LG Unveils AI-Powered Smart TVs with Goo.gle Assistant.
LG has been a top player in the TV world for sometime, due largely to the company’s industry-leading OLED displays. In just the last year, LG’s E7 OLED earned our top pick for 4K TVs while our 2017 Innovation Award went to ultra-slim LG Wallpaper W7 TV. In 2018, the company looks set to double down on these successes with improvements to both display technology and smart functions in models ranging from entry-level to top of the line.

In addition to an eye-popping 88-inch 8K OLED, the company announced updates to all of its in-home TV model lines, highlighted by the addition of AI to the lineup.
LG’s smart TVs are getting smarter with the introduction of ThinQ artificial intelligence, the company’s proprietary technology for voice control, image processing, and more. The voice control capabilities will also integrate with other smart home devices, like robot vacuums, smart lights, and more.
The new technology will be powered by LG’s α9 processor, a quad-core processor that handles both voice controls and media processing. The new chip will also translate into better picture quality, as the processor provides improved noise-reduction, advanced color mapping, and support for new standards like High Frame Rate (HFR) content, Hybrid Log Gamma (HLG) and new HDR standards.
