Earlier today, in an exclusive event at the newly-opened Nation Museum of Natural History, LG unveiled its newest innovation, the 77″ OLED Wallpaper TV (W8) with one of the museum’s most notable landmarks, the tree of life providing an ideal backdrop for the occasion.
At only 2.57mm thin, and 77 inches wide, the W8 actually looks more of a window than a TV in a living room, and promises to deliver an unmatched home entertainment experience. It covers every aspect of picture quality, from color, to sharpness and brightness, to deep blacks and superior contrast.
The W8’s A9 processor, allows users to view every bit of detail the way they’re meant to be seen. It’s also equipped with AI features through the ThinQ platform, which means users can control it using various voice commands.
To showcase the W8’s capabilities, LG also did a preview of a video that was commissioned for the museum, as part of its campaign to spread awareness and educate. Shot on 4K by underwater photographer and videographer Noel Guevara, the video highlights the rich marine life and coral reefs at Balicasag Island in Bohol.
LG’s OLED TV Brand Ambassador, James Deakin, also presented a video about his thoughts on the product, and how OLED has improved his family’s viewing experience.
[su_quote cite=”Mr. James Deakin, LG OLED TV Brand Ambassador”]Once you’ve watched something on the OLED, it’s really hard to go back to anything else. The picture quality is awesome – it’s really easy on the eyes and the sound quality is excellent – you don’t need boosters. Movie nights are a lot better, playing video games is much better, watching sports too is so much better. There’s no going back.[/su_quote]
[su_quote cite=”Mr. Jongnam An, Vice President – Home Entertainment at LG Philippines”]The W8 highlights the true extent of LG’s innovation and passion for consumer-centric experiences. We always try to provide our customers with the most advanced innovations to deliver unrivaled viewing experiences and cutting-edge designs that enhance their everyday lives.[/su_quote]
In its aim of promoting a more holistic and interactive experience for the museum’s visitors, LG also donated one 65-inch OLED TV (E8) , one 55-inch OLED TV (C8) and one 55-inch UHD TV. To which Mr. Jeremy Barns, the Director of the National Museum of the Philippines, wholeheartedly expressed his gratitude for.
