LG has been the chief in OLED know-how for the perfect a part of a decade, however with the competitors now snapping at its heels, it went large at CES 2023 and unveiled the world’s first wi-fi OLED TV – the LG Signature OLED M.
The OLED M is actually an LG G3 that makes use of LG’s Zero Join know-how to ship a wi-fi AV transmission at a decision of 4K/120Hz. We obtained our eyes round it on the present ground and have been suitably wowed by what we noticed, however pricing has remained elusive… till now.
At this time, LG introduced the plans for its world roll out, confirming a September launch for the UK and Europe, and a launch in North America too, with actual timings to be confirmed.
The flagship mannequin is the 97-inch LG Signature OLED M – additionally the world’s largest OLED display – which is able to value £24,999 (round $31,800). And okay, that is fairly eye watering, however it can even be joined by 77- and 83-inch evo M fashions, which is able to value £5,999 (round $7,635) and £7,999 (about $10,170) respectively.
Whereas these costs are nonetheless removed from pocket change, contemplating the brand new know-how and display sizes included right here, it is not as excessive as I used to be anticipating – notably when you think about LG’s Z2 8K OLED launched final yr for £12,000 in its 77-inch display measurement, and an everyday 77-inch LG G3 is round £4,800 too.

All three sizes of TVs use the identical wi-fi know-how, for an nearly wire-free watch – and I say ‘nearly’ since you’ll nonetheless want an influence cable connected, after all.
Nevertheless, with that related, something you need to watch on the TV – whether or not that is content material from a set prime field, a Blu-ray participant, or video games console – you merely hook these sources as much as LG’s Zero Join field and have it streamed wirelessly to the TV at as much as 4K/120Hz, with the likes of Dolby Imaginative and prescient and Dolby Atmos additionally delivered wirelessly.
That is apparently all right down to LG’s proprietary wi-fi AV transmission resolution, which the corporate says can transmit giant quantities of knowledge at as much as 3 times the pace of the prevailing Wi-Fi 6E normal. The field identifies the optimum transmission path from its place at as much as 10 metres away, and has an adjustable antenna that may be positioned in accordance with the display’s location to assist issues alongside too.
This implies you’ll be able to place the remainder of your private home cinema equipment wherever is most handy in your room – leaving you with way more flexibility on the place to place your TV. Even higher, with LG’s flush-to-the-wall Gallery Design additionally at play right here, it makes the LG Signature OLED M (or LG M3 to its pals), an incredible candidate for wall mounting – although its placing stand design does look fairly pretty too.
We’ll deliver you all the small print on US pricing and availability as quickly as now we have it.
