In addition to rebranding its subscription service, LG also held its Consumer Electronics Convention, which saw the launch of the QNED evo series of TVs, as well as the refreshed OLED evo line. All of these feature the latest in the company’s AI tech, which it has dubbed Affectionate Intelligence, in its bid to make its own AI tech less artificial, or so claims the company.
At the heart of the new TVs is a11 Gen2 processors, which features neural processing just under seven times faster than before. This provides the new TVs familiar features like automatic picture and sound optimisation, but also a couple of new ones like AI voice ID. This helps the TVs cater content to the specific user in the household based on voice recognition.
Moving on to the TVs themselves, we start with the OLED evo refreshes, with come in the C5 and G5 lines. While both of them are very slim in design, the former is arguably more conventional, coming with a stand while the latter pretty much expects to be mounted on a wall.
Both models support for NVIDIA G-Sync and AMD FreeSync Premium, with VRR support of up to 144Hz, only the G5 line can be pushed up to 165Hz. Also worth noting is that the G5 line is the only one using the new a11 Gen2 chip, while th C5 line keeps to the a9 Gen8.
For sizes, the LG OLED evo AI TV C5 ranges from 48 inches, going all the way up to 83 inches, with prices starting from RM6,499 according to the official site, and capping out at RM39,099. As for the OLED evo AI G5, your only choices are the 65-inch model which costs RM19,499, and the 77-inch model which costs RM32,499.
Finally, the LG QNED evo AI TVs come with the a8 Gen2 processor, and a size range of 65, 75 and 85 inches. While it’s a less intuitive name, QNED stands for Quantum Nano-Emitting Diode, which essentially means that these are mini LED TVs. Prices range from RM9,199 to RM19,499.
