CES 2019 ended last week and we were able to see some of the gadgets that will shape 2019. Among many Alexa, Google and Siri integrated devices we could also see new TV technologies developed by LG and Samsung. Both giants came up with some amazing new ideas, LG with a finalized product, while Samsung with a promising new technology.
LG Signature OLED TV R
Also known as LG’s rollable TV, this amazing new 65-inch TV was also seen last year during CES 2018, but it was more like a future product/concept than a real deal. We learned that this year LG has improved it and it is ready to sell it soon with a high price of $8000.
To begin with, we know that the aspect ratio can be adjusted in different ways to fulfill your cinematic experience: Full View, Line View and Zero View:
- Full view is the default mode. This lets the TV behave normally while the OLED capabilities, amazing contrast, full viewing angle and realism are exposed.
- Line View lets you lower most of the OLED panel and leave only about 1/3 of it. This is great for apps or looking at some photos or notating to music.
- On the other hand Zero View mode rolls down the OLED panel and hides it in the box.
LG OLED TV R will be fully compatible with Amazon Alexa and Apple Airplay 2 + HomeKit, so expect cool integration in the near future.

It will be cool if LG allows the TV to adjust the picture and aspect ratio, so you can eliminate the black bars while watching movies. I think this TV is something worth watching.
Samsung Modular Micro LED TV
Also known as “The Wall”, this cool TV technology is just a concept for now
Samsung showed us a glimpse of what this new technology is capable of. It measures 146 inches and uses MicroLED technology to produce what Samsung believes is the best image quality. To deliver this exceptional picture quality, the TV obviously has technology and modular capabilities.
The Micro LEDs are made up of millions of inorganic red, green and blue microscopic LED chips that emit their own light to produce brilliant colors on the screen.
One of the coolest things about this new technology is that it gives you the ability to customize your own TV page in the future. And apart from this there is no bezel.
Samsung claims that regardless of the size of the customized TV, the quality of the content will not be affected.
So there you have it. After years of struggles and no groundbreaking new technologies, two of the leading TV giants are finally back with something real that we can experience this year or in the near future.
We’re calling this a giveaway because we can’t decide a winner today, but you can let us know which new TV technology excited you more – was it LG or Samsung?
