Unlike LCD screens, OLED technology offers the ability to turn each pixel on or completely off, rendering perfect blacks and crisper, more vibrant colors, along with rich shadow details, even when bright objects are directly next to deep, dark areas. LCD TVs, on the other hand, often present a halo effect from light bleeding. With 10-bit panels and processing, LG OLED TVs, including the newest 77-inch class model, can render more than a billion possible color variations.
By starting from perfect black—which only OLED can achieve—the new screen produces the required light ranges for HDR at a lower peak brightness, resulting in a comfortable HDR viewing experience. In addition to including open-format HDR10, the new OLED TV includes Dolby Vision™ technology for an enhanced HDR experience. Using dynamic metadata to adjust color, contrast and brightness on a frame-by-frame basis, Dolby Vision™ content provides superior color accuracy. The Dolby Vision™ mapping engine technology ensures that content is optimized to the TV’s capabilities. Already the preferred format for filmmakers and content providers, Dolby Vision™ is supported by all seven major movie studios and many streaming partners. LG OLED and SUPER UHD TVs are the first TVs to be compatible with both core HDR formats, according to the manufacturer. This is important for consumers because it assures access to all the HDR content available today and peace of mind that their TV will handle new content to come. In addition, the entire 2016 LG OLED lineup carries “Ultra HD Premium” certification, which identifies products that can deliver the high standards for performance and immersive experience as set by the UHD Alliance.

The LG Signature line, like other 2016 LG OLED TV models, come with the latest generation of the manufacturer’s webOS Smart TV platform, so users can easily find and switch between content options, including broadcast TV, streaming services and external devices, such as new UHD Blu-Ray players and a growing library of 4K and HDR programming available to consumers.
