Rollable TV, LG's OLED 8K futuristic television

With the CES2019 (Consumer Electronic Show) kicking off, there have been few techs that are eye-catching, one outstanding futuristic tech for me is LG's Rollable 65" TV. 

Televisions have long been a staple at CES. With LG's Latest cutting edge OLED television 8k (even though there are no 8k content out there yet), however, takes the conventional tv experience and flips it. Or instead, rolls it.

The South Korean electronics manufacturer's new TV, known as the Signature OLED TV R (or model 65R9), is due later this year. It takes LG's already incredible OLED display tech and advances on it. The result being a screen that doesn't just sit and live in your sitting room like every other rectangular box, however one that pops up from its case when you need it and rolls again up while you don't.

Larger displays, Sharper displays, fancier technology are all near guarantees at the annual CES event. And to make sure, there are plenty of bigger and sharper screens this year too. however, most years there are iterations on previous TV designs, not something brand new.

LG's brand new TV features 3 distinctive viewing modes, depending on your mood. The "line view" in part unrolls the television, letting you see simply the clock, images or music controls without taking on all of the space of a traditional tv. A "full view" choice gives you the complete 65-inch display. In "zero view" where the TV screen is absolutely hidden from view, allowing you to play your music from the base of the display which packs the speakers which double as a 4.2 channel front facing Soundbar, and some input and output ports.

As with LG's other 2019 models, the new television packs the manufacturer's brand new processor, Alexa and Google Assistant integration for controlling the television together with your voice, as well as AirPlay 2 and HomeKit guide for streaming off iPhones, iPads and Macs and controlling the television thru Siri's voice commands.

whilst there are probably issues about the durability of a television that rolls up, LG's Tim Alessi told Reviewed.com that it would take between 20 and 30 years to wear down the panel thru rolling-related activities.

LG has refused to state any price for the brand new TV yet but it likely won't come cheap. LG's current 65-inch OLEDs start at a sum of $2600 for its B-series, going all the way up to a starting price of Whooping $7000 for the company's paper-thin W-series, so we should expect this to be a lot higher in value.
