(LG OLED GX TV)

LAS VEGAS—The new OLED sets in LG's 2020 TV lineup push design and form factor boundaries, including a new "Gallery" design in the GX series of OLED TVs that results in bezel-less TVs that mount nearly flush against a wall.

CES 2020 Bug ArtGX TVs consist of a one-piece TV design with no visible frame. The entire TV is less than an inch thick, with a special, included flush wall mount that can be attached to a wall with no noticeable gap or shadow.

It's an eye-catching design, but it's not entirely new for LG. The company has offered a similar concept in the W, or Wallpaper design OLED TVs. These feature a similar frameless screen that can be mounted on a wall with no gap, but require an attached control box (which doubles as a soundbar) connected to the panel through a wire. The GX line eschews the control box and builds all electronics into the body of the TV while still keeping it very thin.

Of course, users will still have to arrange power and source connections with wires, but it enables much more flexibility while keeping the W design's floating picture aesthetic. For consumers looking for OLED performance in a less expensive and more conventional package, the BX and CX lines will fill the same entry-level OLED space as the B9 and C9 TVs from last year.

LG is also expanding its 8K TV line, doubling the number of screen sizes of the Z-series 8K OLED TV and the number of series of 8K NanoCell LCD TVs. The LG Signature ZX line will be available in a 77-inch version using the Gallery design of the GX series or an 88-inch version similar to the 88-inch Signature OLED 88Z9P we reviewed last year (and called the most advanced television we've ever tested).

For much less expensive LCD alternatives, LG will offer the Nano97 and Nano99 lines of NanoCell LCD TVs. Both series will be available in 65 and 75 inches, with the only significant difference between them being the backlight system; Nano97 uses the standard version of LG's Full Array Dimming backlight, while the Nano99 uses an improved Pro version.

All 2020 8K LG TVs will use the company's new a9 Gen 3 image processor, which supports object-based upconversion and several other new processing features.

LG did not reveal pricing or availability for any of its 2020 TVs, but they will likely start appearing in stores this spring.

My Experience

I’m PCMag’s home theater and AR/VR expert, and your go-to source of information and recommendations for game consoles and accessories, smart displays, smart glasses, smart speakers, soundbars, TVs, and VR headsets. I’m an ISF-certified TV calibrator and THX-certified home theater technician, I've served as a CES Innovation Awards judge, and while Bandai hasn’t officially certified me, I’m also proficient at building Gundam plastic models up to MG-class. I also enjoy genre fiction writing, and my urban fantasy novel, Alex Norton, Paranormal Technical Support, is currently available on Amazon.

The Technology I Use

Where to start? I have a standard IT-issued Lenovo Thinkpad for writing and editing, supplemented with an iPad Air and an 8Bitdo Retro Keyboard when I want to write on the go. I also have a Lenovo Legion Go as a platform for running Portrait Displays’ Calman software and controlling the Klein K-10A colorimeter, Murideo SIX-G signal generator, and Leo Bodnar 4K Video Signal Lag Tester I use for testing TVs. 

For gaming, I use a Nintendo Switch 2, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X, and a GeForce 5080-equipped MSI gaming laptop. I like collecting retro games as well, and have an Analogue Pocket and a ton of classic consoles and portables. Photography is another interest, and I use a Sony A7 IV when I’m shooting products and events, and a Fujifilm X-Pro3 for my own attempts at visual creativity. And for reading and writing, I’ve become partial to the Kobo Sage for books and the ReMarkable 2 with Type Folio.

When it comes to phones and tablets, I’m pretty platform-agnostic. I use a Google Pixel 8 for my phone and an iPad Air for a tablet. Android, iOS, and iPadOS are all totally fine, but I need a Windows PC. MacOS just isn’t for me.
