When my ~$500 LG 4K 144Hz panel greeted me with an LG application pop-up I was very confused because I knew that the only thing LG in my whole set up was this monitor, and I hadn't installed an LG software. Maybe it downloaded alongside something else and I hadn't noticed until now?

Nope. My trusty 4K monitor that I've owned for a couple years downloaded spyware onto my system without my consent. I also couldn't uninstall it through normal channels. Thank god for RevoUninstaller.

I will never be purchasing an LG product again. Thank you for letting your intentions be known, LG.

This video covers adware, spyware and possible wiretapping concerns with LG displays, as well as straight-up changing terms of use or lose security updates. Also McAfee. Somehow. And if LG does this, doubtless every other TV manufacturer does this or similar. It's a damnable things, so LTT's quest for a dumb TV might not be fruitless.

The LG G6 is now shipping end of March. This guide covers every B, C, and G series model from 2020 onward ; one section per model, covering both hardware specs and real-world picture quality (HDR, SDR, color accuracy, and display tech).

Check the images for model by model breakdown !

--

Corrections: A couple of corrections flagged by the community -- thank you!

C4 panel: The C4 does not have MLA. That was an error on my part. MLA has been G-series exclusive since the G3. The C4 uses OLED Evo with a Brightness Booster, not MLA.

C5 brightness: The C5 peaks at ~1,180–1,200 nits at 10% window across reviewer measurements, not the ~1,000–1,179 nits range listed. The higher end of that range is the more accurate figure. Apologies for the ambiguity.

G4 processor : The G4 uses the Alpha 11 (1st gen), not the Alpha 9 Gen 7. This also means the processor gap between the G4 and G6 (Alpha 11 Gen 3) is smaller than listed.

--

G6 picture quality baseline (from AVForums, FlatpanelsHD, Sound Advice reviews):
Panel: Tandem WOLED 2.0 (Primary RGB Four-Stack) · Peak brightness: ~2,316 nits at 10% window, ~3,045 nits at 1% window · Full-screen APL: ~432 nits · DCI-P3 coverage: ~98–99% · BT.2020: ~80% XY / 87% UV · SDR: bright, accurate, Rec.709 compliant · Banding: essentially fixed vs G5 — near-flawless gradients · Dolby Vision: supported (not DV2) · HDR10, HLG supported · Color volume: ~88% DCI-P3 at peak · Reflectance: 0.3% (Reflection Free Premium coating).

--

2020 Models Verdict :

• BX : The BX was always the budget option - dim, basic processor, and the weakest picture in its lineup. The G6 is a complete transformation in HDR impact, color richness, and picture processing. Clear upgrade.

• CX : The CX is legendary for good reason - perfect blacks, accurate color, excellent for its era. But in a side-by-side with the G6, the HDR brightness gap is enormous. The G6 makes HDR look the way it was always intended. Strongest upgrade in this guide.

• GX : The GX shares the same internals as the CX - same panel, same processor, gallery design only. Everything said about the CX upgrade applies here. A generational leap in every picture quality dimension that matters.

--

2021 Models Verdict :

• B1 : The B1 was an entry-level OLED in every sense - dim, limited processing, basic upscaler. The G6 is a complete overhaul. HDR becomes what it's supposed to be. No hesitation.

• C1 : The C1 was a superb TV in its time, but brightness was always its weak point. Every HDR scene you've watched on the C1 was being tone-mapped downward from the original master. The G6 shows you what those scenes were actually meant to look like. Highly recommended.

• G1 : The G1 was genuinely exciting ; the first time OLED Evo technology arrived, and it showed. But Tandem WOLED 2.0 is a fundamentally different panel type. The HDR and colour volume gains at high brightness are very real, and the banding fix is welcome. Strong upgrade case.

--

2022 Models Verdict :

• B2 : Budget panel, budget chip. The B2 delivered great blacks but fell behind in everything else. The G6 is an upgrade in every picture quality category without exception. Easy recommendation.

• C2 : The C2 is one of the most beloved OLEDs ever released - and rightly so. But every HDR scene you've watched has been tone-mapped from masters that the C2 couldn't fully render. The G6 gets you close to the mastering suite. Plus the banding fix alone is worth noticing. Strong upgrade.

• G2 : The G2 was genuinely excellent - the Brightness Booster pushed it beyond any prior WOLED. But the G6 still doubles its HDR brightness, uses a completely different panel architecture, and dramatically improves gradients. If you watch a lot of HDR movies, this upgrade is very noticeable.

