Featured in the majority of this year’s TVs is LG’s latest intelligent processor, α (Alpha) 9 Gen 4 AI.2 Integrating improved deep learning, the upgraded processor boosts upscaling performance to make content of any quality look sharp and detailed on the new TVs’ high-resolution screens. The α9 Gen 4 further optimizes visual output, making precise adjustments in accordance with the amount of light in each scene, the genre of content playing and ambient conditions in the viewing environment.
Picture quality is further improved with LG AI Picture Pro which recognizes the objects onscreen and processes them independently to bring three-dimensionality and depth to every scene. Additionally, AI Sound Pro up-mixes two-channel audio to virtual 5.1.2 surround while Auto Volume Leveling ensures a consistent volume when switching between channels or streaming apps.
The user experience offered by LG’s newest TVs is now more convenient than ever thanks to webOS 6.0, the latest version of the company’s intuitive smart TV platform. Revamped and refined for 2021, the new webOS user interface provides faster access to apps as well as simpler content discovery with finely-tuned personalized recommendations. And a redesigned Magic Remote has dedicated hot keys for popular content providers, allowing users to jump to their favorite services with just a quick push of a button.
Select TV series, models and sizes will begin rolling out to participating retailers in the first quarter continuing throughout the year with specific dates and lineups announced locally.

funny how this equals lot of customers i had looking at 4k tvs stating they are useless.
then i showed the same (1080p) content (pics/vid) on the same tv side by side (65in, one in 1080p, one in UHD).
after that no one ever said it looked better on the FHD unit/that they couldnt see the difference.

Retina display size for 4k is only 16"
To get a retina display for 65" we'll need 16k TV's.
We'll all be using 16k TV's one day.

Did you actually watch the attached video?
Yes, of course CRT is hell for the eyes and I wonder if they did any permanent damage to my eyes, but the image quality perceived by the brain is tons higher than flat pannel displays, which is my point, not that I would go back to CRT whatsoever.
I saw the video yes, I believe they were a bit nostalgic, and they're correct about some aspects, but I would never go back.
I personally don't see any difference between 1440p 27 inch and a 4k 27 inch. Why I went with 1440p since its cheaper to drive it. However I can tell a huge difference going from 1080p to 1440p.
I see a big difference in text rendering, ironically not as much in media.
For monitors and TV anything with more density than 111 ppi and mobile phone with more than 333 ppi is overkill, gimmick. Maximum perspective of 666 ppi is acceptable for the human eye due to its limitations.
That's why you need gpus like 3090 for more clarity per inch due to enforced 4k?


Ironically, I didn't pay neither for the 4k monitor, nor for the laptop driving it. I only play demanding games with my actual rig on the TV (which is a 4k OLED and working fine in most things at 1140p with a 1070).
The monitor is driven by a 2019 16" MacBook Pro, and the difference in text clarity between 1440p and 4k is immediately noticeable.
On the other hand, Windows apps who don't scale well look like crap, but that's totally irrelevant for work which is mostly done on macOS and Arch.
As for the 3090, it was s gift to myself after a long time of hard work. I had at fairly low spec system before, but not being able to afford a high frame rate at 4k didn't mean I was suddenly blind to the difference :p

I had a CRT 19" Sony in the attic and tried it around 2015 I didn't last long, yes the black were good but omg the blur and that was when I only had 1080p
no CRT don't look amazing >< they look awful..must be "one of those" that think TAA is "ultra" when all it does is blur the whole screen down to an inferior resolution, sharpness > all
black frame insertion technology + lcd/oled screen is superior in every way to a CRT
oled 4K 55"+ tvs are awesome with the right content....which means no modern movies as 99% of them are 2K upscaled (because of cgi rendering times) the real quality ones are 1980-2000 movies remastered in 4K or youtube channels like :
Jacob + Katie Schwarz
Bashir Abu Shakra
Birder King
TheSilentWatcher
Nature Relaxation Films
after buying an lg oled 4k I went once to the movie theater and it felt like I was drunk or losing eyesight

Says you, I see difference between 1080p and 40 and even 32 vs 4K of same size just fine, More PPI the better image, small the screen get more dense ppi better image looks.
32" 4k look better then 55" 4k cause of the dense PPI alone, 32" does not have same look as 55" simply cause it bigger, but PPI suffer and as such so does image, Bigger screen need higher res to match image and PPI has small screens
They said same crap about 1080p that is ment for bigg screen and was useless for small screens and that people cant see the difference, it was BS then and BS now
