- LG Display has unveiled a bendable OLED gaming TV concept ahead of CES 2021.
- The 48-inch screen curves for immersion in games, and flattens for movies.
- It’s not certain if this will become a production model.
Curved TVs are great for games and other content that benefits from an immersive view, but they can be a pain when you’re just trying to catch up on your latest shows. You might not have to compromise in the future, though. LG Display has unveiled a prototype bendable OLED gaming TV that curves on demand.
LG’s 48-inch OLED is bendable to a 1,000R radius when you want that extra dash of immersion for games, but flattens for TV shows and other material where a curve could be distracting. Like other modern OLED screens, this panel is flicker-free, boasts virtually instantaneous response times and supports variable refresh rates up to 120Hz.
Whether or not you see a production version isn’t clear. LG Display has clearly designed the bendable OLED with practical considerations in mind, but it’s not a full-fledged TV product you can buy at this stage. It could be some time before LG or one of its panel customers turns this into a shipping device you can put in your living room. Instead, think of this as a peek at where TVs might go — your future set could change shape based on whatever you’re watching or playing.
