LG has unveiled the pricing and release plans for some of its 2019 OLED TV lineup, basically mirroring the company’s playbook from last year. These are some of the very best TVs you can buy, so LG is continuing to price them as such.

The 2019 C9 (65-inch, 55-inch) and E9 (65-inch) series TVs will start shipping in April. The 77-inch model of the C9 and 55-inch E9 will hit stores a bit later in May and June, respectively. And this year’s update to LG’s “wallpaper” TVs — to be available in 65- and 75-inch sizes — will come out in June.

(If you were wondering, no, there’s still not at a firm price or release date for the stunning rollable TV.)

LG’s TV branding can be pretty confusing, but all of these TVs fundamentally share the same display quality and the latest features that the company first announced at CES: that includes AirPlay 2, built-in support for Amazon Alexa voice commands, improved image processing, and more. LG claims itself as the only major TV manufacturer offering both Alexa and Google Assistant out of the box, whereas some other brands (Samsung, Roku TVs, etc.) only support them through external speakers you might already own.

The TVs also feature HDMI 2.1, future-proofing them for any content (and just about any frame rate) that might be coming down the pipe over the next several years.

But they differ in what’s around the screen; the E9 series has glass on all four sides, most noticeably at the bottom. The C9 doesn’t get quite that fancy. And the W9 (wallpaper) series puts the same display into a design that’s almost unfathomably thin.

LG has said only its 2019 TVs will gain AirPlay 2 and HomeKit functionality; other TV makers including Samsung and Vizio are also adding the useful feature to their older sets. It’d be nice if the company would reconsider this, but I’m not holding out hope.

Below are the prices and release months for the C9, E9, and W9 LG OLED ThinQ TVs. I’d advise against buying them soon after launch, as LG’s OLEDs tend to see big markdowns near the end of the year.

LG C9 OLED 4K TVs:

77-inch: $6,999 (May)

65-inch: $3,499 (April)

55-inch: $2,499 (April)

LG E9 OLED 4K TVs:

65-inch: $4,299 (April)

55-inch: $3,299 (June)

LG W9 Wallpaper OLED 4K TVs:

77-inch: $12,999 (June)

65-inch: $6,999 (June)

      LG OLED Infuses Seoul’s Art Scene With Bold Artistry and Cutting-Edge Innovation
      By News Reporter
      Widely recognized by artists as the ultimate digital canvas, LG OLED continues to push the boundaries of artistic exploration and inspiration through art installations that defy convention. While LG OLED captivates art enthusiasts globally through its visionary artist collaborations, the dynamic and unique artistic spirit of Seoul remains a key source of the company’s inspiration.
      Aligning with this sentiment, Seoul Art Week, which recently held a series of art festivities that included world-famous Frieze Seoul, provided the opportune moment to demonstrate its profound dedication to Korea’s vibrant cultural landscape.
      As Frieze Seoul’s official headline partner for the second consecutive year, LG captured the hearts of art aficionados worldwide with a collaborative exhibition, Suh Se Ok X LG OLED: Reimagined by Suh Do Ho, Shaped by Suh Eul Ho, that honored the creative legacy of Suh Se Ok, the late Korean abstract ink painter revered for his exquisite brushwork and poignant human forms.

      As a heartfelt homage to a true master of his craft, this exhibition reunited Suh with his two sons, artist Suh Do Ho and architect Suh Eul Ho, for a touching reimagination of his iconic masterpieces through the creative lens of his kin. To ensure the Suh brothers had all the tools required to create something befitting their father, LG provided its transparent OLED TVs as a groundbreaking artistic medium that can explore the infinite possibilities and depth of ink painting in a whole new dimension.

      Acclaimed installation artist Suh Do Ho brought his father’s Circle of Life and Wayfarer artworks to life through distinctive animated shorts, with a stunning installation comprised of eight transparent OLED TVs serving as a mesmerizing backdrop. The ethereal, lucid screens created the illusion of a floating canvas to curate a captivating, multi-dimensional experience that seamlessly blended physical and digital mediums.

