LG's 2022 OLED TVs Now Available, Starting at $1,400 for 42-inch Size

LG's 2022 OLED TVs Now Available, Starting at $1,400 for 42-inch Size

For the last few years my favorite high-end TV has been an LG OLED model, but for 2022 there's more competition than ever. LG's archrival Samsung has an OLED TV too, promising better color thanks to QD-OLED technology. Sony offers two different kinds of OLED, including a QD-OLED of its own that looks pretty sweet in person. And more and more TV makers are offering mini-LED models, which promise excellent image quality for much less money than OLED.

Meanwhile LG has started rolling out the widest array of OLED TVs yet, with five series offering sizes from 42 to 97 inches and prices from $1,400 to $25,000. First announced at CES 2022 in January, these TVs are hitting stores and online now. I haven't had the chance to review any of them yet, but based on my past experience and what I've seen so far, I expect LG's 2022 OLED TVs to continue to be among the best TVs on the market.

The improvement I'm most intrigued to test is improved brightness on the "Evo" models in the C2 and G2 series -- LG is claiming peak brightness of 20 percent and 30 percent higher than its non-Evo TVs. That punchier picture is due to new "brightness boost" (on the C2) and "brightness boost max" (on the G2) processing as well as a new heat dissipation technology, which is only available on the G2.

Here's a look at prices in the C2 and G2 series, along with a reminder that they will undoubtedly fall quite a bit as the year progresses. 

LG G2 and C2 2022 OLED TV pricing

Series	Model	Size	Price	Availability	Gallery Design	Evo Brightness Booster
G2	OLED97G2PUA	97	TBD	TBD	Yes	Yes (Max)
G2	OLED83G2PUA	83	$6,500	April	Yes	Yes (Max)
G2	OLED77G2PUA	77	$4,000	March	Yes	Yes (Max)
G2	OLED65G2PUA	65	$3,000	March	Yes	Yes (Max)
G2	OLED55G2PUA	55	$2,200	April	Yes	Yes (Max)
C2	OLED83C2PUA	83	$5,500	March	No	Yes
C2	OLED77C2PUA	77	$3,500	March	No	Yes
C2	OLED65C2PUA	65	$2,500	March	No	Yes
C2	OLED55C2PUA	55	$1,800	March	No	Yes
C2	OLED48C2PUA	48	$1,500	March	No	No
C2	OLED42C2PUA	42	$1,400	May	No	No

How they compare to QD-OLED models, and other high-end TVs, remains to be seen, but it's interesting to me that Samsung's QD-OLED costs the same as the best (on paper) LG, the G2 series: $3,000 at 65 inches and $2,200 at 55 inches. Sony has yet to announce pricing on its QD-OLED TVs, but I expect it to be a couple hundred dollars higher.

Meanwhile the LG C2 costs significantly less -- $2,500 at 65 and $1,800 at 55 inches -- and on paper the only picture quality difference between it and the G2 is 10% less brightness, something I doubt most viewers will be able to appreciate. It's worth noting that the smaller 42- and 48-inch members of the C2 series lack the higher brightness.

The C2 will get an Evo panel in 2022, but LG says it won't be quite as bright as the G2.

In the meantime, here are the other changes to LG's 2022 lineup.

Gen 5 Alpha 9 processor: LG says upscaling has been improved to eliminate extra steps between less-than-4K and 4K resolution, and that dynamic tone mapping had 10 times the number of sampling blocks. I expect improvements to be minor, at best, but we'll see.

42-inch and 97-inch sizes: OLED TVs are still available in fewer screen size options than LCD/QLED models, but that gap will narrow further in 2022. The C2 series will get a smaller 42-inch size (shipping in May), while the G2 will add a positively enormous 97-inch version, the price and availability of which have yet to be announced.

The 97-inch G2 is the largest OLED TV yet.

