<\/p>\nIn 2024, ahead of the 2024 CES in Las Vegas, LG unveiled its new line of OLED TVs.\u00a0And while this line of LG OLED displays may be more of a slight improvement on the 2023 models than a revolutionary leap, there are some new surprises in store for serious AV tech fans.<\/p>\n
Given the leap forward in WRGB technology, last year’s LG G3 models brought the possibility of\u00a0Micro Lens Array\u00a0technology .\u00a0LG calls it Brightness Booster Max technology to reflect the fact that MLA hardware is only part of what makes this a premium OLED TV.\u00a0What features await us in the 2024 LG OLED TVs?<\/p>\n
The main picture improvement should come from the new processor, which LG claims is a very big step forward over its predecessor.\u00a0The company called it Alpha 11 AI instead of\u00a0Alpha 10 AI\u00a0, which was supposed to replace the Alpha 9 processor in 2023.<\/p>\n
LG claims the Alpha 11 AI chip will offer four times the AI \u200b\u200bperformance of its predecessor, 1.7 times the graphics performance, and 1.3 times the processing power.\u00a0And all this is combined with 2.5 GB of memory.<\/p>\n
The biggest news regarding the Alpha 11 AI video processor is that LG AI Picture Pro’s deep learning-based image enhancement system can now handle all sources.\u00a0This also includes those connected to the TV via HDMI, and not just broadcasts and some streaming services, as was the case before.<\/p>\n
The new AI Picture Pro system includes the latest in genre and scene analysis, noise reduction and OLED Dynamic Tone Mapping Pro features.\u00a0The latest technology breaks down an image into thousands of analysis units to make its tonal mapping more accurate.\u00a0The Alpha 11 AI processor also introduces two potentially key new AI Picture Pro features.<\/p>\n
This is the improvement of objects through visual perception and processing by AI Director.\u00a0The visual object enhancement feature is said to analyze every pixel in an image to better detect and more efficiently process various objects in an image.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
This is necessary in order to make the image more realistic.\u00a0In this case, key objects will be expressed more clearly.\u00a0AI Director Processing tries to apply color theory to everything you watch.\u00a0In this case, color will be used to enhance emotions.<\/p>\n
These two new features may seem problematic for AV enthusiasts who prefer their TV to simply show, as accurately as possible, the image they’re watching.\u00a0However, given the power and scope of the deep learning AI behind these features, even avid movie buffs will want to at least experiment with them.<\/p>\n
The Alpha 11 processor also introduces several potentially important new elements to the AI \u200b\u200bSound Pro G4 system.\u00a0This is a virtual 11.1.2 channel upmixer that can even be applied to stereo sources.\u00a0Also added is a new voice remastering system that can use artificial intelligence.<\/p>\n
All this is needed to extract voices from audio mixes and improve their clarity without affecting the rest of the mix.\u00a0These new features complement previous AI Sound Pro features such as Adaptive Sound Control, AI Acoustic Tuning to optimize room sound, and Amplifier to create more dynamic and powerful sound.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Although it’s unclear whether LG has made any significant improvements to the Micro Lens Array system hardware that helped the G3 achieve such a revolutionary brightness boost in 2023.\u00a0LG says its latest Brightness Booster Max technology will make the G4 even brighter than\u00a0the LG G3\u00a0, but it’s not entirely clear by how much.<\/p>\n
LG is simply saying that the G4s will be 70% brighter than “regular” OLED screens.\u00a0That is, entry-level basic models like the LG B series. Another significant advancement in the G4 line is the Brightness Booster Max system, which extends to the 83-inch model.<\/p>\n
The series is no longer limited to 55, 65 and 77 inches.\u00a0The only G4 model that won’t benefit from Brightness Booster Max is the new, largest 97-inch screen.\u00a0Meanwhile, gamers have a new feature they can look forward to in the form of support for games with a 144Hz refresh rate.<\/p>\n
This is assuming you have a computer that can support that refresh rate.\u00a0LG says this feature makes its new OLED “Evo” models, including the new C4, M4, and G4, the first TVs to officially support both Nvidia\u00a0G-Sync\u00a0and 144Hz.\u00a0Of course, they also support AMD FreeSync.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The M4 models mentioned in the press release will be LG’s 2024 flagship OLED TVs.\u00a0Anyone familiar with the LG M3 TVs, which LG introduced relatively late in 2023, can expect the new M4 line to continue to be built around LG’s Zero Connect system.<\/p>\n