      On the other hand, Architect Suh Eul Ho took creative rein as the exhibition’s spatial designer. Leveraging the pristine images of LG OLED and the dynamic possibilities of transparent displays, he was able to meticulously arrange the artworks to form one cohesive, awe-inspiring experience. This way, visitors could fully appreciate the individual layers of each piece while admiring an expansive view of the space’s ever-shifting landscape.

      For the first time in its long history of collaborations with artists, LG’s innovative transparent OLED TVs became an integral part of the artwork. These cutting-edge screens, which are unrivalled when it comes to harmonizing original artworks with their digital reinterpretations, blend timeless legacy with creative innovation like no other can.
      In addition to the seamless fusion of art and technology on show at Frieze Seoul, LG reinforced its commitment to Seoul’s art scene by sponsoring several more events during Seoul Art Week. At the K11 Moon Party, which celebrated Korea’s Moon Festival and debuted the K11 Art Foundation’s first generative art exhibition Lunar Water, LG’s state-of-the-art OLED screens illuminated the city with immersive visual experiences that accentuate the digital artworks on display.

      Poignantly intersecting cultural tradition and modern artistic expression, artists a’strict, Tyler Hobbs and Cheng Ran shared their unique interpretations of the moon and its mysteries: a’strict’s Waterfall — Sands presented a majestic visual representation of a cascading waterfall; Tyler Hobbs pioneering NFTs Fidenza #575 and #938 explored the union of digital and analogue art; and Cheng Ran first-ever generative artwork, Self-miracle, presented a reimagined version of his film, In Course of the Miraculous. Meanwhile, LG’s dazzling OLED displays highlighted the full potential of featured works, with the moon’s magic seemingly descending to Earth in an unforgettable way.
      In support of another cultural initiative held during Seoul Art Week, LG’s OLED screens were once again transformed into digital canvases, this time for the National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art’s (MMCA) Connecting Bodies exhibition, the first of many projects to be undertaken under LG’s three-year partnership with the museum.
      Exploring the concepts of connectivity and the digital evolution of our physical forms, this exhibition utilized LG OLED’s unmatched visuals to showcase immersive, interactive installations that respond in unique ways to movement and touch. Through groundbreaking technology, this unique exhibition ushers in a new era of art – an age where boundaries between the physical and digital worlds blend seamlessly through new creative mediums.
      Although Seoul Art Week may have come to a successful close, the LG OLED ART journey, as well as the creative possibilities of LG’s cutting-edge screens, continue to live on to inspire and astound the masses throughout 2024 and beyond. To follow every step of this journey, stay tuned to

      By News Reporter
      Company’s Latest Appliances for the European Market Deliver Outstanding
      Performance With Impressive Energy Savings

