas e  Dec 26, 2015
    Q
    On the 55EG9600, what is the arc radius on the front of the screen? Is it 2.00" Deep, at the center of the 48.3" arc (width)?
    jeffrey  Oct 16, 2015
    2 answers
    A
    Visually the slight curvature makes it more appealing in corner locations. The radius or focal point, without calculation, is roughly 3 feet. My only gripe (as the overall product is amazing) of the curved screen is there is significant magnification of some reflections which were less problematic on a flat screen, yet the magnifying does reduce the brightness of those reflections. These situations are hard to visualize at store displays.
    robert  Jul 21, 2016
    A
    We don't have any information available to indicate the arc radius of the curved screen panel, but it is 2" deep at it's deepest point which would be in the center of the arc. I hope that helps.

    Q
    Does this tv have full hdr capability?
    kenneth  Oct 02, 2015
    2 answers
    A
    Our TV expert reached out with this additional information: Hey Ken, I believe your question is about HDR (High Dynamic Range) and not HD DVR. The 55EG9600 will be able to support HDR on streaming video once the firmware update is available from LG. But even then it will not support HDR on externally connected video sources, like an Ultra HD Blu-ray player. -Steve Kindig
    jeff  Oct 12, 2015 (Staff)
    A
    I forwarded your question to an Advisor and they responded with the following: The LG 55EG9600 does have full HD DVR capabilities if you are subscribed to DirecTV with the Genie Whole-Home HD DVR service. This allows you to have the HD DVR and 4K content without an additional receiver in the room. You will need to do a firmware update before the television is able to do this feature. If you would like to discuss further you can contact an Advisor directly by phone (1-800-324-9695) or online chat.
