LG has announced its first Direct View LED (DVLED) displays for high-end residential installations with home cinema screen sizes available from 81- up to 325-inches diagonal. The ‘LG DVLED Extreme Home Cinema’ line represents the company’s move into the “super-luxury residential display segment”.
By using up to 33 million individual diodes (depending on resolution), LG says it is delivering “superb performance with exceptional brightness” combined with improved lifespans, viewing angles and high color gamuts (even in rooms with windows and high ambient light). Direct View LED technology images – unlike LED TVs with backlights – are created directly by LED diodes for high contrast and brightness. As well as 16:9 models, there are also UltraStretch options at 32:9 for applications such as live sports. With LG’s own webOS technology, artwork can be stored on the displays without the need of WiFi. The supersize TVs can also interface with webOS-compatible content management systems for multi-window viewing.
“This truly is the supercar of home display technologies, offering hand-constructed quality and performance that appeals to those with luxury lifestyles who want something that is not only immersive, but also highly exclusive,” said Dan Smith, LG Electronics USA’s vice president in charge of DVLED displays. “LG DVLED Extreme Home Cinema Display technology is rated to last 100,000 hours before reaching half-life, meaning that it could deliver stunning visuals for over 10 years.”
The full line of LG DVLED Extreme Home Cinema Displays is now available for order through the custom installation channel only, and require special flight cases for shipping.