      SEOUL, Sep. 2 2024 — At IFA 2024, LG Electronics (LG) is set to unveil its latest lineup of home appliances boasting industry-leading energy efficiency. Designed in response to the European Union’s ongoing efforts to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050, and aligned with the REPowerEU plan to reduce EU member countries’ dependency on fossil fuels, the new appliances leverage LG’s advanced core technologies to provide superb performance with reduced power consumption.
      Industry-Leading Energy Efficiency with AI-Enhanced Laundry Solutions
      LG’s latest washing machine and dryer set new standards for energy efficiency. The washing machine is able to perform a new drum motion that helps deliver clean laundry while minimizing the energy consumption of its Artificial Intelligence Direct Drive (AI DD) motor. The washer intelligently adjusts the motor’s RPM in real-time, contributing to the appliance’s impressive A-55 percent energy rating1 and preventing laundry from tangling or twisting. Additionally, LG’s new washing machine comes with a Microplastic Care cycle that reduces the shedding of microplastics from laundry,2 as well as the ezDispense feature, which automatically dispenses the right amount of detergent for each load.
      Meanwhile, the efficient, new dryer has an A+++-26 percent energy rating.3 Both of LG’s latest laundry appliances are equipped with AI-driven innovations; the washing machine’s AI DD motor and AI Wash feature offer enhanced fabric-sensing capabilities and strong performance, while the dryer’s AI Dry provides accurate moisture detection and optimal drying for a range of different materials and laundry items. The washing machine can also automatically set cycle and temperature options based on usage patterns and change the order in which cycles are displayed on the control panel (according to usage-frequency) for a more convenient user experience.
      Refrigerators with High Efficiency and Premium Design
      Offering the lowest energy consumption of any refrigerator currently on the market, the new LG bottom-freezer refrigerator has an A-25 percent energy rating4 and brings style to the kitchen with its premium flat door design. In addition, the new model generates only 29dB during operation for a more peaceful kitchen environment. To give European customers greater choice, LG is expanding its line of highly efficient refrigerators, introducing a large capacity side-by-side model5 in addition to the new bottom-freezer. The new side-by-side refrigerator offers convenient features, such as the company’s unique Craft Ice spherical-ice maker, and easy hygiene management with UVnano technology.
      Convenient and Efficient Kitchen Solution
      Along with A++ energy efficiency,6 LG’s new 60-centimeter (24-inch) built-in InstaView oven presents a variety of cutting-edge features and AI technologies to elevate the culinary experience. The oven provides a total of 80 Auto Cook modes, and, with Gourmet AI, can identify the dish being cooked through its built-in camera, and automatically select the appropriate cooking mode from a database of 30 recipes. Making life in the kitchen that much easier, LG’s InstaView technology lets users check on their meal’s progress without even having to open the door, helping to preserve the temperature inside the oven and prevent energy waste.
      Incorporating the company’s power-saving Inverter Direct Drive Motor, the new LG QuadWash dishwasher has an energy efficiency rating of A-20 percent.7 The dishwasher also enhances convenience with its Side Rack and 3rd Rack options, offering users the loading flexibility to accommodate a variety of different kitchenware.
      “LG’s latest appliances meet growing European demand for energy efficient home solutions while simultaneously delivering superior performance and a more convenient life,” said Lyu Jae-cheol, president of LG Electronics Home Appliance & Air Solution Company. “We will continue to leverage our advanced core technologies, including inverter and component solutions, to deliver an expanded lineup of appliances with industry-leading energy efficiency.”

      Lg oled C3 has low speed connection ethernet
      By Trung Hiếu Trần
      Specs: LG OLED 55C3
      Router speed: 250mbps
      System: webOS 2.3
      I have an issue with the connection when testing the speed via the web browser in webOS. Both Ethernet and Wi-Fi connections (I also used 5 GHz) have very low speed: 17 Mbps. I tried changing to use USB to LAN (USB 2.0) to at least reach 100 Mbps, but it doesn't seem to be working.
      Any ideas on how to fix it?

      Latest software update broke HDMI on my LG OLED G2?
      By OliverRC
      Up until a few days ago my TV and AVR have been working perfectly since I bought it.
      Zero hassles with HDMI and connectivity.
      Then I was prompted to update to the latest software version which I did and now often when I switch HDMI (running on 1) it picks up the device name, CEC works but I get “No Signal”… and then nothing.
      Just stays on “No Signal”. It is almost as if some HDMI handshake breaks and now the driver is in a broken state.
      I’ve found that if I hard power off and power on the device sometimes works but I don’t want to do that every time especially since it’s hard to get to the power.
      This really strikes me as a software issue with the latest update as absolutely nothing else has changed in my setup.
      I’ve tried:
      Different HDMI cables (high quality) Deep colour settings Reset the TV to factory default Different HDMI ports TV
      Model: OLED65G26LA / OLED65G26LA.HFBQLWK WebOS TV Version: 8.3.0.2301 Software Version: 13.30.56 AVR & Devices
      Marantz SR5015 Nvidia Shield Pro PS5
        The setup is the conventional AVR installation as shown in the attached file

       
      Has anyone else experienced this? 
      Is it possible to revert the software update?
