00:01 I'm here at LG's main booth at CES 2023,

00:05 but there's really one reason why I'm here

00:07 and it is right behind me.

00:08 It is the LG Signature OLED M.

00:10 Let's go take a closer look.

00:12 (upbeat music)

00:15 We're looking at not one, but multiple models

00:20 of LG's new OLED Signature M wireless TV.

00:24 Yes, it is a wireless TV.

00:26 You will not see any cores in sight.

00:28 That is because picture is transmitted 4K 120 Hertz,

00:32 no cables.

00:34 They have a separate box that's called the Zero Connect Box

00:36 and it uses LG's proprietary technology,

00:39 stream the picture with very low issues with latency,

00:43 should really be a perfect experience.

00:45 We've only gotten to see a glimpse of it

00:47 and from what we can tell, we're very impressed.

00:49 So if you can see right there,

00:52 that is the proprietary Zero Connect Box

00:55 that LG is using to transmit picture to the Signature M.

01:00 Now, as long as this is within a 30 foot range of the TV,

01:04 it'll still work.

01:05 You're not really supposed to put it inside

01:07 like a cabinet or anything,

01:08 but you could put it behind a plant

01:10 or find other creative ways to conceal it.

01:12 And all of your peripherals, your Blu-ray player,

01:15 your gaming console, those can all be hooked up there,

01:18 again, away from the TV.

01:19 So you're having that clean, minimalistic look.

01:22 (upbeat music)

01:25 I'd also like to point out here

01:27 that for the sake of this display that they have,

01:29 which is amazing, obviously it has to be a showstopper

01:32 for CES, it's not really doing justice to the panel.

01:35 The panel is only the silver metallic edge.

01:39 The black part behind it, that's just the contraption

01:41 that's moving it up and down for the sake of the show.

01:43 So it really is crazy thin.

01:46 Why a wireless TV is so exciting

01:51 is when you think about a TV from more of like a design

01:53 or aesthetic perspective, having cables is very unsightly.

01:57 And now we're even seeing people who have the space

01:59 for a nine to seven inch TV.

02:01 Their homes might accommodate putting the TV

02:04 not up against a wall, but actually in the middle of a room

02:07 where you could see the back of the TV,

02:09 like almost like it's part of the decor in your home.

02:11 So if you're getting the cables out of that situation,

02:14 you can really have that elevated aesthetic.

02:16 This is definitely a premium customer type of product

02:19 and you're gonna want that premium look.

02:21 (upbeat music)

02:24 Where would you put a 97 inch TV?

02:32 Okay, so Martha was just checking out

02:45 the wireless OLED Signature M.

02:47 So I think it's safe to say that it's pretty cool.

02:51 The Signature OLED M gives us a lot of reasons

02:54 to be excited for the next steps in TV technology.

02:57 That's why we actually named the TV the best of show.
