    LG's 2016 OLED TVs feature HDR Pro, assuring a superior HDR viewing experience, with increased contrast ratio and color range. LG's entire OLED line is expected to be among the industry's first to be certified as "Ultra HD Premium," meeting the stringent premium performance requirements just released by the UHD Alliance. The Ultra HD Premium certification applies only to products that meet the most demanding performance standards for resolution, peak luminance, black levels, wide color gamut and audio quality, among other criteria. LG 2016 OLED TV lineup supports the industry-standard HDR formats established by the world's leading broadcasters, film studios and consumer electronics manufacturers, such as HDR10 and DolbyVision™ HDR technology, making them among the first to be compatible with all formats.

    The G6 and E6 series are the first TVs to display the stunning picture quality of OLED on an elegant, stunningly slim glass panel. This unique Picture-On-Glass design is only possible with OLED technology and is ultra-thin, measuring just 2.57 millimeters (one-tenth of an inch), with a translucent glass back and powerful, forward-facing sound bar speaker system. By focusing on TV technologies directly related to picture and sound quality, both the G6 and E6 series represent a new level of home entertainment innovation. The stylish body of these flat-panel LG 4K OLED TVs with miniscule bezels and powerful sound capabilities add a touch of sophistication to any home environment, and provide a superior cinematic viewing experience.

    "Our 2016 OLED TV lineup features a long list of innovations, such as Picture-on-Glass design and HDR Pro, which are featured prominently in the G6 and E6 models," said Brian Kwon, President and CEO at LG's Home Entertainment Company. "By upping our OLED TV game every year, we are driving innovation in the TV space so that more consumers will see and hear about the benefits of owning an OLED TV. We think 2016 will be a game changing year for this category."

    LG OLED 4K TVs assure a superior HDR viewing experience, thanks to its unique ability to achieve perfect black to reveal even greater picture detail, reproducing images more like real life. The 2016 lineup's HDR capabilities are also enriched by OLED's Pixel Dimming technology. Unlike LCD displays where the LED backlight can only locally dim sections of the screen, each pixel on an OLED panel can switch on and off independently. As a result, OLED TVs render crisp, vibrant colors and rich shadow details, even when bright objects are directly next to deep, dark areas unlike the LCD TVs which have a halo effect from light bleeding. This ability ensures that images are displayed more like we see them in real life, making OLED TVs the ideal medium for HDR content.

    With 10-bit panel and 10-bit processing power, LG's OLED TVs can render more than a billion possible color variations. This, along with LG's Color Prime® Pro technology for a wider color gamut, gives these TVs the ability to display the finest details of color and gradation.

    Top-of-the-line LG OLED TVs come equipped with a unique sound bar speaker system. Developed in partnership with high-end audio pioneer harman/kardon®, the LG G6 and E6 feature front-firing sound bar speakers. With the speakers pointing forward, not downward like many thin TVs, viewers will hear clean, detailed audio without any distortion or reflection. The sound bar system is equipped with extra woofers to bolster the power of the speakers, setting LG OLED TVs apart from other TVs.

    The entire 2016 OLED TV lineup features the newest generation of LG's acclaimed webOS Smart TV platform. With webOS 3.0 advanced new features make finding and switching between LG's expanded content options – including broadcast TV, streaming services and external devices – simple and fast.* With enhanced mobile connectivity, remote features and more content options – including those offering streaming HDR, LG webOS 3.0 makes it even simpler and more fun than ever for users to find and enjoy the content they want to watch.

    For 2016, LG is expanding the OLED TV category that it established last year with four new 4K series and eight OLED TVs overall. The G6 and EG series join the curved panel C6 and flat-panel B6 series to be available in 65- and 55-inch class sizes with plans for U.S. rollout beginning in the first quarter. LG's Full HD 1080p OLED TV will continue in 2016.

    The new OLED models will be on display in LG's booth (LVCC Central Hall, #8204) at CES 2016 from Jan. 6-9 in Las Vegas. For more information, visit http://ces2016.lgnewsroom.com.

    And Dolby seperately announced today that the LG's 2016 OLED TVs and the company’s flagship Super UHD TVs will feature Dolby Vision technology. LG states explicitely that its OLED TVs will support HDR10 and DolbyVision, no mention as to support for the Technicolor marketes Philips/Technicolor solution, however it does claim

    LG 2016 OLED TV lineup supports the industry-standard HDR formats established by the world's leading broadcasters, film studios and consumer electronics manufacturers, such as HDR10 and DolbyVision™ HDR technology, making them among the first to be compatible with all formats.<\q>

    So it should be included. Things should be confirmed when Cineramax meets with Technicolor Tomorrow.

