LG Signature M Series OLED TV Recap
The LG Signature M Series OLED TV is the world’s first consumer TV with Zero Connect technology. This feature provides real-time wireless video and audio transmission at up to 4K @ 120Hz. The 97M3 delivers superior picture and sound quality as well as greater flexibility to install and connect.
Tip: What is an OLED TV?
Zero Connect technology eliminates the need to have cables and devices in close proximity to the screen. This means less clutter because all of your source devices connect to the included Zero Connect Box (which can be placed anywhere in your viewing room and transmits the signals to the built-in receiver in the 97M3’s 97-inch 4K UHD OLED display panel.
Tip: The Zero Connect Box has a 10-meter transmission distance. The box identifies the optimal transmission path and has an adjustable antenna that can be positioned according to the screen’s location.
The Zero Connect Box includes a full range of connection options including HDMI 2.1, USB, RF, LAN, and Bluetooth.
LG’s proprietary wireless transmission technology supports large amounts of data at up to 3 times the speed of the existing Wi-Fi 6E standard. Wireless transmission of Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos is also supported.
As part of LG’s SIGNATURE Series TV products, the OLED M series has an ultra-modern Gallery Design, which provides a seamless, flush-to-wall mount. Users can effectively eliminate the need to place a cabinet or table directly near the TV.
The LG M utilizes an LG Evo OLED panel and includes all of the video processing, smart features, user navigation, and gaming support as other LG OLED TVs (reportedly the same as the G3 series).
Tip: It is expected that the M3 will not include LG’s latest OLED Meta technology
