50 mins till? Sony conference? I think the LG is 8am PST.

Per the YouTube link posted earlier, the countdown ends in 15 minutes.
I do see that the time is supposed to be 8am pst though.

Edit: now it's 25 mins

Added to the OP, thanks!

 

[dallow_bg]

Ah yeah. LG YouTube link is live now but is just showing a splash screen.
Can't wait!

 

[Trojita]

I'm really excited to see the difference between all the maker's OLEDs.

LG still has some short comings they need to overcome, and unfortunately they have been problems LG's had for awhile.

 

[holygeesus]

I'm really excited to see the difference between all the maker's OLEDs.

I doubt very much that there will be much difference between them when delivering high quality sources in a stage-managed demonstration. What will be more interesting to me, is how they handle the nuances of the technology, such as dealing with compressed feeds e.g. Netflix and how they look in home viewing conditions.

I'll be waiting till after launch anyway and seeing how things settle. Happy with my B6 until then.

LG's conference is about to start.

Thx!

 

[RoboPlato]

Do we know if Panasonic is actually going to release this year's OLEDs in the US?

 

[holygeesus]

Those LG robots look like the ones in Watch Dogs 2.

 

[JMZ555]

Im hoping to see the new JVC projectors which now finally have a low input lag mode.

 

[dallow_bg]

Do we know if Panasonic is actually going to release this year's OLEDs in the US?

No plans at this time.
Release in May for Europe though.

 

[RoboPlato]

Release in May for Europe though.

I also didn't get an answer last night. Are Samsung's QLED TVs still edge lit or do they have proper full array local dimming? I either want OLED or FALD LED for my upgrade this year.

They're edge lit

 

[CrimsonEclipse]

All this fridge talk lol.

Also, does that guy who is talking about Alexa have piece of scotch tape on his face to hold the mic? lol!

 

[vpance]

Those robots remind me a bit of the ones from Playroom. And Watch Dogs 2, lol.

 

[BumRush]

The LG conference has successfully put milk on my echos shopping list and tried to purchase sparkling water and celery.

 

[dallow_bg]

That hub robot is so cute.
Useless for me, but cute.

 

[NYR]

The future is here! SKYNET IS HEREEEEEEE, ROBOTS EVERYWHERE

 

[Kyoufu]

I saw what happened in Animatrix, LG. We are all doomed.

 

[Afrikan]

Kids who want to mow lawns for money. :/

Takin their jabz!

 

[DieH@rd]

"Shitting on Samsung" segment was great.

 

[NYR]

OLED TIIIIIIIIIIIIIIME

 

[BumRush]

Hang on to your butts...OLED time!

 

[NYR]

2 new HDR options for 2017 OLEDs:

• HLG
  
• Advanced HDR Technicolor

 

[pswii60]

Yet two more HDR standards wtf!

It's getting ridiculous now.

 

[NYR]

25% improvement in peak brightness for 2017 OLEDs.

 

[holygeesus]

25% more brightness? Meh.

 

[DieH@rd]

Yet two more HDR standards wtf!

It's getting ridiculous now.

Just two? By the end of the day and all presentations, we will get 10 of them.

 

[Crimson_Gold]

Yet two more HDR standards wtf!

It's getting ridiculous now.

You will love the next 3. All of them will attempt to unify the previous 4

 

[dallow_bg]

And now sound. ::mute::

So no 3D details... I'm scared.

 

[pswii60]

25% improvement in brightness for 2017 OLEDs.

That's impressive, but still not 1000 nits for HDR, I think. I'm more than happy with the HDR performance on my C6 though, so this will be even more impressive.

 

[vpance]

Yet two more HDR standards wtf!

It's getting ridiculous now.

Yeah. Good on LG for including them all though!

 

[NYR]

Yet two more HDR standards wtf!

It's getting ridiculous now.

It's funny, Dolby Vision isn't even picking up steam, this is the kind of crap that pisses customers off, so many standards, almost worth waiting for some to die.

 

[BumRush]

25% improvement in brightness is on the low end of what I was hoping for, but it's better than nothing.

 

[Heel]

That's impressive, but still not 1000 nits for HDR, I think. I'm more than happy with the HDR performance on my C6 though, so this will be even more impressive.

Yeah, the rumor was they'd reach 1000 nits this year. Doesn't seem so.

 

[NYR]

That's impressive, but still not 1000 nits for HDR, I think. I'm more than happy with the HDR performance on my C6 though, so this will be even more impressive.

Yep, disappointing, I think that would be around 750ish nits? Making me glad I already bought my E6.

 

[CrimsonEclipse]

This OLED sounds like its gonna be just as expensive or more....I may need to see how their "nano cell" tech holds on out LCD but gah they are gonna be IPS panels it seems...booo!

 

[NYR]

The 7 series for 2017 almost look identical to the 2016 models?? Wow, they only did an iterative update. Wow.

 

[pswii60]

Ah, the W7 really is Wallpaper

 

[dallow_bg]

Ah, the W7 really is Wallpaper

How much......

 

[NYR]

Eh, the Wallpaper is the closer. That thing will cost $20,000, easy.

Disappointing showing if you were waiting for the 2017 OLEDs, not much difference, but 25% increase in peak brightness is nice.

 

[DOT DASH DOT]

This is what happens when only 1 mediocre company make OLED panels! Panasonic, Sony etc will have to suck those 800 nits up!

 

[Darryl M R]

Picture on Wall

POW

Prisoner of War

Pick a better phrase next time.

 

[BumRush]

Holy shit...1/10 of an inch for the new "W" series.

 

[pswii60]

I want a wallpaper TV already.

So awesome.

Where are the HDMI ports though?!

EDIT: Oh, in the sound bar thingy.

 

[NYR]

Can't wait for the first post from someone complaining how their kid ripped the TV from its magnet strip and then ripped the TV in half.

 

[DieH@rd]

Whaaaaa.....


How? Is the rest of the TV down in the base station?
