Launching in 65-inch and 77-inch models, the UltraHD display boasts 33 million sub-pixels across a curved screen, flagging the company's intentions for the next generation of display technology.</p> <p>Like its previous OLED models – both <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20140827100804/http://www.gizmag.com/samsung-lg-unveil-curved-oled-televisions/25713/" target="_blank">curved</a> and <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20140827100804/http://www.gizmag.com/lg-oled-tv-launch/25602/" target="_blank">flat</a> – LG's 4K OLED TV uses the company's Four-Color Pixel WRGB technology. This sees a white sub-pixel joining the conventional red, green and blue sub-pixels to deliver what LG claims as "the most lifelike colors and infinite contrast ratio," without flickering or blurred edges. The new TV also boasts a multi-channel surround sound system designed in collaboration with Harman Kardon and can be either wall mounted or supported by its leaf-shaped stand.</p> <p>"OLED TVs are expected to overtake LCD in sales within a few years and no company is better prepared for this than LG,” claims Hyun-hwoi Ha, president and CEO of LG’s Home Entertainment Company. “OLED’s benefits are obvious. There’s no deterioration in picture quality and issues such as image blurring, distortion and color leakage in curved LED units are simply non-existent on curved OLED TVs."</p> <p>LG will start taking pre-orders for both the 65 and 77-inch models in Korea this week, with North American and European markets to follow soon after. There's no official word from LG on pricing just yet, though <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20140827100804/http://www.engadget.com/2014/07/31/lg-65-inch-4k-oled-tv/" target="_blank">Engadget</a> reported last month that the 65-inch model will retail for US$8,999.</p> <p>Source: <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20140827100804/http://www.lgnewsroom.com/newsroom/contents/64643" target="_blank">LG</a></p> <!-- INTEL BANNER --> <span class="title share_bar">Share</span> <div id="article_share_bar" class="dotsontop share_bar"> <div class="as_button fb_as_button"><div class="fb-like" data-href="http://www.gizmag.com/lg-curved-4k-oled-tvs/33495/" data-send="false" data-layout="box_count" data-show-faces="false"></div><script type="text/javascript">_ga.trackFacebook();</script></div> <div class="as_button"><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20140827100804/http://twitter.com/share" class="twitter-share-button" data-count="vertical" data-via="gizmag">Tweet</a></div> <div class="as_button"><div class="g-plusone" data-size="tall" data-href="http://www.gizmag.com/lg-curved-4k-oled-tvs/33495/"></div></div> <div class="as_button stumble_as_button"><iframe style="overflow: hidden; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; " src="https://web.archive.org/web/20140827100804if_/http://badge.stumbleupon.com/badge/embed/5/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.gizmag.com%2Flg-curved-4k-oled-tvs%2F33495%2F" width="50" height="60" id="iframe-stmblpn-widget-2"></iframe></div> <div class="as_button"><div class="pin-it-button" data-url="https://web.archive.org/web/20140827100804oe_/http://www.gizmag.com/lg-curved-4k-oled-tvs/33495/" data-image="http://images.gizmag.com/hero/lg_4k_oled_tvs-3.jpg" data-description="LG has commenced presales of the first OLED TV with 4K resolution.

Somewhere between enduring a winter in the Canadian Rockies and trekking through Chilean Patagonia, he graduated from university and pursued a career in journalism. He now writes for Gizmag, excited by tech and all forms of innovation, Melbourne's bizarre weather and curried egg sandwiches. <a href="/web/20140827100804/http://www.gizmag.com/author/nick-lavars/">All articles by Nick Lavars</a> <span id="author_byline_links"> <!-- RSS Link --> <!-- <span class="bootbtn" id="rss-author-button"> <a></a> </span> --> <!-- Author Twitter Link --> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20140827100804/http://twitter.com/NickLavars" class="twitter-follow-button" data-show-count="false" data-size="large">Follow @NickLavars</a> </span> <br class="clear_both"> </div> <!-- Tags --> <div id="tags"> <span class="title">Tags</span> <div class="dotsontop"> <ul> <li>» <a href="/web/20140827100804/http://www.gizmag.com/tag/4k-uhd/" rel="tag">4K UHD</a></li> <li>» <a href="/web/20140827100804/http://www.gizmag.com/tag/lg/" rel="tag">LG</a></li> <li>» <a href="/web/20140827100804/http://www.gizmag.com/tag/oled/" rel="tag">OLED</a></li> <li>» <a href="/web/20140827100804/http://www.gizmag.com/tag/tv/" rel="tag">TV</a></li> <li>» <a href="/web/20140827100804/http://www.gizmag.com/tag/ultra-hd/" rel="tag">Ultra HD</a></li> </ul> <div class="clear_both"></div> </div> </div> <div id="bing_unit"><!-- bing_unit --></div> <!-- Comments --> <span class="title" id="comments">8 Comments</span> <div class="dotsontop"> <div id="comment-332251" class="a_comment"> <p>Finally OLED starts to appear. </p> <span class="name">DaveBG</span><br> <span class="date"> 25th August, 2014 @ 12:33 am PDT</span> </div> <div id="comment-332302" class="a_comment"> <p>US$8,999 is relatively cheap compared to earlier Samsung and Sony offers. </p> <p>Still not going to rush out for it until its in the low 2k range </p> <p>Probably end of 2016 at this rate : ) </p> <p></p> <p>Still, when you compare it to a decent 4k LED same size right now for 4-5k that will be 3k end of this year, you have to think if its worth the wait. </p> <span class="name">Nairda</span><br> <span class="date"> 25th August, 2014 @ 03:23 am PDT</span> </div> <div id="comment-332548" class="a_comment"> <p>Can someone explain the curved design? </p> <span class="name">moreover</span><br> <span class="date"> 25th August, 2014 @ 10:04 pm PDT</span> </div> <div id="comment-332626" class="a_comment"> <p>The curved design is essentially a gimik to attract buyers. It has no real value except for someone sitting dead center. If you like I watch TV at a slight angle it would create a strange warping effect. If your TV is bent / curved it is defective, take it back. The intent is to make it more IMAX / Immersive like but CNET did a test and found that while most people didn't notice it those sitting at off angles noticed a bow tie shape and some distortion. YMMV IMHO and all that but here is the link to the CNET article or search for (google: curved tv) and it should be in the top 10 (if the link is for some reason not allowed : <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20140827100804/http://www.cnet.com/news/trouble-with-the-curve-what-you-need-to-know-about-curved-tvs/">http://www.cnet.com/news/trouble-with-the-curve-what-you-need-to-know-about-curved-tvs/</a> </p> <p></p> <p></p> <span class="name">slarmas</span><br> <span class="date"> 26th August, 2014 @ 08:43 am PDT</span> </div> <div id="comment-332647" class="a_comment"> <p>"Curves are attractive to men because they signal - fertility and health." </p> <p></p> <p><a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20140827100804/http://www.jeraldinephneah.me/2014/04/scientific-reasons-why-curves-and.html">http://www.jeraldinephneah.me/2014/04/scientific-reasons-why-curves-and.html</a> </p> <p></p> <p>:-) </p> <span class="name">Pat Pending</span><br> <span class="date"> 26th August, 2014 @ 09:32 am PDT</span> </div> <div id="comment-332659" class="a_comment"> <p>if only it wasn't curved and a third of the price I might buy one.

Full HD smartphones have already moved on to 300% and some with the 2.5K displays are at 400%. If you want 2560x1440 desktop space like I do then even at only 300% this already requires the next generation 7680x4320 television standard. </p> <span class="name">revetahw</span><br> <span
