LG has a 97-inch vibrating OLED TV that claims it can offer 5.1 audio sans speakers

LG Display is known to experiment with different concepts for its OLED panels. The latest one toys around with the idea of using the display to vibrate sound instead of relying on separate speakers. If the technology seems familiar, Sony has similar technology it calls Acoustic Surface. That tech has been around since 2017. But what separates LG's experiment with its 97-inch OLED EX panel is it claims to offer a 5.1 channel sound system embedded into the widescreen. 

Ars Technica pointed out that it's unclear how this will work, given that the sound comes from a central point. But it's not to say it couldn't produce decent sound. LG Display has shared information on whether the technology will arrive in upcoming OLED televisions, but we'll keep an eye out for it.

CES 2020: LG introduces slim GX Gallery OLED TVs you can hang on your wall

One of the newest innovations LG launched at its Consumer Electronics Show keynote is its new GX Gallery Series of TVs, which are alternatives to the ultrathin wallpaper OLED TVs the company has been selling for a few years. The GX model is just 20mm thick, letting you hang this television like a picture frame without the add-on box of its predecessor. All the components are hidden behind the TV. And thanks to a specially-designed indent space for the wall-mount, there will be no noticeable gap between the TV and your wall. LG will sell the GX Series in 55-, 65-, and 77-inch versions. There is no word yet about availability or price.

CES 2018: LG’s new 65-inch OLED TV concept can be rolled up like a poster

LG showed off is Wallpaper TV at last year’s CES. This time around, the company is going thinner and is showing off a new concept that makes that TV look bulky. This new concept is a 65-inch 4K OLED TV that is basically like a giant poster. It comes with a giant, block-like base where the TV rolls back into when not in use. Why would anyone want a TV like this, you ask? LG argues that this will be a space saver and boost portability (not that we’d want to lug around a 65-inch TV, but we get the idea). We don’t know when this concept might actually be seen in stores but as BGR points out, it does give us hope that those “electronic newspapers” that you can stow away might be in our future sooner than we think.
