In case you missed it, LG’s W7 series “wallpaper” OLED TV was the toast of CES 2017. For many, it represents the ultimate in TV design. At just 2.57mm thin – about the thickness of three quarters stacked together – it looks more like a window on the wall than any TV you’ve seen before. And at about 16.5 pounds, the display panel is light enough to hang like a piece of art, held fast by a set of magnets. In terms of cool-factor, no other TV can touch it.
Striking design is just the beginning of the story here, though. Certainly, because it is an OLED TV, reviewers such as myself are necessarily going to trip over themselves coming up with new ways to describe just how much of a feast for the eyes it is, but the W7 series is part of a new breed of OLED televisions for LG – one that is brighter, more accurate, and more capable than those of the past – making the task even tougher.
What’s more, while the W7 itself is certainly a remarkable TV, perhaps more exciting is the fact that every series in LG’s OLED lineup this year uses the same panel and the same processing chips. That means that, depending on your demand for fancy design elements and enhanced audio systems, you can get the same stunning picture quality throughout the line, right down to the “entry-level” B7 series, expected to be unleashed in April 2017.