This is a system in which an external connection unit transmits images with a resolution of up to 4K \/ 144 Hz HDR wirelessly to OLED screens.\u00a0The M4 will improve on its M3 predecessors as it will be equipped with the latest Alpha 11 AI processor. The series will also feature Brightness Booster Max technology in all screen sizes except the 97-inch.<\/p>\n
The M4 and G4 screens will feature so-called \u201cOne Wall Designs\u201d, ideal for wall mounting.\u00a0They will also come with a five-year warranty as a sign of LG’s confidence in their durability.\u00a0Another new feature exclusive to the LG M4 and G4 OLEDs will be the new 4-screen system, powered by the power of the Alpha 11 processor.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
This will split the screen into four smaller screens that display different sources.\u00a0In addition, the power of the new processor increases the range of source combinations that can be configured and improves the interface for selecting Multiview sources.<\/p>\n
Completing LG’s so-called evo line of premium OLED panels will be the C4 line.\u00a0As with the C Series in LG’s 2023 OLED lineup, the C4 won’t benefit from the full Brightness Booster Max technology.\u00a0Some C4 screen sizes will instead revert to regular Brightness Booster technology.<\/p>\n
This reflects the specific combination of a slightly improved version of the Alpha 9 processor found on last year’s C3 models and LG’s evo panels, which deliver more brightness than base OLED panels without getting the extra brightness from MLA technology.<\/p>\n
LG says the C4 should have a slight increase in brightness over the\u00a0LG C3\u00a0, but doesn’t provide any hard numbers.\u00a0As in previous years, the 42- and 48-inch C4s won’t get Brightness Booster technology, although LG confirms they will definitely be brighter than their 2023 counterparts.<\/p>\n
LG C4 loses the 5-year warranty that the G4 and M4 series have.\u00a0They also won’t support four screens.\u00a0The One Wall design will be replaced with an ultra-thin design.\u00a0However, they retain both 144Hz gaming and far-field voice control features.<\/p>\n
The latter feature makes it possible to talk to the TV without having to press a button on the remote control.\u00a0The LG C4 line in 2024 will be available in screen sizes of 42, 48, 55, 65, 77 and 83 inches.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Rounding out LG’s OLED offering for 2024 will be the entry-level B4 series.\u00a0These models, available in screen sizes of 77, 65, 55 and 48 inches, support a maximum frequency of 120 Hz rather than 144 Hz, and make way for the new Alpha 8 AI 4K processor, which LG rather vaguely describes as “legacy” from last year’s Alpha processor 9 AI.<\/p>\n
There is no far-field voice recognition on the B4.\u00a0They also do not have Brightness Booster technologies.\u00a0This means they will be significantly less bright than their older brothers.\u00a0However, they still get\u00a0Dolby Vision\u00a0and\u00a0Dolby Atmos\u00a0support , which all of LG’s more premium 2024 models have.<\/p>\n
They will also be equipped with the latest, much improved\u00a0webOS 24\u00a0platform and a dual-screen Multiview system.\u00a0As for prices and sales start dates, LG has not yet provided such information.<\/p>\n

While LG’s OLED TVs have resonated better with consumers than its premium QNED LCD TVs in recent years, the brand certainly can’t be accused of treating its LCD TVs like second-class models.<\/p>\n
There’s always a wide range of price points and LCD display technologies to choose from for people looking for brighter or cheaper alternatives to LG’s OLED models.\u00a0This trend continues with the introduction of LG’s new QNED TV lineup for 2024.<\/p>\n
The 2024 QNED series is driven by the new Alpha 8 AI and Alpha 5 AI processors, as well as its commitment to offering new larger screen sizes.\u00a0But these new advancements will of course build on QNED’s popular existing features such as\u00a0NanoCell\u00a0\/Quantum Dot color technology.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
These advancements also include full-scale local dimming lighting systems and, in the case of premium models, mini-LED lighting.\u00a0The Alpha 8 AI processor is said to deliver a 1.3x increase in AI performance over its predecessor, a 2.3x increase in graphics performance, and an overall 1.6x increase in processing speed.<\/p>\n
Power improvements like these should result in faster image improvements, especially when it comes to upscaling HD images to 4K.\u00a0But LG also points to some specific image improvements.\u00a0The Alpha 8 AI video processor is designed for the new QNED TVs.<\/p>\n
It is used primarily with LG’s AI Picture Pro system, which can now handle both HDMI and tuner sources.\u00a0The system can now identify more than just the types of content being viewed and adjust picture and sound quality accordingly.<\/p>\n