Richard Peterson/CNET

8K Z2 and entry-level B2, A2 models: We expect to concentrate our reviews on the C2 and G2 in 2022, but LG has three other new series on offer as well. The Z2 is the 8K resolution series, with the 88-inch size now wall-mountable and the 77-inch size getting a "gallery" design similar to the G2. The more-affordable B2 and A2 get lesser processors (Gen 5 Alpha 7) -- the B2 has a 120Hz refresh rate while the A2 is LG's sole 60Hz OLED for 2022. The A2 also lacks the HDMI 2.1 features, including 4K/120Hz input capability, found on the other 2022 LG OLEDs.

LG Z2, B2 and A2 2022 OLED TVs compared

Series	Model	Size	Price	Availability	Resolution	Processor	Refresh rate	HDMI version
Z2	OLED88Z2PUA	88	$25,000	April	8K	A9 Gen 5	120Hz	2.1
Z2	OLED77Z2PUA	77	$13,000	April	8K	A9 Gen 5	120Hz	2.1
B2	OLED77B2PUA	77	$3,300	March	4K	A7 Gen 5	120Hz	2.1
B2	OLED65B2PUA	65	$2,000	March	4K	A7 Gen 5	120Hz	2.1
B2	OLED55B2PUA	55	$1,500	March	4K	A7 Gen 5	120Hz	2.1
A2	OLED65A2PUA	65	TBD	TBD	4K	A7 Gen 5	60Hz	2.0
A2	OLED55A2PUA	55	TBD	TBD	4K	A7 Gen 5	60Hz	2.0

Design changes: The G2 retains the ultrathin "gallery" design from last year, allowing it to hug the wall more closely than the C2. Bezel size around the picture for both series has been narrowed, to 10.2mm on the G and 6mm on the C, for an even more dramatic "all-picture" look. There's also a new carbon-fiber material that contributes to significantly less weight: the G is 20% lighter and the C up to 47% lighter.

Gaming extras: The C1 was my favorite TV for gaming thanks to its best-in-class input features, including VRR and 4K/120Hz capability on every input on the C and G models, and improvements in 2022 are minor. The excellent Game Optimizer mode gains a new "sports" preset to join RPG, FPS and the rest, there's a new dark room mode that reduces brightness and adds blue light reduction to combat eye fatigue and the dashboard shows more information on the pop-up. 

LG says that premium 2022 OLEDs will also get up to 48Gbps bandwidth on their HDMI inputs, up from 40Gbps in 2021 and 2020 models. Since bandwidth is a poor indicator of real-world video quality I don't consider the improvement a big deal. (Here's a good explanation of why.)

User profiles on WebOS smart TV: All 2022 LG TVs with its WebOS smart TV system will allow you to set up user profiles for different family members or others. These include a Kids profile that surfaces kids-friendly content. Google TV and Amazon Fire TV also offer profiles, but this would be a first in a proprietary smart TV system. 

New for 2022, LG's WebOS smart TV system lets you set up profiles for different users.

David Katzmaier/CNET

Far-field mic for voice commands: Previously available on the G and up models, for 2022 LG is migrating its far-field mic -- which allows you to issue voice commands by saying a wake word like "Alexa" or "Hey, Google," rather than having to use the remote -- down to the C2 series and the G2. Like Samsung TVs, LG lets you use Alexa, Google Assistant and its proprietary voice system.

Room to room sharing: This new feature, coming later this year, lets a compatible 2022 LG TV share its screen, including inputs such as a cable box, wirelessly to another compatible 2022 LG TV. LG says it's designed to allow you to take the second TV elsewhere in the home (or outside) where a cable or other wired connection might not be available. The downside is that it requires two 2022 LG TVs because it won't work on earlier models.

"Always ready" screensaver: LG is taking a page from Samsung's TV ambient mode by displaying a clock, weather or art on the screen when the TV is turned "off."

 We look forward to testing LG's new OLED TVs later this spring.

