No matter the poverty level in Nigeria, owning a TV seems to be a priority in most homes. TV viewing brings about some sort of relaxation and serves as a way of rewarding oneself after a hard day’s work.
Television became part of our lives 75 years back, over the years it has played a huge role in the evolution of the world today and now it’s perceived as a status symbol by householders to say the least. In households, the quality of TV tends to adorn living rooms.
A tube delivering images in black and white was considered to be okay when TV was first introduced. But with the advent of colour TV, the relevance of black and white seized. Everybody was and still is in love with colour TV.
Over time, there has been advanced introductions such as the LCD, LED and 3D TVs, which has brought about tremendous improvement in picture quality.
Recently, LG Electronics unveiled their 84-inch Ultra High Definition TV, which is the world’s first 84-inch Ultra Definition (UD) Cinema 3D Smart TV as well as the first of its kind to be introduced into the Nigerian market, at the atrium of the Ikeja shopping Mall in Lagos.
The LG 84-inch ULTRA-HD TV, also known as 84LM9600, is the world’s largest Ultra High Definition TV. The sheer size of the display, which is equal to 4units of 42-inch TVs, delivers an unparalleled picture resolution of 2160p which is 4 times higher than full HD. It is incredibly vivid and crisp, even when viewed from close distances.
It comes complete with an enhanced sound which no other TV currently offers. Its 2.2 speaker system delivers a sound output of 50W, boasting two woofers, which delivers an incredible depth and energy, bringing eye-encompassing visuals to life with exhilarating sound.
Speaking on this incredible achievement was the General Manager, Home Entertainment division, LG Electronics, Mr. Steve Ryu said: “It is obvious that our industry is driven by innovation and Ultra Definition which our latest invention will transform viewing experience.
“This is indeed a watershed moment in TV history because the Ultra HD 4K technology will make it possible for consumers to enjoy crystal clear picture quality. The LG 84-inch ULTRA-HD TV offers quadruple the detail of a full HD 1080p unit, with 8 million pixels.”
The new TV uses LG Resolution Upscaler Plus hardware which delivers higher detail from the existing SD/HD external sources. It provides the most convincing 3D viewing experience currently available outside of a movie theatre.
The TV’s Triple XD Engine comes with a TruMotion of 240 Hz with the benefit of fast screen refresh rate which guarantees quality viewing of fast movies and sports.
It also possesses a Smart TV ecosystem, featuring well over 1,000 applications. It comes complete with 3D glasses as well as LG’s Magic Remote, now upgraded to understand voice commands allowing users to intuitively access and navigate the Home Dashboard with ease.
Guests at the event, tried out this device for the first time; they were thrilled by the breathtaking viewing experience the massive display gives, with many admitting that with a new technology like the LG 84-inch ULTRA-HD TV family time will be a fantasy come true.
For all those tech enthusiasts, the Ultra HD is one to have. They are able to reproduce colors that can’t be seen in the color space of their HD counterparts. Most importantly, they are simply stunning to look at.
There is a growing concern about the lack of Ultra HD content. While this will undoubtedly change in the future, LG is already offering very sophisticated resolution upscalers to convert 1K content to 4K. Indeed, Ultra HD is the next step towards the future where we have truly lifelike video at home and LG is passionately leading the pack.
