As the CES 2024 craze fades down, let's talk about the most exciting TVs coming this year. Because there's going to be a whole lot of exciting products coming up. At the same time, we also want to ** why we should be so excited about these TVs, and not just attracted by the hype of the moment.
I say this every year because one thing remains the same: CES is an event full of hype. In Las Vegas, the most hyped city, all the shiny new gear, especially the TV, was incredibly striking at that moment. I think that's why we love CES. At this exhibition, it is not the time for me to try to be pragmatic, in the face of many models and related specifications, I am almost overwhelmed when shooting on site.
But for now, we can calm down a bit and take a moment to discuss which TVs are the most anticipated and the more rational reasons why they're exciting. Sometimes, it's because they're bordering on controversy – or at least quite controversial in the field of television technology.
In the order I saw it on CES, the first thing to mention in this list is LG.
As you might guess, I'll start with the LG Transparent OLED TV, which is officially known as the LG Signature OLED T. But it didn't. Don't get me wrong, it's really cool, and I'd love to have more opportunities to get up close and personal with it. But as cool as it is, it's a featured TV that only a few wealthy people buy. Exciting? Of course! Will I review? I very much hope so. But I'd like to focus more on the TVs that readers might buy, and at this point, I don't think the OLED T will be one of them.
What I really want to focus on is the LG G4 Gallery Series OLED and its wireless partner, the OLED M. The two TVs are essentially the same in terms of picture quality performance, but the OLED M is equipped with LG's Zero Connect box, so the design is slightly different.
*The LG G4 is exciting because it features the latest MLA (Micro Lens Array) WOLED panels. I wasn't expecting a revolutionary boost in brightness, but I think LG has a chance to slightly increase the average brightness due to the slightly more efficient new MLA panel. This will result in higher overall brightness and may allow LG to relax a little bit on the protective auto-brightness limiter.
I haven't overlooked the LG C4 OLED, which I think has the potential to be a strong contender this year. But I still try to focus on the most anticipated TVs, and for me, it's the LG G4 and the new OLED M wireless series that extends from it.
Next up is Samsung. First, a little vignette: Samsung's "First Look" campaign was a dazzling sight to behold. Samsung showcased a wide range of products, including televisions, speakers, projectors, computers, and a variety of other devices that made it difficult to take a look at them all.
However, Samsung put more effort into promoting its latest top-of-the-line OLED TV, the S95D, and its futuristic transparent Micro-LED technology, rather than most other TVs.
I'm looking forward to Samsung's new Neo QLED TVs, which are expected to include some interesting software features. But from a picture quality performance perspective, I'm not sure how far they can be compared to the 2023 model. We'll see. But if we want to talk about excitement, we have to focus on two main products.
The first is the **S95D OLED TV. In 2024, there are two significant changes to this TV: First, the Samsung display is more efficient and slightly brighter.
