CES 2024 is rapidly approaching next week where we expect to learn all about the new 2024 LG TVs. So far, we have already reported on LG’s 2024 QNED TVs, which offer incredible value for performance but can’t quite deliver the deepest black levels of OLED TVs. As the excitement for LG’s top-of-the-line 2024 OLED TVs builds, here’s what we know so far.
Update: Pricing added as of May 6, 2024.
2024 LG OLED TVs
LG will continue its range of 4K OLED TVs in 2024 across four series:
- 2023 B3 models will be replaced by 2024 B4 models (good with stand)
- 2023 C3 models will be replaced by 2024 C4 models (better with stand)
- 2023 G3 models will be replaced by 2024 G4 models (best with stand or wall-mount)
- 2023 M3 models will be replaced by 2024 M4 models (best with wireless)
Tip: All series offer 4K resolution.
LG is claiming that its 2024 OLED TV lineup will elevate viewer’s experience to a higher level. Compared to last year’s top models, LG is claiming 70% improved graphics and 30% faster processing. However, how that translates to real world viewing has yet to be determined.
The new additions to the OLED line-up incorporate enhanced AI processing bringing out the best of what OLED technology has to offer. Precise pixel-level image analysis is said to sharpen objects and backgrounds that may appear blurry in an effort to deliver more three dimensional images.
LG’s webOS smart TV platform provides tailored solutions and services with an expanded ecosystem featuring extended connectivity, offering unique encounters as a media and entertainment platform company.
Key Features (G4 & M4)
AI-Powered Performance: The LG SIGNATURE OLED M4 and LG OLED G4 TVs are equipped with the new α (Alpha) 11 AI processor, which effectively enhances picture and audio quality. This provides a 70 percent improvement in graphic performance and a 30 percent faster processing speed compared to its predecessor, the a9.
Tip: The G4 and M4 both use EVO panels and support Brightness Booster Max technology.
AI Upscaling: LG’s newest OLED TVs come with upgraded AI upscaling utilizing precise pixel-level image analysis, to effectively sharpen objects and backgrounds that may appear blurry.
Color Processing: The AI processor refines colors by analyzing frequently used shades that best convey the mood and emotional elements intended by filmmakers and content creators.
AI Picture Pro: This feature distinguishes faces, objects, and backgrounds within a scene, enriching the texture and fine details to present images with unparalleled realism.
Dynamic Tone Mapping Pro: This feature splits the picture into blocks and analyzes each in real-time to detect the darkest and brightest areas, elevating details with precise HDR optimization.
Personalized Picture Wizard: This feature enables users to further customize image quality by selecting a few preferred images from a given selection that are intelligently set up through deep learning.
AI Sound Pro: This provides viewers with up to 11.1.2 channel virtual surround sound from the TVs’ built-in speakers. In addition, LG’s WOW Orchestra feature integrates select LG Sound Bars with the TV’s speakers, providing a more immersive 3D sound experience. AI technology also separates vocals from the soundtrack to enhance the clarity of dialogue and elevates it so that it sounds like it coming directly from the TV screen.
Gaming: LG’s OLED models feature several gaming advantages including an impressive 4K 144Hz refresh rate and comprehensive HDMI 2.1 features. GameOptimizer is included to to let gamers easily switch between display presets designed for different gaming genres, and support NVIDIA G-SYNC ® Compatible and AMD FreeSync to eliminate immersion-breaking tearing and stuttering.
WebOS: Just like other LG smart TVs, the OLED line incorporates the webOS smart TV platform – in this case WebOS 24. This provides access to abundant streaming content (including LG Channels) and voice control, as well as allowing users to create individual profiles to tailor the viewing experience to their preferences. The TVs can differentiate between voices based on user profiles and offer personalized recommendations by interpreting patterns from their comprehensive usage history.
Within WebOS, Dynamic Q Card provides fast and easy access to its services, with the customized organization into groups, such as Home Office, Home Hub, Sports, and Games.
From Park Hyoung-sei, president of LG’s Home Entertainment Company: “Bolstered by a class-leading OLED TV and impressive QNED lineup, LG continues to assert its dominance in the premium TV market with the promise of the best possible customer experience through a distinguished selection of content and services available on the company’s webOS smart TV platform“
