The bulk of the Signature range products fell into the appliance category. +45 more See all photos Premium appliances In terms of non-OLED TVs, we saw the Super UHD range announced ahead of CES, before the company went back to hyping the quality and importance of OLED. Pricing for the G6 series was not announced, although LG's rep told CNET that the 65-inch size should come in at "less than $10,000." It will ship in the first quarter of 2016. These TVs will be some of the first to sport the new logo. There's even a new Ultra HD certification for the products, Ultra HD Premium. Bright parts of the image can get much brighter, so the image seems to have more "depth." (Read a far more detailed explanation of why HDR is a good thing here.) Why are we excited about HDR? Well High Dynamic Range means that the range of both contrast and colour get significantly expanded. The newer sets also offer a somewhat wider colour gamut and compatible with Dolby Vision HDR, in addition to the HDR 10 standard that the 2015 sets supported. There's also the "lesser" curved C6 and the flat B6.

The highest-end model, the G6 (available in 77- and 65-inch sizes), has a sleek detachable speaker bar that can be mounted behind the TV when wall-mounted.

This year, however, the company paint fairly broad strokes, discussing its SmartThinQ IOT platform, as well as mentioning some new interoperability with other products such as Nest and ADT. Once again LG spoke of the Internet of Things, a big focus for its CES presentation last year. The company is supplying eleven core components for General Motor's next electric car, along with other manufacturers. With the LG sensor tech, cars will be able to detect road conditions in real time, over both short and long distances. ![]() "We developed various display technology specifically for cars," Ahn said, noting that LG has a "large patent portfolio" that expands to radios and sensors. Skott Ahn introduced the automotive tech, saying that LG would improve the way cars show you information, the way cars see the world around them and the way cars communicate. The Korean electronics giant kicked off the show with a somewhat less exciting refrain: car tech and Internet of Things. The undeniable star of 2015 was the Twin Wash, and LG didn't disappoint this year, showing a off a new super-premium version of the washing machine.īut you don't play your greatest hits at the start of the gig.