--

2023 Models Verdict :

• B3 : Same story as B1/B2 - budget panel and chip in a three-year-old TV. The G6 is a complete transformation in every picture quality area. Clear upgrade.

• C3 : The C3 stagnated on brightness relative to C2, which was already a weak point. The G6 closes that gap dramatically. The HDR and gradient improvements are genuinely visible in everyday content. Solid recommendation - especially if you watch a lot of movies or streaming HDR.

• G3 : The G3 with MLA was and remains a landmark TV. It crosses 1,500 nits, has excellent SDR, and remains accurate. The G6 wins on banding, brightness ceiling, and reflection handling. If you're in a bright room, the difference is real. For dark-room viewers who are happy with their G3's picture, waiting for G7 makes sense financially.

--

2024 Models Verdict :

• B4 : Entry-level panel with a mid-tier chip in a 2-year-old TV. The G6 is a comprehensive upgrade in picture quality. The brightness and processing gaps are large. Worthwhile if budget allows.

• C4 : The C4 was the first mid-range OLED to crack 1,000 nits with MLA ; a real milestone. But the G6 doubles that headroom. The improvement is most visible in 4,000-nit-mastered content and in bright rooms. Dark-room viewers with a calibrated C4 can reasonably wait. HDR enthusiasts and bright-room viewers have a genuine case.

• G4 : The G4 with META 2.0 MLA was one of the best TVs ever made and you've owned it for only two years. The G6 is better, brighter, cleaner gradients, better reflections, better upscaling ; but the real-world difference in a dark room is more incremental than transformative at this tier. Unless reflections are a daily frustration, wait for G7.

--

2025 Models Verdict :

• B5 : The B5 is brand new but the standard WOLED panel and Alpha 8 chip mean it's a budget OLED in a premium world. The picture quality jump to G6 is enormous. The real question is whether you're willing to upgrade a TV you bought this year.

• C5 : The C5 is a great TV you just bought this year. But the G6 doubles its HDR headroom and improves reflections dramatically. If you're in a bright room or watch a lot of 4K HDR streaming, there's a genuine argument. Dark-room viewers in a calibrated setup should hold until next year.

• G5 : If you own a G5, the only genuinely compelling reason to upgrade is banding and it is a real fix. But that alone doesn't justify the price of a brand-new flagship TV. Everything else is incremental. Save your money for G7 unless banding is actively ruining your viewing experience or reflections are a real problem in your room.

--

Note : Hardware brightness figures are HDR 10% window measurements from rtings.com and FlatpanelsHD where available. G6 picture quality data sourced from AVForums, Sound Advice, and FlatpanelsHD hands-on/reviews (March 2026). DCI-P3 and color volume figures for older models are from rtings.com calibration data.

Hello everyone,

We’d like to share an update regarding a concern raised by several users about the LG G5/C5, where Dolby Vision Cinema Home (out-of-box mode) appears noticeably darker compared to HDR10.

Software Update Details

• Software Version: 33.30.92

• Rollout Schedule: February 2

Background

As many of you know, Dolby Vision picture modes are designed to closely follow creator intent, in accordance with Dolby’s mastering guidelines.

As a result, maximum display luminance expression is limited in Dolby Vision modes, which has led to comparatively lower brightness levels versus HDR10.

What’s Changing

Based on customer feedback, LG has worked closely with Dolby Laboratories to address this issue.

As a result, we have agreed to improve brightness not only in Cinema Home mode but also in Vivid, Game, and Standard modes.

Please make sure your TV is updated once the software becomes available, and feel free to share your impressions after installing it.

Thank you for your continued support!

Finally managed to do a proper, controlled before vs after comparison on my LG G5, so sharing impressions for anyone curious about the Dolby Vision brightness update.

Setup :

• TV: LG G5

• Room: dark room

• Source: internal app - Amazon Prime

• Content: Top Gun: Maverick (Dolby Vision)

• Picture mode: Dolby Vision Cinema

• Brightness: 80

• Energy Saving: OFF

• AI Picture / AI Brightness: OFF

--

What changed :

• Dolby Vision Cinema is noticeably brighter in midtones / overall APL compared to the old firmware.

• Faces in darker scenes (cockpit shots, interiors) are easier to see without touching settings.

• The image feels less “subdued” while still looking like Dolby Vision.

