LG recently debuted its MAGNIT 4K 136-inch luxury TV at CEDIA 2022 Home Technology Expo in Dallas, which combines AI-enhanced processing, a smart TV platform and Micro LED technology to promise a “home theater, digital art and entertainment experience.
LG’s MAGNIT 4K model uses a micro LED array instead of the LED-backlit LCD panels found in many traditional living room TVs to ensure long operating life, “superior brightness” and “amazing contrast and color.
And, because each individual diode can be completely disabled, black ends up actually being black. This is the kind of technology we see in Samsung’s large wall-mounted commercial display products as well as C-Seed’s luxury TVs.
With a peak brightness of 2,000 nits, this smart TV offers excellent performance and visibility even in rooms with high ambient light. The company’s Alpha 9 AI processor reduces noise on the screen while also adjusting saturation and contrast – in addition to adjusting brightness and tone mapping – based on lighting conditions in the room and is designed to bring faces and text to life as well. 120 Hz refresh rate should keep the visuals snappy.
The popular streaming entertainment app is available through LG’s webOS platform, supporting wireless screen sharing via AirPlay and Miracast from iOS, Android, macOS or Windows devices. There’s also a dedicated mobile app that allows the dominant screen in the room to become a user-curated digital art gallery. Other connectivity options include four HDMI ports, Ethernet LAN, two USB, digital outputs, and an RS232C serial port.
Great audio is as important to home entertainment as what’s on the screen, and LG has partnered with high-end hardware giant Bang & Olufsen to offer Beolab 90 speakers when selling displays through B&O stores.
