f LG EM9600 55” OLED TV:
Alleged as the world’s largest OLED TV Its competitors feature red, green and blue pixels but the LG’s EM9600 has the distinct edge with its fourth white pixel, creating an enticingly brighter picture. The TV’s inclusion of a passive 3D mode is an impressive, yet slightly unsurprising feature given the rise of 3D TV. Not only does the EM9600 include high class characteristics such as a built in microphone, it is also incredibly aesthetically pleasing. LG’s 55” OLED TV is exceptionally streamlined at approx. 4mm thick, making it a tantalising purchase for the consumer with an eye for imperial technical quality and impeccable design.