QD-OLED TV: Samsung, Sony Take on LG With Quantum Dot Special Sauce

QD-OLED TV: Samsung, Sony Take on LG With Quantum Dot Special Sauce

The best TVs you can buy use OLED screens and until now, LG Display has been the sole producer of every OLED television in the world. In 2022 a new kind of OLED TV technology, called QD-OLED, finally goes on sale. The technology debuts in new 55-inch and 65-inch TVs from Samsung and Sony, as well as a new monitor by Alienware. QD-OLED uses quantum dots in combination with organic light-emitting diodes, and it promises even better picture quality than traditional OLED TVs and monitors.

We already reviewed the Alienware monitor and liked it a lot, but we haven't had the chance to see the TVs beyond brief, early demos of prototype products. Samsung's QD-OLED TV, the QS95B, is available now and priced at $2,200 for the 55-inch and $3,000 for the 65-inch model, which is exactly the same as LG's best 2022 OLED TV, the G2 series. Meanwhile Sony is charging more for QD-OLED, $3,000 for the 55-inch and $4,000 for the 65-inch when they go on sale in June.

First things first: We won't know how these QD-OLED TVs really compare against LG OLEDs like the the C2 we recently reviewed, or to other OLED and non-OLED TVs, until we can test them in person. But they sure look promising. 

So what is QD-OLED, and why is it potentially better than traditional OLED and LED LCD? Read on to find out.

Today's TV tech: LCD, OLED and QLED

Right now there are two technologies most TV buyers can actually afford: LCD and OLED. LCD TVs are sometimes called "LED TVs" due to the tiny LEDs they use to create light. The image is created by a liquid crystal layer, just like LCD TVs from 20-plus years ago. Mini-LED TVs operate the same way, just with more LEDs in their backlights, while QLED TVs are basically LED LCD TVs with quantum dots.

The size of the quantum dot determines what color it emits when supplied with energy. Currently that energy is supplied by blue LEDs or blue OLEDs.

Samsung

OLED is a newer technology. Each pixel emits its own light, created by a substance that glows when you give it energy. This substance includes the element carbon, hence the "organic" moniker. Since they're able to turn individual pixels off, to a perfect black, their contrast ratio and overall picture quality are typically better than any LCD.

One of the biggest improvements in LCD TV tech over the last few years is the inclusion of quantum dots. These microscopic spheres glow a specific color when excited by light. In the case of LCD TVs, blue LEDs supply all the blue light plus the energy to get red and green quantum dots to emit red and green light. This is what allows LCD TVs to have such extreme brightness and better color than LCD TVs of old.

You can read more about the differences between these technologies in our comparison of LCD and OLED TV display technologies, but the short version is that LCD-based TVs tend to be brighter, while OLED TVs have better overall picture quality. There's also microLED, but microLED TVs are currently wall-size and absurdly expensive. They're not really competition for LCD, OLED or QD-OLED TVs, and likely won't be for the foreseeable future.

The layers required to make an image with different TV technologies. With LCD, the light and the image are created separately. With WOLED (LG's current tech), the "white" layer is actually blue and yellow. Color filters create red and green. 

With Samsung's new QD-OLED, only blue OLED material is used, with red and green created by quantum dots. (Click to enlarge)

QD + OLED = 💖?

Combining the efficiency and color potential of quantum dots with the contrast ratio of OLED is basically the holy grail of current image quality. LCDs don't have the pixel-level contrast of OLED. Their backlights, even with mini-LED, are just too coarse. OLED TVs, while bright, don't have the extreme brightness potential of LCD.

QD-OLED potentially solves both these issues and could be greater than the sum of its parts. A blue OLED material creates, as with most LED LCDs, all the blue light. A quantum dot layer uses this blue light to then create green and red light. Quantum dots are nearly 100% efficient, so basically no energy is lost converting these colors. The current version of OLED uses color filters to create red, green and blue, essentially blocking a significant amount of the light potential created by the OLED material, so it's potentially less efficient.

The result could be greater brightness and color than with current versions of OLED, while keeping that technology's superlative contrast ratio.

