The company’s cutting-edge OLED TVs have been recognized at the CES Innovation Award for 11 years in a row, and have kept evolving over time to deliver ever-greater value to consumers.

LG OLED is renowned for its exceptional picture quality, producing vibrant, accurate colors with deep blacks and an infinite contrast ratio for images that are remarkably lifelike.

LG Electronics (LG) is announcing the beginning of its exciting new LG OLED Instore gaming tournament, where players in Lagos, Nigeria, will have the chance to compete in a FIFA tournament in a bid to win the grand prize.

The games run from July to August 2024, and the player who wins on each of the Saturdays will qualify for the final. The final match takes qualifiers to the Challenge Arena in Lekki Brandshop on August 18, 2024.

LG Electronics (LG) unique OLED technology delivers deep blacks, clean whites and vibrant shades of colors says Mr. Choongbae Seok, general manager, Home Entertainment, TV Division, LG Electronics. “With cutting-edge self-illuminating pixels, you can experience a more accurate, pure and brighter picture than ever before”.

LG OLED TVs have extremely low input lag with an incredible 1ms response time. This ensures that every move you input on the controller is displayed instantly on screen, giving you a vital edge over opponents and a better chance of winning.

Frame rates can often change throughout a game. If a TV can’t match these changes, you get image tearing. That’s why LG OLED TVs support VRR and ALLM, and are certified as HDMI 2.1 — reducing motion blur and ghosting to barely discernible levels, with fast motion transitions and seamless gameplay up to 4K 120fps, and at the highest resolution.

LG continue to work with industry-leader NVIDIA to make LG OLED TV the only G-SYNC compatible TV.

LG OLED TVs use the precision and control of individual self-lit pixels to take full advantage of the G-SYNC compatibility, allowing fast response times and smoother gaming, even at high resolution.

Eye Comfort (Safer Viewing)

OLED technology provides a safer and more comfortable viewing experience thanks to its flicker-free technology and certified low blue light levels.

This means less fatigue to your eyes during those boxset marathons, nail-biting championship games and intense gaming sessions.

Flicker-free (More comfortable viewing)

You may have noticed the flashing on a monitor before — that’s flicker. If your eyes are exposed to this for too long, it’s inevitable that you’ll feel tired.

The flicker effect can be both visible and invisible, and even the invisible flicker can put stress on your eyes.

Flicker occurs on LED TVs when they have an operating system that makes backlights blink in order to control brightness, this is compounded by the slow response times of the LED panels. LG OLED TVs don’t have that flicker because they don’t have backlights and the response time of the OLED panel is fast.

Low Blue Light

Blue light comes from many sources and exposure to large amounts of blue light can suppress melatonin and lead to problems such as sleep disturbance.

Children and adolescents with underdeveloped irises are particularly vulnerable to retinal damage.

So, when you watch TV, it’s important which TV you watch. Tests have found that LG OLED displays emit less blue light than LED displays.

Watching LG Electronics OLED relieves eye strain and lets you enjoy TV more comfortably. They’ve been certified by TŰV Rheinland as eye comfort displays that are flicker-free and low-blue light. And verified by UL as no photobiological LED hazard displays that are flicker-free and low-blue light.

This competition is part of LG’s continuous initiative to engage with gamers in Nigeria and demonstrate the innovation behind its premium gaming products.

It was in 2013 that the company first introduced OLED TV to the world, overcoming a variety of technical difficulties and much skepticism from industry experts. When others turned to other technologies, LG saw an opportunity to usher in a new era for the television by investing heavily in this unchartered territory, and the rest is history.

LG OLED has evolved into a mainstay of the premium TV market in just 10 years through its unmatched contrast which enables perfect blacks and true-to-life colors, as well as its unprecedented flexibility and thinness.

During its decade at the top, LG OLED has time and again been recognized as the best. The plaudits started even before the official release of the company’s first OLED TV model, as evidenced by the 11 consecutive years that LG OLED has been honored at the annually-held CES Innovation Award and the numerous accolades it has received from major publications, including several “Best TV of the Year” titles and countless claims of being “the best TV I’ve ever reviewed,” “a true Marvel” and “the king of TVs.”

LG’s OLED TVs account for 60 percent of all OLED TVs sold worldwide, and exceeded 15 million units in terms of cumulative shipments at the end of last year.

After successfully mass producing its (and the world’s) first 55-inch Full HD OLED TV in 2013, LG has continued to push boundaries with its OLED-optimized hardware and software innovations.

Among the company’s many groundbreaking OLED products are the paper-thin Wallpaper TV from 2017, and 2020’s unprecedented Rollable TV, which features a display that can roll down and disappear into the TV’s base.

This year, the company introduced the world’s largest OLED TV – the new 97-inch wireless model – and, back in 2019, it was the first to release an 88-inch 8K OLED TV. Additionally, LG has delivered TV software innovations that have further strengthened the capabilities and user experience offered by LG OLED, including its image- and sound-enhancing α (Alpha) 9 AI Processors, and the usability- and convenience-boosting webOS platform.

The premium TV market leader for the past 10 years, LG has improved public awareness of OLED through continuous and progressive marketing activities centering on the uniqueness of OLED and the development and refinement of its self-lit display technology. LG has been carrying out engaging campaigns focusing on a range of different arenas – from movies and sports to gaming and the world of art – and highlighting elements that are unique to OLED, such as self-emissive pixels, perfect blacks, vivid colors, slim design, and diverse form factors.

Also in 2021, LG’s “Light Up Your World” campaign, which included a TV commercial and four accompanying online videos, highlighted the memorable, emotionally impactful user experience that only LG OLED and its self-lit pixels can provide.

On top of that, the company has been showcasing the incredible image quality of its OLED TVs, and the exciting new possibilities for artistic expression they offer, with the global LG OLED ART project, established in 2021.

LG has also teamed up with diverse lifestyle brands to deliver the unique ways LG OLED TVs better everyday life, like its CES 2023 showcase in collaboration with Moooi which presented a high-end experience highlighting its commitment to addressing consumers’ diverse needs and priorities.

At 2022 London Craft Week, LG and leading lifestyle retailer, The Conran Shop, delivered visual magic to its Chelsea and Marylebone locations through the artistry inspired by LG OLED evo TV.

In recent years, LG has been on a journey to provide next-level lifestyle value through introducing new OLED innovations under the Lifestyle Screen umbrella to offer a diverse user experience catered to segmented user needs.

For example, LG OLED FLEX, a bendable gaming TV, delivers a one-screen-fits-all solution – one that is able to change from flat to curved whenever the user wants. The unique, distinctive TVs from the LG OLED Objet Collection, meanwhile, add beauty and style to any interior.

Never content to rest on its laurels, LG continues to defy convention and break new ground to drive the evolution of OLED and unlock new lifestyle experiences based on customer value.

Among the LG OLED products unveiled at CES 2023 are the 97-inch LG SIGNATURE OLED M, which is the world’s first OLED TV capable of displaying a wirelessly transmitted AV signal at 4K 120Hz that allows users to freely design their living spaces, and the OLED T with its transparent screen that brings users a whole new level of spatial freedom.

In addition, LG continues to provide advanced TV technologies such as the α 9 Gen 6 AI Processor and Brightness Booster Max, both of which improve the image quality and performance of LG OLED evo. And then there is webOS 23, which serves up the most personalized user experience of any webOS version yet.

LG has been working tirelessly for the past decade to realize the immense potential of OLED.

Building on what it has achieved so far, the company will continue to create and innovate over the next decade, exploring more of the near-limitless possibilities presented by its self-lit technology to deliver ever-greater customer value.
