4th Generation OLED Evo Panel: LG's flagship 4th generation OLED evo panel technology creates an incredible viewing experience with stellar picture quality, featuring "Perfect Black" and "Perfect Color" performance (UL Solutions verified) on over 8.3 million self-lit smart pixels - resulting in a beautiful Ultra-HD 4K picture with rich color and accurate detail, even in the brightest of room environments.
- Pixel Level Dimming: LG OLED TV's 8.3 million self-lighting pixels switch off completely for Pixel Level Dimming. As the first display technology that allows self-lighting pixels to switch on and off individually, OLED offers the first "Infinite" contrast ratio. With no light bleed, LG OLED achieves "Perfect 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.
- Primary RGB Tandem: By separating the yellow-emitting layer of the existing 3rd generation OLED into distinct red and green layers, color brightness has been increased by 40% (up to 2,100nits). Peak brightness has been enhanced by 33% (up to 4,000nits) through technology that stacks the pure light sources of red, green, and blue into four layers. Furthermore, improvements in the diodes and panel power supply system have resulted in a 20% reduction in power consumption compared to the previous technology.
- Bright Room Ready: LG's Brightness Booster Ultimate is a new suit of light-boosting algorithms used to map and control brightness on a pixel-by-pixel basis, resulting in a sharper, more realistic image that is brighter - even in a well-lit room.
- Ultra-Low Reflection Technology: By utilizing ultra-low reflection technology that blocks more than 99% of external light which interferes with television viewing, accurate colors and details are consistently preserved, even in bright environments. Certified by UL as "Glare Free", you can be confident the LG OLED TV performs great no matter the room or the lighting.
- Ultra Wide Viewing Angle The LG 4th gen OLED evo panel also offers an ultra wide viewing angle, so everyone in the room will have an ideal view of the action with vivid color and excellent contrast.
- Human Friendly: LG's 4th gen OLED evo panel aims to deliver natural light for its viewers with "Low Blue Light" and "Flicker Free" verifications from UL Solutions.
Note: The 4th gen OLED evo panel comes with a 5 year warranty (panel only; labor cost not included). The rest of the TV's parts and labor come with a 1 year warranty.
a11 (Gen 2) AI Processor 4K: LG, the industry leaders of OLED TVs, made their OLED evo panel televisions even better by developing the a11 (Gen 2) AI Processor 4K. LG's most powerful processor ever provides true-to-life images with incredibly rich colors, sharpness and depth to deliver the ultimate picture quality with more realism. As a result of this new image processor, the LG OLED TV can display any content at maximum quality for a truly spectacular viewing experience. The a11 (Gen 2) AI processor 4K provides a 70% improvement in graphic performance and a 30% faster processing speed compared to its a9 predecessor.
- Advanced Color Enhancer: The Advanced Color Enhancer utilizes advanced color mapping technology to effectively correct any color distortions and delivers a picture that is accurate, natural, and lifelike.
- Quad Step Noise Reduction: The a11 (Gen 2) AI Processor 4Kcreates a clearer image with LG's own Quad-step processing technology by reducing grain and banding noise better than many other conventional televisions.
- Frequency-Based Sharpness: The a11 (Gen 2) AI Processor 4K's sharpness enhancer boosts fine detail and texture by accentuating the edges of the object in the picture. This creates greater depth, exceptional details, and more realistic pictures .
- Object Depth Enhancer: The object depth enhancer precisely separates the main object from the background images and analyzes textures and edges. This is then processed differently to make detection clearer and the edges even sharper. It elevates the perceived depth of the whole picture and reveals hidden details.
AI Picture Pro: AI Picture Pro heightens picture quality with its deep learning algorithm (developed from a vast database of over one million visual data) which recognizes content source quality and determines the best upgrade method for optimal visual output. In addition to content source detection, the a11 (Gen 2) AI Processor 4K finely adjusts the tone mapping curve in accordance with ambient conditions to offer optimized screen brightness; leveraging its ability to understand how the human eye perceives images in different lighting. The processor uses the TV's ambient light sensor to measure light levels, automatically adjusting brightness to compensate as needed. Additional AI Modes include Personalized Picture Wizard, Filmmaker Mode, and Dolby Vision IQ.
- Personalized Picture Wizard: The AI-powered Personalized Picture Wizard goes beyond offering several picture presets to ensure images always look precisely how the user wants them to look. You'll simply select a few options that best reflect your ideal picture settings and preferences from a set of images, whether that be with warmer or cooler color tones or with sharper versus more softened images. Subtle variations of these selections combine to create more than 85 million preset possibilities. The Picture Wizard's AI technology then picks out the best option based on the your specific selections, as well as providing descriptions of your picture preferences with easy-to-understand key words such as bright, warm and clear.
- Filmmaker Mode: The Filmmaker Mode provides optimized cinema picture quality certified by UHD Alliance, the standard setting body for UHD-related technologies. The UHD Alliance Filmmaker Mode lets you see a director's vision for his or her movie by translating the director's cinematic vision to the TV with automatic picture and processor settings that deliver true authenticity. Filmmaker Mode even works with the TV's built-in ambient light sensor to maintain the filmmaker's original intent, delivering a truly cinematic experience in various lighting conditions.
