Time for a New TV? Here Are 4 Reasons You Should Consider OLED

Throughout most of 2020, there's a good chance you've been spending more time at home than ever before.
So it stands to reason that during that time you've had the television or TVs throughout your house, apartment or condo turned on more often than you may have in the past.
This means it's become a bit easier to pick out flaws in the picture quality, and to give yourself reasons to start searching for an upgrade.
If so, you'll want to include an LG OLED TV in your list of options.
They're a great way to make the most out of the time you spend with your TV—whether you're streaming a show with the family, watching live sports with friends, gaming by yourself or anything in between.
"OLED is at the premium end of the TV spectrum, but for someone who is using their TV as the centerpiece of their home, as a lot of people are, I think it's a great investment, because you're going to get enjoyment out of it every day, no matter what you're using it for, whether it's a movie with a darker environment, sports in a lighter environment, video games, anything," says Tim Alessi, Senior Director of Product Marketing at LG.
Here are a few reasons why an LG OLED TV deserves to be your next television investment.
No backlight makes for a better picture
"OLED" stands for "organic light-emitting diode," which, put simply, means they have the pretty unique ability to produce both light and color from a single diode (which is an electrical component that conducts current, used to help many devices function).
Because of this, each of the millions of pixels of an OLED TV, like the LG GX 77 inch Class with Gallery Design 4K Smart OLED TV, emit their own light. Only OLED can turn pixels off completely and independently. No LED or LCD TV can do that.
If you happen to be a gamer, LG OLED TVs were the first G-SYNC compatible televisions on the market, which is important. With LG OLED TVs, you can experience immersive gaming like never before. Only OLED TVs with NVIDIA G-SYNC compatibility can provide the exceptional picture quality of perfect black and intense colors combined with smooth gameplay to take gaming to new heights.
They use the power of self-lit pixels
Self-lit pixels are worth mentioning again. LG OLED TVs are powered by 8.3 million of them. That's a lot of pixels. And they emit their own light. Only OLED can turn pixels off completely, so you can see stunning picture, perfect black, infinite contrast and over a billion rich colors. Once you've seen LG OLED TV, you'll understand the difference.
OLED TVs can reach a "perfect black"
The blacker your TV can go, the better the overall image quality. This might initially seem counterintuitive, but it actually makes perfect sense, since black has an important effect on image quality.
Millions of OLED pixels in OLED TVs emit their own light independently and can be completely turned off. This unveils perfect black, over a billion rich colors and infinite contrast, enabling to see more detail. Scenes are more natural and never washed out. Clarity is revealed in everything you watch. It's a small detail that makes a big difference to movies, shows, sports and games.
LG has made some of the world's best models
LG touts a vast selection of OLED TVs that come with different features and capabilities, and in different sizes, and among them is the LG GX 77 inch Class with Gallery Design 4K Smart OLED TV. It's the world's #1 selling OLED TV model for a reason—or plenty of them. Like any LG OLED TV, it makes the most of all its millions of OLED pixels, and at 77 inches it's at a size that can help make your viewing and gaming experiences more immersive than you may have ever previously imagined.
It's also an art-inspired TV with perfect lines and an unbelievably thin bezel, with no gap from screen to wall. LG's Gallery Design puts the spotlight on your content while complementing your home's interior.
"Since they don't need a backlight they can be ultra thin, so the structure is much simpler and we've really pushed the limits on what we can do with that," says Alessi. "Our TVs have a really stunning, slim profile."
