LG OLED55A16LA 55 inch 4K UHD HDR Smart OLED TV (2021 Model) with α7 Gen4 AI processor, SELF-LIT OLED, Dolby Vision IQ and Dolby Atmos, built-in Google Assistant and Alexa

Product Information

As the cheapest member of the OLED family, the BX will use the slightly less powerful a7 Gen 3 Processor instead of the a9, which means it doesn’t benefit from AI upscaling, a pretty essential feature if you’re thinking about buying at a larger size. Converted to Test Bench 1.10. With this update we've revamped our Gradient testing, added a new test for Low Quality Content Smoothing, and expanded our Audio Passthrough testing. Dolby Vision content gets a nice brightness boost from the Cinema Home preset, though, and this is brilliant for daytime HDR viewing – it uses Dolby Vision IQ to dynamically adjust the overall picture brightness to suit the lighting conditions.

Nano Cell uses an LED-LCD screen with quantum dot-like technology to enhance color saturation, reach higher peak brightness and offer wider viewing angles than traditional LED-LCD.

Delivery information: If you buy a soundbar or DVD/Blu-ray player along with this TV, please note that they'll be delivered separately. It has pretty much everything you’d expect from a top-flight TV in 2020. You get LG’s superb WebOS front end which supplies silky smooth access to all the major streaming services, including Netflix, Now TV, Prime Video, Disney+, BBC iPlayer, Rakuten, Youtube and more. There’s also support for hands-free voice control, and you can request Alexa or Google Assistant’s help, too, if that suits.

We uploaded the initial brightness measurements and uniformity photos for the Accelerated Longevity Test.

LG Nano90 4K NanoCell (55, 65, 75, 86-inch): We’re no longer in Mini LED / QNED territory, with these 2021 iterations on last year’s NanoCell LCD TVs. The Nano90 is a 4K set featuring Nano Color, a 120Hz panel, It’s compatible with the Gallery Stand, too. LG QNED95 8K TV (65, 75-inch): The QNED95 cleaves close to the QNED99, as a Mini LED 8K TV, but makes do with a 60Hz panel rather than 120Hz. It uses an 8K iteration of the a9 Gen 4 AI Processor too.

The LG Nano90 is one step up from the LG Nano85 and the big change is that it uses a full-array panel for better contrast and comes in a larger, 86-inch screen size. Otherwise it has all the same specs and features as the LG Nano85.

Measuring the inches on your OLED television is done by measuring the diagonal distance between for example the upper left corner and the lower right corner of the screen (not the edge). One inch equals 2,54 centimeter, so when you measure 99 centimeter, this means your OLED television is 39 inches. A Smart TV is a platform that can run 3rd party Apps. 3rd party content providers may remove Apps from the Smart TV platform or stop supporting them at any time, and we cannot guarantee an App's availability. When new Smart TV products are launched, there may also be a delay before certain Apps become available. Availability of Apps is not included within the terms of the manufacturer's warranty, or the John Lewis 2-year Guarantee for audio visual products, or the 5-year Guarantee for TVs. La calidad de imagen de este televisor de 55″ pulgadas es buena. Tiene un panel OLED con resolución 4K que supera por mucho a otros rivales de marcas como Samsung o Sony con paneles VA. Los negros son muy profundos, con unos contrastes bien conseguidos y una imagen muy natural. Sin embargo, esta es una versión algo más reducida que el OLED C14LB que está considerado como uno de los mejores televisores de 2021. Esto se nota en que su panel es de 60Hz (serie A1) mientras el Serie C1 tiene 120Hz que es una tecnología superior. The LG A1 has mediocre brightness in SDR. It's noticeably less bright than the LG C2 OLED. Like all OLED displays, there's a fair amount of variation in brightness depending on the scene due to the Automatic Brightness Limiter (ABL). If you find this distracting, disabling the Peak Brightness setting results in almost all scenes being displayed at about 230 cd/m². There's almost no variation in peak brightness with that setting, but it's too dim to overcome glare in a bright room. If you want something brighter, then look into the LG A2 OLED.

OK, so the Rollable OLED TV missed its debut in 2019 but LG has said repeatedly that this will be the year that you’ll be able to buy the Rollable OLED with the new Alpha A9 Processor in it. That’s the good news. Why you can trust TechRadar We spend hours testing every product or service we review, so you can be sure you’re buying the best. Find out more about how we test. But even if we step away from the flagship launches, LG’s line-up has given us expanded TV panels boasting 83 inch displays, the new LG B1 OLED, and its newest NanoCell LCD televisions. In a bid to strive for continued improvements, LG has focused both on cost- saving measures, like its a7 processing chip, and the affordability of its B series OLED. The LG A1 is a good cheaper option if you want the impressive picture quality that OLED TVs are known for and don't care about the extra gaming features on the more expensive LG models.This partially depends on personal preference, but as a rule of thumb the optimal viewing distance is about 3x the diagonal screen size of the television. For a television of 60 inch (152cm) the optimal viewing distance would be 180 inch or about 4.5 meter. These measurements are with the full calibration settings, using the 'Expert (Dark space, night)' Picture Mode, Color Depth set to 'Warm 50', and Peak Brightness set to 'High'. HDR support includes HDR 10, HLG and Dolby Vision, so you won’t be missing out on any HDR goodness. Notably, the LG sets also feature support for Dolby Vision IQ which dynamically boosts brightness for HDR content depending on the ambient light – a real boon for daytime watching. Add to that the inclusion of Dolby Vision IQ to enhance images further by intelligently adjusting picture settings based on both the HDR content it’s showing and the ambient light of your surroundings, plus HDR10 and HLG support to boot, and the picture performance ought to be worth every penny of the entry price. El apartado de audio de este televisor no es que sea malo, sino que es el convencional que encontramos en todos los televisores de gama Media (excepto porque este modelo OLED tiene Dolby Atmos que es una mejora de gama alta). En nuestra opinión, para ver películas de acción y escuchar música está falto de graves. 2.0 canales con 20W no está a la altura de la gran calidad 4K que ofrece este modelo. Hay varias alternativas a tener en cuenta, pero todas deben ser 2.1 canales para que los graves sean notorios y merezca la pena la compra.
