Trade shows like CES and this week's CEDIA Expo used to be all about TV manufacturers one-upping each other: brighter TVs, thinner TVs, infinite black levels and of course larger screens. It looks like LG is trying to bring back this trend. The company just unveiled their largest OLED TV ever. In fact it appears to be the largest OLED TV on the planet. The OLED97G2 4K evo Gallery Series OLED TV measures 97 inches from corner to corner. Yep, that's over 8 feet of OLED self-illuminating pixel goodness.
The 97-inch G2 TV's suggested retail price is $24,999 which is about the same price as it's 8K little brother, the 88-inch Z2 Series OLED. The G2 series sets have been available in smaller sizes since this spring, and they've been getting rave reviews from journalists and consumers alike. The TV uses LG's Alpha 9 Gen 5 AI Processor and advanced algorithms to deliver life-like images and a more theater-like viewing experience. It also includes a next generation ATSC 3.0 tuner on board so you can watch live Ultra HD content for free over the air in certain markets. While the set weighs in at about 123 pounds, it can be wall-mounted and incorporates LG's flush-to-the-wall Gallery Design for a seamless, integrated look.
Of course, it's got streaming too, courtesy of LG's WebOS streaming platform. You'll find all the usual streaming suspects here like Netflix, Disney+, Amazon Prime Video, HBO Max, Apple TV+ and many more. You can even display and trade NFT digital artwork on the set thanks to LG's exclusive LG Art Lab platform.
The set also includes Dolby Vision HDR and Dolby Atmos support, for a more dynamic and cinematic experience. Dolby Atmos uses the TV's built-in speakers to create a "Virtual 7.1.2" channel experience. Though of course, we'd still recommend hooking up a component-based surround sound system for truly immersive surround sound. If you're going to pony up $25K for the display, you can afford a bit extra for the sound system.
The 97-inch G2 Series TV can be ordered now via select LG dealers including Amazon and Value Electronics.