- Dolby Vision IQ: Dolby Vision IQ combines the dynamic metadata found in Dolby Vision content with the LG OLED TV's embedded light sensor and AI technology. Dolby Vision IQ will automatically adjust picture settings with precision detail for your Dolby Vision content depending on your room's ambient lighting conditions and content genre.
Ultra HD 4K Resolution w/ AI Super Upscaler: The LG OLED TV has a display resolution of 3,840 x 2,160 (4K) and will display all video at that resolution through its built-in AI Super Upscaler, regardless of input signal. 4K provides four times higher resolution than current 1080p high-definition TVs with a total of 8.3 million pixels. This upgraded AI Super Upscaler utilizes precise pixel-level image analysis, to effectively sharpen objects and backgrounds that may appear blurry - delivering a more clear and vibrant viewing experience. 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.
HDR with Dynamic Tone Mapping Pro: HDR (High Dynamic Range video) reproduces a greater dynamic range of luminosity or brightness levels, bringing greater contrast and wider color spectrum to the screen. This increased contrast reveals the subtle nuances of the image, from detailed blacks and shadows to the brightest whites and colors, plus greater depth. Dynamic Tone Mapping Pro technology is used to further reveal hidden details and bring greater depth to every frame by precisely optimizing the brightness and contrasts across the entire screen. Dynamic Tone Mapping Pro splits pictures into blocks and fine-tunes brightness and contrast by analyzing variations in brightness where light enters the scene, creating images that look more three-dimensional. Additionally, the HDR Expression Enhancer, detects and refines important on-screen objects (e.g., people's faces) in each scene; giving them a more lifelike quality with enhanced sharpness and three-dimensionality by applying tone mapping based on deep learning.
- Dolby Vision: Dolby Vision Content has dynamic metadata that is produced during content creation, capturing the dynamic properties of each scene. This dynamic metadata is used to optimize the picture brightness curve on a frame-by-frame basis. Dolby Vision is the preferred HDR format by major Hollywood Studios and delivers the cinematic experience the creator intended by optimizing the picture frame-by-frame.
- HDR10: HDR10 is an open standard and currently the most popular HDR format on the market. It supports 10-bit color and 1,000 nits. It uses static metadata at the start of a movie to tell the receiver and your TV that the video content is encoded using HDR.
- HLG: HLG (Hybrid-Log Gamma) is primarily designed for live video feed and over-the-air broadcasts. It uses no pre-encoded metadata and is backwards compatible with SDR. HLG's native compatibility allows much of today's existing SDR infrastructure to be re-used for HDR in the future.
OLED Motion with ClearMR Certification: The a11 (Gen 2) Processor 4K is designed to support high frame rate (HFR) for producing smoother and clearer motion images at 120 frames-per-second (fps) for better rendering of fast-action video content such as sports and action movies, as well as 165 frames-per-second (fps) for fast-action PC gaming. In addition, OLED Motion (LG's most advanced motion handling technology) helps even further to deliver smooth motion with less stuttering during fast motion scenes. As a result, fast action motion video for sports, movies, and games is dependably crystal clear and virtually blur-free. LG's OLED evo panel gains even further credibility for their razor-sharp picture quality and smooth motion with the Video Electronics Standards Association's (VESA) ClearMR certification.
Game Optimization: OLED TV technology features an incredible low input lag and fast 1ms response time with reduced blurring and added clarity, making it perfect for gaming. The TV also supports VRR (Variable Refresh Rate), ALLM (Auto Low Latency Mode), and HGiG for an optimized gaming experience. You can even toggle between NVIDIA G-Sync and AMD FreeSync technologies for a smooth game experience. Support for NVIDIA G-SYNC and AMD FreeSync enables the TV to match the frame rate from a compatible gaming PC, Xbox, or PlayStation gaming console. Together, these features and technologies allow for fast-moving content with higher resolution, smoother graphics, and no screen tearing.
- ALLM (Auto Low Latency Mode): ALLM lets a game console or PC send a signal to the LG TV which will cause it to automatically switch to a low-latency, low-lag mode for smooth gaming.
- VRR (Variable Refresh Rate): VRR reduces or eliminates lag, judder and frame tearing for more fluid and better detailed gameplay. VRR enables a gaming source such as a console or computer to deliver video frames as fast as it can, which in many cases is slower than the normal static refresh rate.
- HGiG: HGIG (HDR Gaming Interest Group) is a standard for setting color tone and contrast as intended by game developers.
HDMI 2.1: The LG OLED TV is equipped with four HDMI 2.1 inputs. The HDMI 2.1 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.

- HDCP 2.3: HDCP 2.3 is supported by all of the TV's HDMI inputs. HDCP 2.3 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: All of the HDMI inputs will support up to 4:4:4 chroma subsampling for full color data rendering of 4K video. 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 will need to enable this feature in the menu. 4:2:2 and 4:2:0 are also supported by any of the HDMI inputs, by default.
- QMS: Quick Media Switching (QMS) for movies and video uses the HDMI VRR mechanism to eliminate the blackout period when an HDMI Source device switches its video mode. As long as the resolution remains the same and only the frame rate changes, QMS will instantly switch between frame rates.
Note: There are no analog video inputs.