• Highlights are still controlled; no obvious clipping.

• Blacks still look solid; I don’t see any obvious black lift.

--

What didn’t change :

• This doesn’t turn DV into HDR10.

• Filmmaker Mode is still the darkest and most conservative (as it should be).

• Dolby Vision still prioritizes creator intent ; just feels more usable now.

LG didn’t apply a brute-force brightness boost, but Dolby Vision Cinema definitely feels more balanced post update. It finally sits clearly above Filmmaker Mode without breaking contrast or highlights.

If you felt Dolby Vision Cinema was a bit too restrained before, this update is absolutely worth installing.

Had this set up for a little while now and wanted to upgrade it i have been saving up for a pc as well as a new table, keyboard and other things since I want to start content creation. So getting a new good monitor would help so much (GX9 monitor) But for now this is my setup :D

Hey everyone! We've seen a lot of questions about how the GX9 handles productivity workflows and multi-device setups, so here's a full breakdown of what you can do with the ports on the 45GX950A.

First things first: What ports does the GX9 have?

DisplayPort 2.1 Issue (NVIDIA 50-series)

Important Update: NVIDIA has released the GeForce Hotfix Display Driver 576.26 (April 28,2025) to resolve screen blackouts when connecting to Displayport 2.1 on NVIDIA RTX 50 series GPUs. NVIDIA GPU users should download and install the latest display driver before connecting their DP 2.1-supported monitors.

Ports & Compatibility FAQ

• Q. Does GX9 support USB-C with charging? How much power output?

• A. Yes. The USB-C port supports charging your laptop (up to 90W) while sending video and using the USB hub - Ideal for a clean, one-cable setup. The video here shows productivity setup!

• Q. Does DSC impact image quality? Will I notice compression artifacts?

• A. The VESA DSC (Display Stream Compression) is designed to be visually lossless — meaning, while technically compressed, the visual difference is imperceptible in normal use.

“VESA’s display interface compression standards are rigorously tested for subjective image quality using a diverse group of test subjects.” “They provide efficient compression and visually lossless quality… including HDR content, high-res text, and gaming graphics.” – VESA

• Q. Why DP 2.1 UHBR 13.5 bandwidth? Why not 20?

• A. For more on why this panel uses UHBR 13.5 and not higher-bandwidth versions, check our this breakdown from TFTCentral: link also, it explains about why not 240Hz.

• Q. Is there KVM (keyboard/mouse switch) functionality?

• A. Not built into the monitor, but several users in the community have shared KVM switch setups that work well with the GX9:

Will my GPU handle this monitor?

Actual refresh rates may vary depending on computer graphics specifications and configurations

DisplayPort 2.1 Support by Platform

Can I get 5120x2160 @ 165Hz via USB-C on a Mac?

It depends on your Mac model and chipset.

Standard Intel and base M1/M2/M3 chips:

Apple officially supports up to 6K 60Hz on one external display, and when connected to the 45GX950A, the monitor will only run at 100Hz max. Even if DisplayPort 1.4 and DSC are supported, macOS imposes a dot clock limit that blocks full 5120x2160 @ 120Hz output.

M3 Pro / M3 Max and up:

These higher-end chips support two 6K 60Hz displays or up to 8K, and 5120x2160 @ 165Hz via USB-C has been verified.

Here’s a great example of a Tech YouTuber confirming 165Hz (even with VRR!) working on macOS: Pete Matheson

Productivity-Specific FAQ

• Q. How good is text clarity on GX9? Is WOLED sharp enough for code, spreadsheets, or reading?

• A. GX9 uses a RGWB sub-pixel layout that reduces color fringing and helps maintain text clarity.

• With 125 PPI, it delivers solid sharpness for both productivity and gaming. Experience may still vary slightly depending on your OS text rendering (ClearType on Windows, Retina scaling on macOS).

• Here's a side-by-side of text clarity between last year's model (84 PPI) and the new GX9 (125 PPI). Take a look - curious what you all thing about the difference.

Pete Matheson video link

• Q. Does GX9 work well as a single monitor for both Mac and PC? Easy to swap between devices?

• A. Absolutely - you can even use PIP or PBP mode to connect your PC/Mac and a console at the same time!

Spawnpoiint video link

Hopefully this answers most of the questions on GX9's connectivity and setup.

