LG Unveils 65-inch “roll-away” 4K TV – Signature OLED TV R

CES 2019 is still ongoing and we are just getting started with mind blowing technology.  LG has unveiled a “world-first” at CES 2019, a rollable OLED TV that packs itself away when you are finished using it.

dubbed Signature OLED TV R, and it features a 4K (3,840 x 2,60) display that rolls up into a stylish base.

According to LG, “LG has created a TV with a display that uses revolutionary flexible screen technology that allows the screen to roll up and roll back out when needed,”

“The ‘R’ in the new Signature OLED TV R is about creating a revolution in home entertainment and redefining space through its ability to rise and roll-up at the touch of a button.”

The TV can place itself in three viewing configurations, depending on what the user needs. These are:

• Full View – a full-screen view with excellent sound and image quality.
• Line View – the screen is partially unrolled, allowing for functions like the clock, weather, photos, and music to be managed.
• Zero View – display is fully packed away and the powerful built-in sound system can be used.

These three positions are shown in the image below, and can be controlled with user voice commands or button touch.

The Signature TV is powered by second-generation Alpha 9 processor and deep learning Algorithm. It supports Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant, Apple AirPlay 2 and HomeKit – making the TV a hub for home automation.

It has a built-in-system which packs 4.2 channel output (100W) and support for Dolby Atmos.

Given that it took just a year for LG Display’s rollable OLED to turn into an actual TV (very rich) people can buy, we can expect to see both technologies in TVs soon.
