LG 55EA980V – The first curved OLED TV

The first OLED TV by the revolutionary curved shape, 55 inches in size to provide a field of view like no other, created by the LG South Korean.

It is not hard to see why fans expect from such a long time the first OLED TV: This is the first really new TV technology for over a decade now and the first that can potentially provide the image of perfection. With the plasma that is now inexorably moving towards its sunset and the LCD that, despite all the technological advances of recent years, it has never failed to deliver a reference quality.

The OLED is now the only credible candidate for bring attention to the quality of image. What is the first LG OLED TV business model of a certain size to arrive on the consumer market and the curiosity and the desire to find out if a product can meet the incredible expectations that have been created around the myth of the OLED are clearly the stars.

LG 55EA980V – Thin, Light and … Curved!

TV as thin as a sheet of paper is one of the promises of OLED technology and LG 55EA980V shows off one of the thinner screens ever seen: the actual panel is often less than an inch and the thickness of the TV is concentrated mainly in the center, where you will find the inevitable electronics for its operation. The panel is then almost an edge to edge, ie a frame of a few millimeters.

The TV is very light for a 55 inch, just 17.2 kg, including the base which is an integral part of the curvy design of the product. While I was preparing to launch a new TV technology, LG (as compatriot Samsung), has also decided to inaugurate the trend of the curved display, at least from the point of view of aesthetics led to the creation of a truly smart TV.

The building is well-kept and well finished, but the cabinet still remains essentially plastic. The aesthetic detail the most interesting is the basis of transparent Plexiglas that leaves the TV as if suspended on its support.

The base holds the screen slightly tilted backwards, assuming the installation of a low cabinet. Set the extremes of the transparent base are the two flat speakers, assisted by other two woofers pointing downwards, covered by a plastic panel on which the base is engaged, that curve within just in the presence of the speakers. Speakers actually do their job in a more than decent, with a yield higher than the average TV sound of the last period, although such a product requires a dedicated home theater system and how it should be done.

LG 55EA980V – Full connections.

In terms of connections, there are no surprises. All connectors are placed on the back of the TV, part of a vertical panel that looks sideways, down part, the latter in a cockpit that can be covered by a flap supplied. We find the now standard set of inputs: 4 HDMI, SCART (via dongle included), component.

The TV supports a large number of video / audio formats using the integrated media player, integrates the DTS decoder, but in spite of what was initially assumed is not yet compatible with the new coding HEVC, at least not from a file. The TV is equipped with Bluetooth, WiFi and NFC, the latter used for the pairing of smartphones and tablets Miracast.

LG 55EA980V is a TV with the best of video and audio technology in an innovative design. LG 55EA980V display has a very thin, only a few millimeters and with high-quality finishes, it offers extremely realistic cinematic experience in 3D and converts 2D movies into 3D.
