The TV you can ROLL UP like a poster: LG says its flexible OLED Signature TV will finally go on sale this year - but doesn't say how much it'll cost
7 January 2019
At the Consumers Electronics Show on Monday, the South Korean tech giant took the wraps off the Signature Series OLED TV R, its first-ever OLED television with a screen that can roll itself up and is also voice-activated.
After the prototype was teased in 2018, LG announced today that the rollable TV will finally hit the shelves this year, with a launch date expected sometime in the spring.
LG didn't disclose pricing details about the rollable TV.
Users can choose from three modes - full view, line view and and zero view. In full view, the TV rolls out to show the whole 65-inch 4K display that's designed to show the sharpest colors and details in either the brightest light or darkest rooms.
A row of icons is displayed on the screen, including music, clock, frame, home dashboard and mood, which displays ambient colors to create a 'relaxing atmosphere,' LG said.

'Line View allows the LG Signature OLED TV R to be partially unrolled, allowing for management of specific tasks that do not require the full TV screen,' LG said.
In zero view, the TV screen disappears completely to hide inside a base that's essentially a massive speaker.
'Even in Zero View, users can enjoy music and other audio content which resonate from the 4.2-channel, 100W front-firing Dolby Atmos audio system,' LG explained.
LG said it designed the TV with aesthetics in mind, as consumers no longer want to have a big black box be the focal point of their living room, or are abandoning TVs altogether
'The premium bloodline is clearly evident in the entire unit, from the brushed aluminum casing to the quality wool speaker cover designed by Kvadrat of Denmark.'

Alongside the LG rollable TV, the firm also unveiled several other TV updates.
This includes the firm’s ‘largest OLED TV yet,’ at 88 inches.
Tim Alessi, Senior Director of Home Entertainment Product Marketing showed off LG’s first 8K OLED TV, which boasts pixel dimming control technology to optimize the display – which features more than 33 million ‘self-emittting’ pixels.
It also contains an Alpha 9 processor for AI picture and sound, with two main AI capabilities: content enhancement using deep learning and content optimization using image recognition.
The TV improves upon noise reduction and blur, making for sharper details in the picture, while its AI sound allows for deeper bass and clearer voices.
And, the TV even knows where it sits in the room, an adjusts itself accordingly.
‘The TV automatically reacts to the environment by adjusting to light levels,’ Alessi said.
