Early adopters will have something to crow about in the new year. LG has just announced its 2013 television lineup, which will be headlined by a massive, 84-inch 4K and 55-inch OLED sets.
In all, LG is rolling out 19 models for the new year—a trio of 42-, 50, and 60-inch plasmas, 15 22- to 60-inch class LED sets, plus the super-sized 4k. LG’s mid and upper range Smart TV offerings will all feature Magic Remote compatibility—what with its motion, scroll, and voice search options. In addition, the GA6400 and GA7900 models will also be outfitted with Google TV and QWERTY remotes for faster searches and more intuitive web browsing (if you’re one of the half dozen people that actually uses TVs for that sort of thing). On the hardware side, LG has reportedly upgraded both the CPU and GPU chipsets in its Smart TVs to deliver 120 and 300 percent performance improvements, respectively.
We have yet to hear any rumblings on pricing for the any of the new models, or firm shipping dates for that matter, but will update this post as soon as we do.

I was looking into getting a new 42-inch TV some time soon. It was, of course, going to be a Samsung or an LG. If I wait for one of these, I wonder how many months I shall go hungry or how many loans to pay off loans I shall have to get to afford one.
Of course it was…..why?
No organs that you can sell?
So what to we have to watch in 4K at the moment, and what else is expected to come along soon?
Not much apart from some youtube vids. What I look forward to seeing is the latest games played on these screens through a PC, the higher resolution especially on the smaller models should make for incredible visuals.
Quite a few AV amps now offer upscaling to 4K from only about £250.
All movies are in 4k and have ben for a few years now.
Can you buy them in 4K though? I was under the impression that Blu Rays were generally 1080p at the moment.
Err buy no. But if you have a friend who works at the British Board of Film Classification or any other classification organization then your set.
They probably only use 4K in cinema’s to give that breathtaking experience and high quality viewing on a huge scale, I don’t we will benefit from 4k on our TV’s – not unless we have some uber oversized telly.
Does this mean 4K is the new year’s resolution?
I’ll get my coat.