AI Picture Pro can also identify faces, objects, and backgrounds in a scene, and address such individual image elements differently.\u00a0This is intended to “rearrange” the image so that it looks the way the human eye perceives the real world.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Significant improvements have also been made to LG’s Dynamic Tone Mapping Pro system.\u00a0This system breaks the image into small blocks to better identify the brightest and darkest areas to optimize the HDR effect on the screen.\u00a0All this results in a more detailed, dynamic and three-dimensional image.<\/p>\n
The new QNED processing system also supports a new personalized version of LG’s Picture Wizard.\u00a0Any family member who sets up an account on the TV will be able to automatically activate their preferred picture settings, as well as their preferred home page, at any time.<\/p>\n
The new processor doesn’t stop at improving images.\u00a0It also improves the sound of the latest QNED TVs, allowing some models to downmix incoming audio into\u00a09.1.2\u00a0virtual channels .\u00a0The QNED line can also easily customize its built-in sound systems with LG soundbars thanks to LG’s Wow Orchestra feature.\u00a0The top-of-the-line 8K additionally supports Wow Cast, where lossless Dolby\u00a0Atmos\u00a0audio can be streamed wirelessly to LG.<\/p>\n
Based on past experience, the combination of QNED screens with quantum dots and nanocells should provide unusually bright, wide, yet refined color reproduction.\u00a0The so-called Precision Dimming technology is available in the\u00a02024 LG QNED99T and QNED90T\u00a0Mini LED series.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The TV is now claimed to be capable of reproducing a million steps of gray scale and providing gradation with 20-bit precision.\u00a0This should result in better tonal control of colors across the entire light spectrum and up to 64 times (LG claims) more detail in dark scenes.<\/p>\n
The design of the latest LG QNED models has been improved to make them thinner.\u00a0However, the vast majority of the latest models have a depth of less than 30 mm.\u00a0LG has also developed new slim stands for the latest QNED TVs that offer easy cable management.<\/p>\n
Some screen sizes support two height settings for their tabletop stands.\u00a0This allows you to either sit the screen low on a flat, centrally mounted stand, or raise the screen another 40mm or so to make room for one of LG’s newest soundbars.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The entire new QNED line will run on the latest version of LG’s webOS intelligent platform.\u00a0A significant achievement is that this 2024 webOS platform will have four years of upgradeability for future webOS platform updates.\u00a0The new future-proof\u00a0webOS 24\u00a0will also be available for the 2022 8K QNED lineups, QNED99 and QNED95 series.<\/p>\n
There will be four new QNED series in 2024.\u00a0It will be led by QNED99T.\u00a0These 8K models will be available in 86-inch and 75-inch screen sizes.\u00a0They feature a slim, wall-mountable Gallery design.\u00a0They will use mini-LED lighting and a large number of local dimming zones.<\/p>\n
In addition, QNED99T TVs will support a native refresh rate of 120 Hz and offer the highest level of color reproduction, called QNED Color Pro.\u00a0This series uses Alpha 9 AI 8K processors, specially designed to meet the additional demands of handling 8K pixel counts.<\/p>\n
Also in the premium 4K QNED line will be the QNED90T series models.\u00a0Available in 86, 75 and 65 inch screen sizes.\u00a0They will have a “slim” design, built-in 120Hz panels, mini-LED lighting systems and QNED Color Pro level of color rendering.\u00a0However, their processors will use the new Alpha 8 artificial intelligence system.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Below that is the QNED85T series.\u00a0This line includes a 98-inch model for the first time.\u00a0It is joined by 86, 75, 65, 55 and 50-inch variants of the QNED85T.\u00a0This series pares down the design to what’s called a “super-thin” level and retains the built-in 120Hz panel and Alpha 8 series AI processor.<\/p>\n
However, the number of dimming zones is reduced to the so-called Advanced Local Dimming level compared to Precision.\u00a0The dimming system loses the “Pro” specification in the QNED Color feature and switches to regular LED lighting instead of Mini LED.\u00a0The most affordable of the 2024 LG QNED TVs will be the QNED80T series.<\/p>\n
The series will feature a new screen size of 86 inches, which will be paired with 75-inch, 65-inch, 55-inch, 50-inch, and 43-inch variants.\u00a0The Q80T series will retain the ultra-thin design of the Q85T, as well as the QNED Color specification and an “advanced” local dimming engine.<\/p>\n
But the refresh rate will drop to 60Hz.\u00a0The processor will be Alpha 5 with artificial intelligence.\u00a0While it’s not as powerful as the Alpha 8 AI, it’s still an improvement over the processor found in the Q80T’s predecessors.\u00a0These models should go on sale starting in spring 2024.<\/p>\n