Let me know if there's anything else you're wondering about - full MEGATHREAD Link HERE

I started this project over 2 years ago and built the floating shelf and TV cabinet myself. It's nearly complete, I just need to replace my 8 year old 75" with a new M5 77" to enjoy playing Expedition 33 even more.

Disclaimer: LG invited me to attend this event and covered my accommodation as well as part of my travel expenses. All opinions are my own.

I was at the LG Convention in Germany and could see their new OLED TVs in person.

They had the G5 from last year and the new G6 displayed for comparison.

The biggest difference that I noticed was the brightness. The G6 displayed (in direct comparison) whiter snow and the overall picture got that little more pop to it.

Regarding the reflection handling, I saw some reflections getting a bit darkened and therefore less visible. But some other reflections like those from the windows were basically the same across the generations. It was a bit hard to test the reflection handling on the event and I would wait for more professional reviews covering them.

For the perceived black levels, I saw no difference between the models.

So don't be sad if you got the G5 and not the G6! Yes, there have been made improvements, but I would call them incremental and not revolutionary.

For me the biggest winner among the TVs are the larger LG C6 (77" and 83").

This is because they also use the new tandem OLED layering, providing a boost in brightness. They also use the same processor as the G series. This is noteworthy as the C series usually use a less capable processor.

For those folks who like to hookup their PC there's also a welcomed change: ALL of the C series TVs will have a 165herz panel. But compared to the more premium G series the C series lacks some features.

It doesn't get the same antireflective coating which will be exclusive to the G and W series in the foreseeable future as an LG employee told me. It also won't have the same brightness level which I believe is because they don't use the heatsink that the G models use.

I would love to add a second OLED monitor to the top, and the LG UltraGear GX9 OLED Gaming Monitor would be just perfection.

Hey everyone!

We’ve posted 4 deep-dives already — from connectivity and screen format to setting guide and Dual Mode. But we’ve also seen a ton of community Q&A, so here’s a Megathread that covers:

• Common questions that keep coming up

• Known issues (DP flicker, VRR quirks, burn-in concerns)

• 50+ handpicked links to reviews, guides, and discussion threads

Let’s get into it!

📦 General FAQ

Q. Wasn’t there a DP 2.1 issue on NVIDIA RTX 50 series?
A. Yes — some users reported black screens or instability when connecting the GX9 via DisplayPort 2.1 with RTX 50 series.
Good news: NVIDIA released Hotfix Driver 576.26 on April 28 to fix this.

✅ GeForce Hotfix Download – v576.26

Q. What’s the LG Switch App?
A. If you haven’t tried it yet, the LG Switch App might become your favorite shortcut on Windows.
This software is designed to maximize convenience and customization on your GX9 — no more digging through OSD menus.

Q. Just got the GX9 and turned it on — is it normal to see color banding?
A. Yes, mild banding can appear early on. Try running a Pixel Refresh — it usually clears up.

Most users report that running Pixel Cleaning (from the monitor’s OLED Care menu) resolves the issue quickly.

Q. Can I use the GX9 with consoles like PS5, Xbox, or Switch?
A. Yes. GX9 supports 120Hz via HDMI 2.1 for PS5 and Xbox. The Switch works too, though you’ll get a 16:9 image with sidebars, or you can use PIP mode with it!

u/gchbw2uY4s3l8rT7L : Picture in Picture with the Switch 2 and LG 5K2K works flawlessly [Link]

Q. Is VRR available in both 165Hz and 330Hz modes?

Yes — VRR is supported in both 165Hz native and 330Hz Dual Mode.

Q. Are there plans to release the GX9 in more countries?

Pete breaks it down by use case [Link]

🔧 OLED Usage & Maintenance FAQ

Q. What OLED care features are built-into the GX9?
A. Most of the OLED panel protections like pixel shifting, screen saver, and cleaning are already active by default. You don’t need to manually change anything to stay protected.

LG includes the following features:

Pete Matheson ‘OLED Maintenance’ Part Timestamp here

• OLED Screen Move: This moves the screen slightly at regular intervals to prevent image sticking on the display

• OLED Screen Saver: Screen is turned off if there is no change on the screen for the set period of time (can ON/OFF)

• OLED Image Cleaning: After 4 hours of screen-on time, the GX9 runs a ~10 minute cleaning process next time the screen turns off.

⚠️ Important: Do not cut monitor power during this process (e.g., unplugging, power strip switch-off), or cleaning will be interrupted

It's best not to mess with the default out-of-box settings - they're tuned to help minimize burn-in from the start!