Samsung

What else we know about QD-OLED TVs right now

Aside from the basic technology above, we know a few details about the actual TVs and monitors hitting the market later this year. 

Samsung: QD-OLED panels are built by Samsung Display, a division of that mega conglomerate that manufactures displays. Samsung Electronics, the division that makes the TVs themselves, officially unveiled its TV in March 2020 after a tease at CES 2020. Called the QS95B series, Samsung touts improved brightness and color as well as the typical features of the company's 2022 TVs, such as revamped processing, HDMI 2.1 inputs, an improved smart TV system and a solar remote. The QS95B series is available for preorder now to ship in April.

Sony: Called the A95K series, it will also come in 55- and 65-inch sizes. Sony claims better color and improved viewing angles for this TV but told CNET's David Katzmaier not to expect a significant improvement in peak brightness with whites. It has 4K resolution, HDMI 2.1 inputs and a bunch of other features, like a built-in camera and remote finder. 

Sony's AK95 series is a QD-OLED TV available for preorder in June in 55- and 65-inch sizes.

Sony

Alienware:The third manufacturer with QD-OLED has a curved 34-inch, 3,440x1,440-pixel monitor, model number AW3423DW. In case you're counting, the smallest OLED TV LG makes is 42 inches. CNET's Lori Grunin reviewed the monitor and lauded its performance for gaming as well as its color accuracy.

The Alienware QD-OLED monitor costs $1,300.

What we don't know about QD-OLED

We know the prices of these TVs, so the next biggest unanswered question is how good they will look compared with "vanilla" OLED TVs from LG and Sony. Samsung says that its QD-OLED will be brighter than OLED, with a better contrast than LCD. The latter is easy; all OLEDs have better contrast than all LCDs. How much brighter remains to be seen, literally and figuratively. LG promises its own improvements for 2022 OLEDs and beyond, so it's possible this brightness aspect won't be a huge factor.

Two additional improvements with QD-OLED are possible according to its proponents: off-axis and motion blur. Since QD-OLED lacks color filters, they will potentially look better when seen from the side than OLED, which already looks much better off-axis than LCD. So if you have a really wide sofa, people in the cheap seats won't have a worse picture than those sitting directly in front of the TV. From what Katzmaier saw in his demo of Sony, the off-axis improvement is real but not a huge deal

Motion blur is a bit of a rabbit hole, but due to how the current generation of OLED works, they still have motion blur. Samsung Display claims QD-OLED will have significantly less motion blur than LCD, though the company didn't say if it's better than LG's OLED. An ultrafast response time, plus extra brightness so you can use black frame insertion and still have a bright image, means it should be at least as good as regular OLED.

Then there's the question of color volume, which is something you're going to hear more and more about in the coming years. Basically, it's how much color there is in extremely bright parts of the image. One drawback of LG's OLED method is that to get the brightness desired by consumers, it uses an additional subpixel, white, in addition to red, green and blue (see image with LCD, WOLED and QD-OLED above). This technically has the effect of "washing out" extremely bright parts of the image. 

From what we've seen so far, QD-OLED could deliver improved color. The caveat is that we haven't actually had the chance to compare it with shipping products (as opposed to prototypes) using real-world video. With most real-world HDR TV shows and movies there really isn't that much color information in bright parts of the image. That's partly to do with the inability of most displays to do anything with it. But even if Hollywood were to color-grade more shows and movies with more bright-color data, we're still just talking about things like more yellow in the sun, more blue tint to headlights, and so on. It remains to be see how much different QD-OLED will look with those colors.

The future is now(ish)

In the end, how much better QD-OLED is than regular OLED doesn't actually matter. It's already the most important thing it could be: more OLED. Another company making OLED displays is by far the healthiest thing that could happen to the TV industry and for consumers. Pushing picture quality up and prices down has never been a bad thing.

For that matter, as someone who has always hated LCD, I think a future without that tired, Band-Aid-ed TV technology is a welcome one. But that might just be me.

