LG's $5,500 Wallpaper TV: Is it worth the price?
28 Apr
Summary
- LG's W6 Wallpaper TV is available for preorder at $5,499.99.
- The 77-inch TV features advanced OLED tech for brightness and color.
- It measures only 9 millimeters thick, thinner than some laptops.
LG has officially opened preorders for its revived W6 Wallpaper TV, though a specific release date remains unannounced. The 77-inch model comes with a significant price tag of $5,499.99, positioning it as a luxury item.
This art TV utilizes LG's advanced OLED technology, featuring Brightness Booster Ultra and Hyper Radiant Color Technology. LG claims these innovations make the W6 nearly four times brighter than typical OLED TVs and exceptionally resistant to reflections, addressing a common OLED weakness in bright rooms.
A standout feature is its ultra-slim design, measuring just 9 millimeters thick, which is even thinner than LG's existing Frame models. This slim profile contributes to its aesthetic appeal as a piece of wall art.
Comparisons with Samsung's The Frame Pro highlight distinct technological differences, with LG's OLED generally considered superior to Samsung's Neo QLED. The W6 also offers a superior gaming experience with a maximum 165Hz refresh rate compared to The Frame Pro's 144Hz.
Even when considering other high-end OLEDs from LG and Samsung, such as the LG C6H and G6 OLEDs or the Samsung S95H, the W6 Wallpaper TV's price aligns with the premium segment. The new LG Micro RGB TVs also debut at similarly high price points, indicating a trend in the premium television market.