Q. Which OLED Care Mode should I use to prevent burn-in?
A. LG offers four modes — Mode 2 gives the widest pixel movement and is generally the safest.

Pete’s breakdown explains what each mode does:

• Mode 1: pixel shifting in a rectangular pattern

• Mode 2: pixel shifting in a diamond pattern (🟢 recommended)

• Mode 3: same as Mode 1, but smaller shift range

• Mode 4: same as Mode 2, but smaller shift range

These modes activate 2 minutes after idle and shift pixels every 1 minute. Most users won’t even notice it happening.

💡 Want maximum pixel movement? Use Mode 2.

Watch his shorts for more detail! link

Q. Can CPC (vignetting) be turned off permanently?

CPC (Corner Pixel Compensation) is always enabled to reduce the risk of burn-in, and it cannot be disabled.

Looks like LG is already prepping for CES 2026! Their certification filings have just been made public, which basically confirms the successors across their premium tier lineups.

✨ LG OLED Flagships (2026) Confirmed

The next generation of the best-selling OLEDs in the world is coming, and it will probably follow the traditional naming pattern.

OLED Speculations :

• Higher Refresh Rate: The reason for such an upgrade could be the panels that may support a 4K gaming at 240Hz instead of 144Hz.

• Processor: A new Alpha AI Processor with better upscaling and object recognition capabilities.

___

✨ LG QNED Mini-LED (2026) Spotted

The high-brightness Mini-LED line is also confirmed, continuing its push to compete with OLEDs in bright rooms.

QNED Focus

• Brightness: Both peak and sustained brightness should be pushed even higher.

• Contrast: Refining Mini-LED backlight control to cancel out blooming and get very close to OLED black levels.

• Sizes: The documents talk about a 100-inch QNED86B model.

Hello. This is my current setup, I have a LG C4 42 inch as main monitor and tv and second is LG 27GR93U-B 4k ips. I would like to win the LG M5 77inch wireless tv for my livingroom and play on ps/pc, I’m a fan of LG products as you see. Good luck everyone!

Welcome to the LG OLED TV FAQ Megathread!

This thread is dedicated to answering the most common questions from LG OLED TV users - especially those using the 2024–2025 G5 and C5 models. Here, you’ll find practical solutions, troubleshooting tips, and helpful guidance to get the best performance out of your OLED TV.

This FAQ megathread will be continuously updated as new questions and solutions arise, so feel free to bookmark it and check back regularly. If you have additional questions or helpful insights, don’t hesitate to share them in the comments!

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

1) I’m experiencing flickering on my C4 while watching older films. What should I do?
In some cases, flickering may appear due to grain noise introduced during the digital remastering of older films. When sharpness settings are too high, the edges of this noise can momentarily appear unstable and resemble flickering.
To minimize this:

• Try reducing Sharpness to a value between 10–20.

• Lower Auto Dynamic Contrast and Smooth Gradation in the Clarity settings menu.

These adjustments should help stabilize the image.

2) I can’t find the HGiG toggle in the menu.
The HGiG option only becomes available while HDR content is actively being played, such as during gameplay or HDR video playback.
To access it:

• Start a game or HDR movie

• Go to: Settings > Picture > Advanced > Brightness > Dynamic Tone Mapping

• Then select HGiG

3) HDR/Dolby Vision/Filmmaker mode looks too dark on G5/C5?

HDR or Dolby Vision content could appear too dim when viewed in moderately lit or bright rooms—especially when using Filmmaker Mode or Cinema Mode. This happens because these modes are designed to preserve creative intent, assuming the viewer is in a dark, controlled environment.

If you're watching in a brighter room and want to increase brightness without significantly compromising picture quality, try the following:

• Turn off Energy Saving mode (found in Picture Settings → OLED Panel Settings).

• Increase OLED Pixel Brightness (e.g., set it to 80–100).

• Enable Dynamic Tone Mapping (DTM) to boost overall brightness and enhance highlight detail dynamically.

• Use Cinema Home Mode instead of Filmmaker Mode — it applies brighter tone mapping optimized for well-lit environments.

• Try Expert (ISF) Bright Room Mode — it maintains color accuracy while offering sufficient brightness for daytime viewing.

Thanks for stopping by!

4) Any tips to prevent burn-in on the LG OLED G5 ? I love long gaming sessions but worried about burn ins.

