According to LG's announcement this morning at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, Nevada, the South Korean company has eight new models with 65 to 77-inch screen sizes, which is in line with its 88- and 75-inch screen sizes. .

The products are embedded in ThinQ voice recognition, WebOS operating system, and support for AirPlay 2, HomeKit, Google Assistant, and Amazon Alexa. Compatibility with Farce Field Voice ethnology from Amazon, Amazon Premium, comes with firmware updates in the future.

The 2020 line-up includes the following models:

  • SIGNATURE 8K OLED TVs Available in 77 and 88 inch screen sizes (88/77 OLED ZX models)
  • LG NanoCell TVs (models 75/65 Nano99, 75/65 Nano97, 75/65 Nano95) have panel sizes of 65 and 75 inches.

These TVs exceed the new 8K Ultra HD definition of the CTA, which requires a minimum threshold of 50 percent CM. Available ports include digital HDMI and USB inputs. Modern codecs such as HEVC, VP9 and AV1 are also supported. According to the announcement, the new TVs will support 8K streaming at 60FPS smoothly (they are certified to provide 8K 60P via HDMI).

And thanks to an upgraded third-generation Alpha 9 processor, which benefits from deep learning and 8K AI-based enhancement, you get optimized image and sound quality. The chip can recognize faces and text on the screen, "fine tuning and sharpening each one to produce more natural skin tones, well-defined facial features and clearer and more readable characters," LG notes.

Moreover, the automatic genre selection recognizes the type of content being watched and automatically applies the ideal image settings, guaranteeing the best image quality among four genres: film, sports, standard and animation.

It does a similar thing to improve sound quality by increasing the volume of spoken words, with identified background noise and the scene mixed with 5.1 virtual surround sound.

At CES last year, major TV manufacturers such as LG, Sony, Vizio, Samsung and others unexpectedly announced that firmware updates to their selected 2019 models would for the first time bring integration with AirPlay 2 and HomeKit.

Exclusive support for Apple features means that LG customers enjoy their Apple TV + subscription, control smart home devices, and mirror media on their iOS device, without requiring an Apple TV media box.
