LG has unveiled an array of devices to make smart homes even smarter - including a radical ultrathin TV than can be hung on the wall with magnets.
The ultrathin LG Signature OLED W television is just just 2.57mm thin in the 65-inch model, and mounts seamlessly to the wall to create the experience of ‘looking through a window into another world.’
The company is set to market the device, which as yet has no price or release date, as a 'wallpaper' TV.
To avoid cables, it has a single cable that runs to a sound bar, which has all of the normal connectors.
There is built-in Wi-Fi and four HDMI ports, complete with 4K video and HDR tech, and will also be available in a 77-inch version.
The smart TV's operating system is an enhanced version of webOS: webOS 3.5, and the set is also 25 per cent brighter than last year's Signature edition OLED TV.
LG revealed its 2017 Super UDH TV lineup, which uses the firm’s nano cell display technology to generate the most accurate colors, and reduce screen glow.
The uniformly sized one nanometer dots cover the panel, and help to suppress wavelengths of light.

Ideal for those of you with steel walls!

LOL - very good.
There is a paint that already has filings mixed in,
interesting
GEEZ!! I’m so happy to learn of this. Now I have the reason to panel my walls with sheet metal. Something I’ve always wanted to do.
they do that already. people do it in kitchens for places to hang notes and pictures/drawings. invisible message boards.
makes the paint cans really heavy!
“The connection was reset.”
This is what I usually get when clicking on Freerepublic threads tonight.
Meh. I got other stuff to do.

Yup. Although I recently tried some Samsung VR goggles. They will replace the whole four wall idea very shortly.
They are banned from my house.
I know this is radical, but the magnets may screw into the wall.
It’s about time someone started producing thin and flexible TVs from OLED materials printed on plastic substrates. Hopefully the 150” size screens in 4K resolution will get down to less than $1,000 before I have to replace my current projector.
The beauty of OLED technology when I first read about it 15 years ago was that it didn’t require clean rooms like LCD and could be printed on durable plastic substrates instead of the fragile glass screens of LCD and Plasma sets. Being able to ship and transport a lightweight screen rolled up like a poster in a tube 6’ long would be ideal.

If anyone asks, just tell them you’re building a giant Faraday cage to protect your electronics from a Nork EMP attack.
They’ll soon quit asking you questions about anything.
Ping.
Will soon be outdated and obsolete with the new hologram devices in three years.
This will look great in the bullet proof steel lined shelter. I wonder what it will sound like bouncing off the steel walls?
Science fiction lives.
