As part of its 30th anniversary celebrations, LG unveiled the 77″ OLED Wallpaper TV (W8) amidst the National Museum of Natural History’s soaring columns and glass-and-aluminum structures.
Offering an unmatched home entertainment experience all in a sleek, paper-slim panel, the W8 was designed to elevate any room or viewing environment. At 2.57mm thin and 77 inches wide, it looks more like a window on the wall than an actual TV.
The creativity and dexterity that have gone into perfecting the W8’s exteriors also extends to the technology within the unit. This wallpaper TV addresses all the major aspects of picture quality, including clarity, brightness and sharpness.
In addition, the W8’s deep black levels and bold contrast provide a consistent experience regardless of a room’s lighting or the spectator’s viewing angle. Equipped with LG’s new 39 processor, the OLED W8 allows users to see every hidden detail as it was meant to be seen, with no noise or distortion.
The W8 also features its AI function through its new ThinQ platform, which offers an impressive number of unique voice commands.
Can you imagine having this true-to-life picture quality and near-cinematic experience in your own home? LG OLED ambassador James Deakin presented a video blog at the launch, where he discusses how the OLED has improved his family’s TV-viewing experience by leaps and bounds.
“Once you’ve watched something on the OLED, it’s really hard to go back to anything else,” he enthuses. “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 is so much better. There’s no going back.”
LG Philippines also showed their strong support for the National Museum, and especially the new National Museum of Natural History, in line with the company’s commitment to the continuous education and cultivation of the country’s history and the arts, through a specially commissioned and produced video on Philippine marine biodiversity as well as the the donation of new model TVs.
To show off the stunning features of the W8, LG previewed a video it has commissioned for the museum as part of its CSR commitment to education. Shot on 4K by underwater photographer and videographer Noel Guevara, the video features the exceptional diversity of the color-washed marine life and coral reefs at Balicasag Island in Bohol. The W8 became Guevara’s canvas for revealing the tiniest details of Bohol’s underwater world – from the marks on the face of a turtle to the sliver-like antennae of a reef shrimp – with incredible reality.
“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.” – Mr. Jongnam An, Vice President – Home Entertainment at LG Philippines
The event also featured columnist/ TV host Ms. Stephanie Zubiri-Crespi as host for the short program which was attended by many members from the media as well as from the blogging/vlogging community in what was generally regarded as an initiative to marry the high art of nature and culture with that of high technology and design.
