LG Electronics today launched a range of AI ThinQ TVs with built-in support for Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant and Apple AirPlay 2.

The new range includes a number of new TV models from the company's SMART, LED, UHD, NanoCell and OLED AI ThinQ series. About sizes, new TVs start at 80 cm or 32 inches, up to 195 cm or 77 inches - the price varies between Rs 24,990 and Rs 10,99990.

OLED TVs start at a price of Rs 2,09,990, while the UHD series starts at Rs 50,990 and NanoCell TVs can be purchased at a price of Rs 82,990.

Alexa and Google Assistant integrated media are only available on UHD, NanoCell and OLED TVs. LG, in fact, claims to be the only brand of TVs to support both AI assistants without requiring additional hardware on its TVs. LG also said that some of the features of the AI ​​will be available after the software updates.

Users can also use Alexa routines on supported TVs and associate actions such as controlling their smart lighting, just as users can do with other Alexa-enabled devices. Users can also listen to music, listen to audiobooks and even use more than 20,000 Alexa skills already available on the Alexa Skill store.

For those who prefer Google Assistant to Amazon Alexa, LG's new TVs also offer it. Just like Alexa, users can select their favorite programs, ask questions and control smart home compatible devices with the wizard. With Intelligent Voice Control, users can talk in the LG Magic Remote to search for programs, change TV settings, change to different inputs, and more.

This is not everything. Apple AirPlay 2 and HomeKit support is also available in LG 2019 OLED TVs and select NanoCell TVs. With the support of AirPlay 2, users can watch content such as videos and photos on the Apple TV app and other video applications on compatible LG TVs connected to a Apple device. With Apple HomeKit, customers will be able to control the latest range of televisions with ThinQ AI by interacting with Siri or the Home app.

All OLED and NanoCell TVs are powered by LG's Alpha 9 Gen 2 processor and in-depth learning technology. LG claims that this technology allows the processor to optimize images by recognizing the quality of the source and implementing an algorithm to display the images. The company says that the processor can analyze the ambient conditions to set the optimal brightness levels of the screen. In addition, the artificial intelligence capabilities of the Alpha 9 Gen 2 processor are also known to adjust the audio according to the type of content, making the dialogue of movies and television more coherent.

While the AI ​​can adjust the audio settings, users can also make manual adjustments. The TVs are also compatible with Technicolor, HDR10 Pro, HLG Pro HDR and Dolby Atmos.
