The 2024 LG OLED M4 sports an even better processor and faster refresh rates — all whereas doing so wirelessly. LG
With its new QNED televisions and accompanying fluctuate of new soundbars having already made their pre-CES appearances, LG now turns to the colossal guns — its 2024 OLED TV lineup. Veritably, accurate take what made its 2023 objects so colossal and add some more superlatives: Higher (or smaller, in actuality, nonetheless we’ll get dangle of to that.) Brighter. Faster. More extremely effective.
And tranquil wi-fi.
Let’s open with the extremely effective bit. The LG Signature OLED M4 and OLED G4 now sport α 11 (that’s pronounced “alpha eleven”) processors, which LG says will consequence in a 70% increase in graphics efficiency, and up to 30% faster processing speeds. LG additionally is asking it the “α 11 AI” processor because AI would possibly possibly per chance presumably additionally impartial tranquil be included in all of the issues this level to day. As successfully as to making your the OLED TV cease one thing better than accurate be a colossal, sad rectangle for your residing room, all that processing is used to try to invent the image better. That’s now not price ignoring on this age of overly compressed streaming video, seriously when it comes to live, linear TV.
And it does all that pixel by pixel, LG says. Now not accurate by having a discover at the totality of the image, or per chance a restricted amount of zones on the visual display unit, nonetheless every single dot, “the use of real pixel-diploma picture analysis to successfully sharpen objects and backgrounds that can appear blurry.” And who wouldn’t need that?
Things get dangle of rather squishy from there. We’ll accurate let LG snort issues in its have phrases. (And you’ll understand why after you read them.) “All driven by the discerning judgment of the AI itself, handing over a more sure and engaging viewing expertise. Moreover, the ingenious AI processor adeptly refines colors by analyzing in most cases used shades that ideal raise the mood and emotional parts supposed by filmmakers and reveal material creators.”
OK, then. So the true-time processing is going to invent you’re feeling all of the issues, it looks that — so critical in inform that LG says it’ll invent issues place a question to more three-d thanks to “Dynamic Tone Mapping Pro.”

What about the TVs themselves? The M4 now ranges from 65 inches all of the draw to 97 inches on the diagonal. And while you really liked the root of a wi-fi TV — with the Zero Connect Field doing the heavy lifting and then beaming the image records onto the panel — it’s help again for the upcoming sequence, and capable of doing 4K resolution at up to 144 Hz refresh rates. The 2023 M3, as you’ll recall, lacked a 65-scuttle model (as a change starting up at 77 inches, with 83 inches within the heart), and its refresh rate topped out at 120 Hz. That increased refresh rate extends to all 2024 TVs within the M4, G4, and C4 lineups up to 83 inches.
There’s no word on pricing for the new objects accurate but — which is the norm for this kind of pre-CES announcement. But the 2023 77-scuttle M3 is tranquil listed at $5,000, with the 97-incher at a whopping $30,000.
“Bolstered by a class-leading OLED TV and courageous QNED lineup, LG continues to utter its dominance within the top class TV market with the promise of the appropriate conceivable customer expertise through a authorized replacement of reveal material and companies and products on hand on the firm’s webOS aesthetic TV platform,” Park Hyoung-sei, president of the LG’s Dwelling Entertainment Company, acknowledged in a press release.
Wireless audio isn’t omitted of the story, both (neither is it immune from the AI branding). That contains “AI Sound Pro” for “richer and fuller audio,” the M4 sports virtual 11.1.2 sound inbuilt, with “AI expertise” used to lend a hand steal vocals above the din. And while you decide for one of LG’s soundbars, it is possible you’ll per chance per chance presumably presumably additionally cease all that audio wirelessly, thanks to WOWCAST, which additionally uses the TV’s audio system within the combination.
And LG’s webOS working gadget will get one more refresh, too. You would possibly possibly per chance presumably presumably additionally have up to 10 profiles on board, so everybody can have the image accurate the draw they love it (so long because the AI approves, per chance). And the new objects would possibly possibly per chance hear to the sound of your say to notice the ideal profile. That’ll be fun to try. And as turned into once previously announced, the new TVs will win updates for the subsequent 5 year (and that extends help to the 2022 objects, too).
All in all, some very though-provoking, very now not cheap stuff is on the draw. And we’ll get dangle of our first place a question to at it at CES 2024 in Las Vegas next week.
