LG Electronics (LG), a best-selling OLED brand, continues to advance its position with the new LG B8S 4K OLED TV. Made in Korea, the B8S adds to the 2018 line-up of 4K OLED TVs, and packs powerful features of the OLED series such as α (Alpha) 7 processor, 4K Cinema HDR, and LG’s ThinQ Artificial Intelligence (AI).
LG’s α 7 processor provides true-to-life images filled with rich colours, sharpness and depth for more realism. Its precise dual-step noise reduction process reduces grain and banding noise, improving clarity and smoothness of pictures. The processor also augments colour performance thanks to the advanced mapping capabilities.
The TV builds on LG’s proprietary algorithm to provide better viewing. The LG B8S OLED TV also features 4K Cinema HDR, which adds support for Advanced HDR by Technicolor as well as other major HDR formats. The cinematic experience is further enhanced with the support of Dolby Atmos, which offers object-based surround sound.
LG’s ThinQ AI TV is powered by the 5th generation webOS TV operating system platform. It offers a launcher bar for easy access and switching between apps such as Netflix, YouTube, Toggle, LG Gallery, or other commonly accessed functions like the web browser or TV scheduler. The 2018 LG TVs also features the new ThinQ AI that delivers intelligent voice-activated control. Viewers can speak directly into the remote control to give voice commands and execute actions such as setting the TV timer, changing the picture mode without manually navigating the interface, or search for content recommendations.
“The new LG B8S OLED TV is equipped with the same technologies that make its predecessors so powerful,” said Hosik Kim, Product Director, LG Home Entertainment. “It is priced more affordably without compromising on the superior offerings of the LG OLED, making its technology more accessible than ever.”
