LG are honouring their commitment to new technology with the UK release of their 15” OLED TV. The EL9500 is currently being previewed at the Gadget Show Live this week giving tech fans the opportunity to be the first to view it in the UK.

OLED ensures a superior picture quality from any angle with a contrast ratio of 10,000,000:1 whilst simultaneously using less energy when compared with a regular LED TV. Instead of the traditional LED backlight OLED is self illuminating, allowing for a much thinner design resulting in a stunning looking ultra thin design. This absence of a backlight also results in much deeper blacks against stronger colours as well as a response time of 0.1msec making it ideal for viewing fast action films and sports. Not to mention it is also water resistant making it ideal for use in the bathroom or kitchen without fear of water damage.

Having attended the press day of the Gadget Show Live on Wednesday I have to say how impressed I was with the OLED. A lot is made about the thinness of OLED technology, offering a second to none super slim design. But what really impressed me was the picture quality. The vibrancy of the colours was better than literally any other TV or monitor I had seen before. This is undoubtedly a serious piece of tech and definitely worth your time having a look at if you’re attending the Gadget Show Live this weekend.

The LG EL9500 OLED will be the largest OLED screen on the market when it is released later this April.