    Consumers will have access to UHD Dolby Vision mastered content via digital retailers and the world’s leading Internet TV network, Netflix®. Dolby, LG, and Netflix combine amazing content with cutting-edge imaging and a global footprint to deliver a premium viewing experience to consumers.

    Dolby Vision combines two powerful capabilities—high dynamic range (HDR) and wide color gamut—resulting in astonishing images that, compared to standard pictures, deliver brighter highlights, more light-to-dark contrast, and colors never before seen on TV.

    LG’s OLED TV, because of its deeper black levels and infinite contrast ratio, is capable of delivering a superb premium HDR experience even at lower peak-brightness levels. Additionally, with its premium Super UHD TVs’ ability to offer superior picture quality with Dolby Vision technology, LG is reaching a new level in offering consumers the best TV-viewing experience. LG’s 2016 OLED TVs, including 77-, 65-, and 55-inch 4K HDR OLED TV sets (models 77/65 G6 LG Signature OLED TV and 65/55 E6) and LG’s UH9500, UH8500 and UH7700 Super UHD TVs will all be equipped with Dolby Vision technology.

    From content creation to distribution and playback, Dolby Vision has support from everyone from A-list Hollywood directors and executives at major studios to OTT service providers and TV manufacturers worldwide.

    Nearly 50 Hollywood movie titles have been released in Dolby Vision in the cinema and in the home combined. Netflix will utilize Dolby Vision to deliver compelling viewing experiences for select Netflix titles, starting with Marco Polo, with plans to eventually offer the Marvel series as well. All major Hollywood studios support Dolby Vision for cinema releases; and Warner Bros. Home Entertainment, Universal Pictures Home Entertainment and Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Studios have already announced a commitment to deliver Dolby Vision content for home distribution. Warner Bros. Home Entertainment 4K Ultra HD Dolby Vision titles are available to consumers via popular video on-demand streaming service, VUDU®.

    “We are thrilled to work with Dolby to incorporate Dolby Vision technology into our OLED TV line-up, enabling us to deliver unparalleled picture quality for a superior TV viewing experience. With Dolby Vision, we’re finally able to push the limits of contrast ratios and color gamut while redefining the picture quality of LG TVs,” said Brian Kwon, Executive Vice President and CEO, LG Home Entertainment Company. “We’re equally proud to be the first manufacturer to make high-dynamic-range television available at a variety of prices through our premium LCD TV lineup.”

    “Dolby Vision transforms the television experience and when people see it, they’re blown away,” said Kevin Yeaman, President and CEO, Dolby Laboratories. “Through our partnership with LG, we’re able to expand the reach of this revolutionary technology to a global audience.”

    "The combination of LG’s OLED screens and Dolby Vision enables Netflix to deliver the most exciting and visually stunning experience possible in homes today," said Neil Hunt, Chief Product Officer, Netflix. "We look forward to leveraging the potential of Dolby Vision across a growing number of titles over the coming years.”

            LG Electronics' expanded line-up of top-tier 2016 4K Ultra HD TVs – including OLED and SUPER UHD TVs – have been selected by Netflix for its Netflix Recommended TV program, marking the second consecutive year that LG TVs have been recommended by the world's leading Internet TV network.

            Netflix Recommended TV is an evaluation program recognizing smart TVs that deliver excellent performance for Netflix and a better Internet TV experience overall. In total, LG has 10 series and 25 distinct models that meet the Netflix Recommended TV program's stringent specifications.

            LG's new OLED and LED 4K TVs* with webOS 3.0 qualified for the global Netflix Recommended TV designation after undergoing a rigorous, criteria-based smart TV evaluation program. Making the 2016 list are LG SIGNATURE OLED TV (G6), 4K OLED TVs (E6 and C6 series), LG SUPER UHD TVs (UH9500 and UH8500 series) and UHD TVs (UH6550, UH6500, UH6350, UH6300 and UH6100 series) with more models expected to be added as they are evaluated.

            The Netflix Recommended TV program is designed to help consumers identify televisions that offer a quicker, easier and up-to-date Netflix experience.

            On top of flawless 4K content, LG TVs are already prepared to provide optimal HDR picture quality.

            "Complementing their superior picture quality, LG 4K TVs offer an exceptional smart TV performance, which is especially important for the exploding number of consumers whose viewing habits include streaming content from providers like Netflix," said David VanderWaal, vice president of marketing, LG Electronics USA.