G5 has several burn-in prevention tools built in, plus a few habits you can follow:

1. Pixel Cleaning (aka Pixel Refresher)

   • It’s the same thing — LG just calls it “Pixel Cleaning” in the settings.

   • If your TV is on for more than 4 hours straight, Pixel Cleaning will automatically run the next time you turn it off with the remote (keep it plugged in).

   • If it hasn’t run within 24 hours after meeting that condition, you’ll get a pop-up suggesting you run it.

   • Still didn’t run it? You can do it manually: Settings → General → OLED Care → OLED Panel Care → Pixel Cleaning → Quick Check.

2. Screen Shift – Moves the image slightly over time so HUDs or static elements aren’t stuck in one spot.

3. Logo Luminance Adjustment – Detects static HUDs/logos and dims them gradually. (You can go to Settings → General → OLED Care → OLED Panel Care to confirm it’s turned on.)

4. Auto Brightness Limiter (ABL) – Lowers brightness in large bright scenes to reduce heat and wear.

5. Care Prompts – The TV will sometimes suggest running Pixel Cleaning or adjusting settings if it detects uneven wear risk.

Note: Other than Pixel Cleaning, all of these features (2–5) are enabled by default and always running in the background — you don’t have to manually turn them on.

Extra gamer tips:

• Take short breaks every few hours, switch to varied content.

• Avoid leaving the game paused on static screens for long periods.

• Hide HUD elements in-game if the option exists.

Follow these tips and enjoy endless gaming without ever worrying about burn-in.

LG has officially unveiled its Micro RGB Evo TV ahead of CES 2026, and it’s a direct challenge to their own legendary OLED lineup and competitors like Samsung!

This isn't just another Mini-LED. LG has ditched the standard white backlight for individual RGB LEDs, calling it an "evolution" of Mini-LED technology.

Key Details :

• Color Perfection: LG claims the Micro RGB Evo achieves 100% coverage of all three major color spaces (BT.2020, DCI-P3, and Adobe RGB) a feat that has been independently verified by Intertek.

• OLED Precision on LCD: The new tech uses the upgraded a11 AI Processor Gen 3 and Micro Dimming Ultra to control the backlight zones with "OLED precision."

• The Name Game: Samsung and Hisense are bringing similar tech, but everyone is using a different name (LG calls theirs RGB Primary Color Ultra).

LG says Micro RGB will exist alongside their OLEDs, but if this delivers 100% color accuracy plus Mini-LED brightness, will OLED become obsolete for the majority of buyers?

Note: Sizes available are 100, 86, and 75 inches. Price and release date will be announced at CES in January.

I was just reading on CNET and The Verge that LG is officially reviving the Wallpaper OLED (W6) for 2026. I remember these being a massive deal back in 2017 before they got discontinued, but it looks like they actually fixed the biggest issues this time.

The design is basically a 9mm sheet of glass that sits totally flush against the wall and the specs are kind of a leap over the G-series.

Upgrades

• Zero Connect Box: No more HDMI cables dangling or hidden in the wall. You plug everything (consoles, etc.) into a separate box that you can hide up to 33 feet away. (Note: You still need a power cable, though).

• "Reflection-Free" Coating: They’re claiming this is the lowest reflectance they’ve ever done. They did a demo showing black levels staying deep even with the lights on. It's the first TV to get a Reflection Free certification from Intertek.

• Brightness: It’s using the new Brightness Booster Ultra. LG claims it’s 3.9x brighter than "conventional" OLEDs. If it beats the G5 (which hit 2,400 nits), this thing is going to be a torch.

• Hyper Radiant Color: New tech for 2026 that supposedly fixes the color washout you sometimes get at high brightness.

Gaming Specs

• 165Hz Refresh Rate (at 4K).

• 0.1ms response time.

• G-Sync and AMD FreeSync Premium.

• The Zero Connect box makes it way easier to swap cables for your PC/consoles without reaching behind a wall-mounted TV.

Physical

• Sizes: 77-inch and 83-inch.

• Thinness: 9mm (roughly 0.35 inches).

• Mounting: New bracket design makes it sit edge-to-edge flush with the drywall.

The "Wallpaper" design was always cool but felt like a gimmick because of the cables. Now that it’s wireless and glare-free, it actually seems practical for a bright living room.

No pricing yet, but since the old W-series was pricey and this has the wireless tech, it’s probably going to be expensive.
