- Hey guys, this is Austin.
And today I'm here at CES with a little bit of a sneak peek
at what LG has cooking up.
Not only were they awesome enough to sponsor this video,
but importantly, they gave me a badge to get in
a whole day early, so I can explore
before everyone else gets here, shhh.
So if you look behind me,
you might notice the star of the show.
This is the LG Signature OLED TV R.
The R stands for rollable, as these are well,
completely flexible OLEDs.
So there are a couple components to the TV.
First of all, is the stand which does come with it,
but above that, that is the actual main base.
So you can see as the TV rolls out,
it's all sort of coiled up inside,
and there's a really cool mechanism
that actually sort of, pulls the TV up
and keeps it straight.
Now you might think, oh look at that rollable TV,
you're gonna notice some sort of
picture quality issues or anything,
but just like with the wallpaper TV,
it looks exactly like the other OLEDs with the added benefit
of being able to disappear when you don't wanna watch TV.
So you might wonder,
why exactly do you want a TV that can roll up?
Well if you imagine if you put it in front of say a window,
you could roll it all the way down and have essentially
just a nice piece of furniture,
and when you're ready to watch TV,
you hit a single button
and the TV springs to life, rolls to life,
animates to life... I'm out of synonyms and adjectives.
So in addition to full view, which is the TV extended,
you also can use what's known as line view.
And this gives you about 75% of the TV rolled up,
so it's much smaller, and in that case
you can put up things like the gallery, listen to music,
or you can just completely hide the TV,
and the speaker does still function.
Now as you might expect,
we don't exactly have a price on this guy,
although it won't come cheap.
But it actually will be coming out this year.
Now if that's not crazy enough for you,
I think this definitely will be.
This is an 88 inch, 8K OLED.
Yes, you heard me right.
It's an 88 inch, 8K OLED.
I want one.
Every year at CES there are a ton of TVs,
and usually they get better and better,
but this is hands down the best looking panel
I have ever seen, like full stop.
So of course, OLEDs already have great picture quality.
When you combine that with a full 8K resolution,
I mean, it is ridiculous.
You cannot see pixels unless you're like,
really uncomfortably close.
This is legitimately my dream TV.
Right, it's massive.
This is the biggest OLED they've ever made.
Even watching this video,
you can watch it in 4K all you want,
you cannot see just how sharp, just how crisp this TV is.
Now it is very early days for 8K,
there's really not a lot of 8K content out there.
So YouTube is actually one of the few platforms
that does already support 8K,
so you will be able to watch 8K videos straight on the TV.
But on top of that, it does support HDMI 2.1.
Actually you know I've never really thought about it,
we've never uploaded a video in 8K,
but theoretically we could upload it
and watch them all on our 8K OLED.
Right LG?
Now, if that's not enough 8K for you,
there's also a brand new NanoCell 8K TV.
And the main difference here--
Ohhhh!
- Sorry.
(censor beep)
- If that's not enough 8K for you,
there's also the 8K NanoCell TV.
This creates OLED for LCD,
and you have to go down to a mere 75 inches,
as if that was not already enormous enough.
But the main thing here is that you still get
all of those key upgrades with going to 8K.
Moving into a slightly darker environment,
we have the LG Cinebeam HU85L.
Now this is their latest ultra short throw projector,
and at a full 120 inches, this looks nice.
Now we are at a pretty bright show floor.
Usually you wanna watch a projector
in a little bit of a darker environment,
but this is surprisingly bright.
Of course, it is a full 4K projector, and importantly,
it is a dual laser projector as well.
When I say ultra short throw, I mean it.
You get a full 120 inch display from only 7 inches away.
What's cool about this, is that the unit itself
is actually still fairly compact.
I know it's not quite as portable
as the last Cinebeam that we took a look at,
but if you're doing a proper home theater set up,
full 4K, plenty of brightness,
this is a really good way of going.
Now when it comes to audio,
there's a couple really cool things here,
and most noticeably there's the SL9 Soundbar.
So on one hand, you can actually wall mount it
and have it completely flat,
or if you wait for it to actually come up,
you also could do it in a standard orientation
like you would normally put on a table.
What's cool about this, is that it does take advantage
of Dolby Atmos as well.
But it's really cool to be able to have a single soundbar
which can serve multiple functions
depending on how you want to use it.
In case you're curious,
it sadly does not come with a full, motorized wall mount.
(cheerful music)
Is that how you do an audio demo?
Continuing down that audio side,
we have a series of XBOOM speakers.
And first of all, we have the small guys,
so these are the XBOOM Go.
(upbeat music)
Yeah, there we go.
So on the XBOOM Go side, the PK7, the 5 and the 3
are all available on sale right now.
On top of that, we also do have the AI side of things.
So these both take advantage of Google Assistant.
So this is actually something
we've already taken a look at in the past,
but this is the one that has the full smart display
with Google Assistant.
- [Austin on device] Hey guys, this is Austin.
The LG gram was one of my favorite laptops of 2017.
- The idea that you have the display
does make Google Assistant a lot more useful,
and on top of that, it sounds pretty solid as well.
It sounds pretty solid as well.
I like when my voice cracks in the video, oh boy.
There's also a pair of brand new LG grams this year.
So not only does the 14 come in a 2 in 1 form factor,
but there's also now a 17 inch gram.
Considering that you have a full 17 inch display,
with a 2560 by 1600 resolution,
the fact that this laptop weighs less than 3 pounds
is incredibly impressive.
Now, if we walk a little bit over to this side,
we have the gram 2 in 1.
So what's cool about this, is of course you can use it
in the standard laptop mode,
or you can flip it around
and take advantage of it being a full 2 in 1.
Now if you wanna know more about the gram,
we're actually going to be doing
a lot more on this very soon, so stay tuned,
and with that, I think we're about to get kicked out.
Like, literally everything's turning off around us.
So that my friends is a sneak peek
at what LG has at CES this year.
If you're interested in anything that I talked about,
I'll have links to as much of it as I can
in the description.
And stay tuned, we might just get
a couple things in the office for some videos.
(censor beep)
It's legitimately time to leave,
they're shutting everything down around us.
