LG are upsizing this year with massive screen sizes on their flagship OLED evo and QNED 4KTVs, and introducing the world-first OLED evo with 4K wireless transmission from a separate connect box. Words Scott Hocking AND MEGA-SIZED SCREENS FROM LG A WORLD-FIRST FOR OLED EVO

LG OLED evo 4K – M4 and G4 Screen sizes: M4 – 77”| 83”| 97” G4 – 55”| 65”| 77”| 83”| 97” LG have been market leaders in premium OLED 4K TVs for 11 years now, and their 2024 range is spearheaded by the big OLED evo M4 and G4. The M4 is the world’s first OLED evo TV to feature wireless 4K picture and audio transmission via the Zero Connect box. The M4 is designed for flush wall mounting using the included bracket, so picture and audio is sent wirelessly from the separate box, allowing the panel to stand alone, gallery style. The brain of these flagship

AI Brightness Control and Brightness Booster Max work together to ensure you don’t miss the fine details when viewing in a well-lit room, with up to 150% higher peak brightness than non-OLED evo models. AI processing also enhances and fine tunes the 11.1.2 channel virtual surround sound output from the TVs’ inbuilt speakers for a more balanced soundscape, with WOW Orchestra support to combine audio from the TV speakers with a compatible LG soundbar (see page 34 for more). And the Multi-View function has been updated for the M4 and G4 models; users are now able to view content onscreen from four different sources at once. Complementing Filmmaker Mode, which presents the picture exactly as the director intended, is the new AI Director processing feature that analyses a scene to preserve its

original colour tone, as well as enhancing subtle highlights. The M4 and G4 series OLED evos are also geared towards gamers, with up to 144Hz refresh rate (increased from 120Hz) and AMD Freesync Premium and VRR support (see page 42 for more). Who is it for? LG has over a decade’s experience perfecting OLED tech, so if you’re looking for one of the best TVs that money can buy, you’ll find it in the OLED evo M4 and G4.