We expect to get our hands on the first generation of QD-OLED displays later this year. Stay tuned.

Facebook's global head of safety hasn't fully read UK's Online Safety Bill

Facebook's global head of safety hasn't fully read UK's Online Safety Bill

Tech executives and lawmakers around the world all seem to agree -- social media regulation is necessary and it is coming. One of the first pieces of legislation to come into play will likely be the UK's Online Safety Bill, the draft text of which is being examined by a parliamentary committee.

That bill will help set the tone for safety regulation around the world, as other countries also seek to ensure citizens are protected from harmful content, and the draft legislation has been available since May. It might be reasonable, then, to assume that key executives from social media companies -- such as Facebook, which has been facing intense criticism about the risks it poses -- would have scrutinized it in detail by now. That's not necessarily the case, apparently.

On Thursday, Parliament's Draft Online Safety Bill committee took evidence from Facebook's head of safety, Antigone Davis. Asked whether she would be the person in charge of submitting company risk assessments to the UK regulator, Davis responded: "I don't know the details of the bill."

Members of Parliament expressed their concern that Davis was attending the session without having read the draft bill she was providing evidence for. "I just have to say I'm deeply, deeply shocked that you aren't on top of the brief about what this bill is all about and what it means not just to us, but to the whole of the world as well," said MP Suzanne Webb.

"I actually am familiar with the bill," responded Davis.

When asked to clarify whether or not she had read the bill, Davis replied: "I'm familiar with parts of the bill," implying that she had not read the bill in full. 

The 145-page Online Safety Bill, previously known as the Online Harms Bill, would place UK media watchdog Ofcom in charge of regulating tech companies in Britain. Ofcom would have the power to fine tech companies £18 million ($25.3 million) or 10% of their annual revenue, whichever is higher, if they fail to remove harmful or illegal content, as well as to block sites and services. Senior managers at tech companies could even face criminal charges if those companies consistently fall short of their obligations.  

Chris Yiu, Facebook's director of public policy for Northern Europe, who was also present at the hearing, said he had read the bill, including the explanatory notes.

Facebook didn't immediately respond to a request for additional comment.

Following years of criticism that it doesn't do enough to protect people's privacy or to eliminate hate speech and misinformation, Facebook has been hit with renewed allegations that it puts profits over user safety. Internal documents leaked by whistleblower Frances Haugen led to a flurry of stories in recent weeks from The Wall Street Journal and a consortium of US and international news outlets about the company's policies, practices and decision-making.  

Last week, another Facebook whistleblower, Sophie Zhang, giving evidence to the same parliamentary committee, said she had read the bill in full. 

"It seems like basic politeness to me that if I'm asked to testify regarding an upcoming bill, I should actually read the bill in question," said Zhang on Twitter on Thursday.

Meta Is Pulling the Plug on Facebook Live Shopping

Meta Is Pulling the Plug on Facebook Live Shopping

After less than two years, Facebook is shuttering its live shopping feature, parent company Meta announced in a blog post Wednesday.

As of Oct. 1, users will no longer be able to host any new or scheduled Facebook Live Shopping events. Facebook Live will continue, the company said, but you won't be able to create product playlists or tag products in your Facebook Live videos.

"As consumers' viewing behaviors are shifting to short-form video, we are shifting our focus to Reels on Facebook and Instagram," the post said, suggesting users try tagging products in Reels on Instagram as a possible substitute.

After some trial runs and beta testing, Facebook made livestream shopping widely available in November 2020. Live Shopping Fridays was added the following May, offering demos, tutorials and other videos from retailers like Abercrombie & Fitch, Bobbi Brown Cosmetics and Clinique.

Previously filmed shopping segments can still be preserved, according to Meta, by downloading them onto your profile page or in Creator Studio.

The announcement comes just weeks after TikTok reportedly dropped plans to expand its own live e-commerce initiative, TikTok Shop, to the US and mainland Europe.
