ALL THE

BIGGEST

STORIES FROM

PLANET TECH

In ancient times (like, a decade ago) you had

two choices when it came to a flatscreen

TV: LCD or plasma. Things are much more

complicated now, with OLED, QNED Mini

LED and NanoCell tellies in LG’s 2021 range;

but the pick of the bunch is the G1 series,

which uses OLED Evo tech – a new type of

luminous panel that LG reckons will make

the picture clearer, brighter, punchier and

more realistic than ever.

A new tripod-style Gallery Stand sets

things off with a bit more flexibility when

it comes to where you actually put it, while

LG’s new A9 Gen 4 AI processor promises

to do a load of nifty picture-polishing

business – and uses machine learning to

improve upscaling and analyse individual

scenes so they look more 3D. It has audio

benefits too, with AI-driven virtual 5.1.

surround sound up-mixing to get the

best out of the TV’s built-in speakers,

and Auto Volume Levelling keeping things

at a consistent level when you switch

between sources.

As you’d expect from a flagship telly, the

G1 series goes big with 55in, 65in and 77in

sizes – no doubt with prices to match – so

maybe it’s a good thing you don’t go out

and have fun any more.

As hot as... an incinerator full of 2020 TVs
