LG's new rollable TV will descend from the ceiling like a projector screen

LG has been refining its rollable TV concept for years, and we're given a taste of what's coming next at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas happening. At this year's CES, which starts on January 7, LG will showcase a new prototype that descends from the ceiling, similar to a projector screen. Since it's a television, it wouldn't need a projector. The idea also plays into LG's concept of reducing the space your TV needs to take up—by putting it up on the ceiling, it all but eliminates the TV stand. LG hasn't shown yet how this concept will work, but we're going to learn more about it in the next few days. We'll also find out then if LG plans to bring this concept to the market.

Experiencing the LG Signature OLED W7 4K TV

They had me at wallpaper.  I had heard that LG had introduce this insanely thin TV into the marketplace and I had to see it for my own eyes. Where are the wires? How do you install this monster of a TV on the wall? At a whopping 65-inch (or 77-inch) it makes me nervous. The LG Signature W7 OLED TV is not for the faint of heart in many ways. 

LG sent over an invite to their Canadian HQ to experience what this TV has to offer. They had mentioned that after the briefing highlights on the new TV, I would have time to do whatever I choose. Netflix? Gaming? Sure...er, how about both!

LG OLED prototype as thin as wallpaper

How would you like a TV so thin you can peel it off like wallpaper? LG’s latest TV concept with 

organic light-emitting diode (OLED) technology shows us the possibility. The 55-inch OLED 

display is a mere 0.97mm thick and weighs 1.9kg. It can be stuck on a wall using a magnetic 

mat that you can peel off like wallpaper. Of course, it probably got to this size because the 

circuitry needed to make a TV work isn’t integrated yet. Also keeping the weight and thickness 

down is OLED technology because without the need for backlights, it can make TVs even 

lighter. 

 

However, OLED is pretty tricky to produce, thus resulting in exorbitant prices. But it would 

seem LG doesn’t want to give up on the technology just yet.
