LG continues to expand the availability of AirPlay 2 and HomeKit in the latest TV sets. The company today announced pricing and availability for its 2020 NanoCell line, which starts at $ 599 with AirPlay and HomeKit support.
In the typical LG style, the availability details are still somewhat vague. Only two options are available starting today. The first is the 86-inch model from the Nano90 series, which will set you back $ 3,299. The other option is the 49-inch Nano85 series, which comes to $ 649.
Perhaps the most interesting option for most is the 55-inch Nano81 series option. It will be available in May at $ 599, making it the most affordable option on the LG line, with support for HomeKit and AirPlay 2. All new LG TVs are powered by the company's ThinQ AI platform:
The ThinQ AI platform includes LG Assistant and Amazon Alexa built-in, as well as support for AirPlay2 and HomeKit. The Smart TV webOS platform offers access to high quality content from the world's top providers through popular applications and services such as Apple TV, Disney +, Netflix, LG channels and the newly added Movies Anywhere app.
