LG Electronics are not saying how much their new wireless M4 OLED TV’s will cost locally, with the Company also failing to reveal how much data they capture from Australians whose TV’s have WebOS Smarts. Unlike a Samsung or Sony TV that have wireless built into the TV, or into a small box that attaches to the back of a TV and is often hidden, the new LG M4’s OLED TVs come with what been described as a “bloody big box” that has to be located somewhere in a room with HMDI devices that take up additional space also having to be attached to the LG wireless box The M4, which is a version of the G4 which also comes with the wireless connection box requires a separate connection to a power outlet. All other cables such as a gaming console have to be connected to the LG wireless connection box that the South Korean Company has dubbed the Zero Connect Box, which is a clear reference to the highly popular Samsung One Connect box, which has a single cable running from the box to the TV that is attached to a simple box attached to the back of the TV.
LG’s experiments with odd ball TV offerings have failed spectacularly in the past. Recently we exclusively revealed that their much hyped $120,000 LG rollable TV had been discontinued. Then there was there failed W-series of ‘wallpaper’ OLED TV.
The LG Wallpaper models were designed to emphasise the thinness of OLED, The screen was just 2.5mm thick, and was designed for wall-mounting only. It attached magnetically to a specia.
