  LG’s latest models, upgraded features, and True 4K and 8K displays have set a new standard for home cinema. LG Electronics (LG) has unveiled its latest line-up of TVs within its flagship OLED and QNED TV ranges. As the manufacturer of some of the world’s most advanced TVs, this year’s technological improvements will change how consumers experience TV. And, considering that many international streaming services now offer 4K content, including this year’s FIFA World Cup that  DStv will be broadcasting  in 4K UHD, now is a great time for football fans – and movie lovers alike – to invest in a true 4K display, which offers twice the resolution of 4K UHD.   The evolution of OLED   LG released its first OLED TV in 2010, ushering in a new era for colour and contrast. Whereas traditional LCD TVs rely on backlighting to produce an image – which results in  backlight bleeding and paler colours –  OLED TVs use over 100 million self-lit pixels that can turn on a...

In the world of TV, a decade of technological innovation has pushed the limits of picture quality, brightness, and colour reproduction.  Today, you can have a stunning 8K display running at 120Hz that blurs the lines between display and reality. But there’s a lot more to the latest display technologies than meets the eye. And if a TV is the canvas for the art of modern cinema, it’s important to know that not all are painted equally. LG’s latest range of QNED TVs have arrived on South African shores and have set a new benchmark for backlit TVs in terms of colour reproduction and quality. But what is it about QNED that makes other displays pale in comparison?   Here’s what you need to know about the tech behind the TVs that are revolutionising how we experience colour on screen.   Combining cutting-edge colour tech LG’s QNED TVs combine NanoCell and Quantum Dot technologies, which has never been done before. By doing this, they are able to deliver higher quality pictures wi...

We’ve come a long way since TVs were giant, heavy boxes that took up a quarter of the living room with a picture that was only clear when every curtain was drawn. These days, sitting down to enjoy your favourite movie, sports match, or video game must come with the excitement that you’ll be experiencing the best picture quality possible, complete with deep colours, a wide range of contrast, and brightness levels that let you watch and play regardless of a room’s natural light. That’s why we’re here; to share the technical know-how of today’s leading devices and help you decide for yourself which one is the best fit.   LCD vs LED? A good place to start is knowing how TVs produce light and the most common way they do this. Though they may sound like two different kinds of TV, an LED TV is simply a specific kind of liquid crystal display (LCD). An LCD uses a crystal solution sandwiched between two panels, which lets light through or blocks it when an electrical current flows through t...

It’s hard to believe that the world saw its first public television demonstration almost 100 years ago. Today, after a century of innovation in the world of electronic displays, screen size and picture quality aren’t the only things that have improved dramatically. Modern TVs can be used for gaming, smart home functionalities, search engines, streaming online content, and much more. Viewers now have access to cinema-quality features within the comfort of their own homes, but there is also a confusing variety of display technologies to choose from. The differences between LCD, mini-LED, and the latest OLED displays are significant, and if you’re thinking of investing in a new home entertainment system, it is certainly worth knowing them.   What is mini-LED technology? The name is fairly self-explanatory: mini-LED TVs have thousands of tiny LEDs in the backlighting, whereas conventional LED TVs only have a few hundred. This tenfold improvement in the number of light-emitting diodes, ...

NanoCell vs QNED: The powerful technologies behind the latest TVs LG has been a pioneer in advanced electronics since 1958, and today their 2021 line-up of TVs boasts some of the most innovative and cutting-edge displays in the industry. LG’s self-lit OLED TVs have certainly set the benchmark for the best in picture and colour quality, but this doesn’t mean that their NanoCell and QNED MiniLEDs should be overlooked. NanoCell TVs have brought LCD displays to life with purer colours in 4K and 8K. And the latest QNED MiniLED TVs are another exciting addition to LG's range, combining Quantum Dot NanoCell technology and mini-LED backlighting to create better contrast, more vibrant colours, and excellent HDR quality.   With all these state-of-the-art displays constantly improving and newer technology being released, the modern home cinema experience has the potential to be far more immersive than ever before. But it can also be difficult for consumers to keep up with the pace of innovati...