            "That's why the Netflix Recommended TV designation is so meaningful. With a simple and fast Smart TV platform and now more 4K and HDR Netflix content available globally, choosing a TV from LG has become the obvious choice," he said.

            "LG has continued to lead the way in making streaming services, including Netflix, easier and faster to use" said Scott Mirer, vice president, device partner ecosystem at Netflix. "We are pleased to designate LG's latest 4K UHD TVs with webOS 3.0 as Netflix Recommended TVs, offering a superior experience for Netflix members all over the world."

              Academy Award Winner Francis Ford Coppola Applauds LG OLED as TV Technology 'That No Other Can Match'
              New TV Category Delivers Stunning Picture Quality, Brings Directors' Cinematic Vision to Life in Ways Never Before Possible
              PR Newswire LG Electronics USA
              6 hours ago
              
              ENGLEWOOD CLIFFS, N.J., April 26, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- In a never-before-seen video released today by LG Electronics, acclaimed Hollywood director Francis Ford Coppola hails LG OLED TV as the next frontier in cinematic home entertainment.


              In a [http://www.lg.com/us/experience-tvs/oled-tv]video[/url] released today by LG Electronics, acclaimed Hollywood director Francis Ford Coppola hails LG OLED TV as the next frontier...

              Creating perfect blacks for incredible lifelike color, which has been touted by industry pundits as the "best picture quality ever," LG OLED TV is paving the way for filmmakers to break boundaries and create content in ways never before imaginable. Coppola's praise for OLED TV is the latest in similar endorsements from fellow Academy Award winning directors, who also have hailed LG OLED TV's superior picture quality as a triumph in TV technology today.

              "When I first watched Apocalypse Now on LG OLED, I was filled with emotion. Not only because it was so lifelike that I felt like I was back in the director's chair nearly 40 years ago, but because I was finally able to see the film how I always intended it to look," remarked Coppola. "Every scene was so vivid and stunning. Every detail was so perfectly clear and immersive. Many of these details which were originally lost when translated onto screen, were now brought back to all their glory."

              "When I first saw OLED TV's, I was mesmerized by its staggering picture quality," said 1984 director Ridley Scott, whose son Jake directed the LG OLED Superbowl commercial. "With 1984, audiences were introduced to a technological advancement that promised to change everything," said Jake. "I see a similar kind of disruption with LG OLED TV."

              LG OLED TVs, which launched for the first time in 2014, have ushered in a brand-new category of television in the U.S. that both experts and consumers alike consider the best picture quality on the market today. Using an emissive substance, each pixel of an OLED display can turn on or completely off, creating perfect blacks and amazing contrast for images that are crisper and more lifelike. With OLED technology, consumers can enjoy awe-inspiring picture with perfect blacks and incredible color, even from wide viewing angles unlike any LCD/LED TV can deliver. Blacks rendered by LG's OLED TV are up to 200 times deeper than those of an LCD panel, creating an infinite contrast ratio and bringing colors to life like never before possible.

              Coppola explained that when filming Apocalypse Now, he was "in the jungle for almost a year and a half. Even looking at the picture now brings back the terrifying moments we had in trying to get the superb picture and photography, all on film, with a host of difficulties.

              "Imagine going through all of that, and have audiences watch it on televisions that don't really have the advanced technology to showcase the picture the way I had intended it. LG OLED TV is a technology that no other television can match. It brings to the home, or wherever you are lucky enough to have an OLED screen, a picture so vivid, so sharp, with such definition, that it almost doesn't look like television."

              LG's 2016 OLED TVs, representing the third generation of this new display technology, are available in the United States starting this month. The entire 2016 LG OLED TV lineup assures the ultimate viewing experience with high dynamic range (HDR).

              In fact, LG's 2016 OLED TV lineup is among the first to deliver a complete HDR experience because it supports all industry-standard HDR formats established by the world's leading broadcasters, film studios and consumer electronics manufacturers, including HDR10 and DolbyVision™ HDR technology. It has also been certified as "Ultra HD Premium" by the UHD Alliance – a certification reserved for products that comply with the organization's performance standards for picture resolution, high dynamic range (HDR), peak luminance, black levels and wide color gamut, among other important metrics.

              LG OLED TV's unique ability to achieve perfect blacks to reveal even greater picture detail, combined with HDR, delivers to consumers images more like we see them in real life – allowing any details that were originally lost when translated onto the screen, brought back to life – making OLED TVs the ideal medium for HDR content.
