Although LG garnered a lot of attention at the recent CES 2017 for its new 4K Ultra HD LED LCD TVs using Nano Cell technology, lost in the marketing buzz was the fact that the majority of LG Electronics’ lower-cost 2017 4K Ultra HD LED LCD TVs now use the company’s controversial RGBW technology that arrived to much debate two years ago.
Tim Alessi, LG Electronics home entertainment marketing director, told HD Guru prior to the show that RGBW panels will be used this year in all but two series of 4K Ultra HD LED LCD TVs, encompassing 14 core-line models.
“That’s everything except for the SJ8500 and SJ9500 series,” Alessi said.
LG has yet to announce model pricing for the 2017 TV lines, so we can’t point out specific price savings the use of RGBW will bring this year, though its use last year resulted in more affordable entry to mid-range 4K UHD price points in LG’s assortment. The 2017 4K Ultra HD LED LCD TV series using RGBW panels include: the UJ6300, UJ6500, UJ7700 and SJ8000. The SJ8000 is part of LG’s premium Super UHD LED LCD assortment offering its advanced new Nano Cell LED LCD technology.
