LAS VEGAS -- LG used its presentation at the 2015 International CES highlight its focus on the Internet of Things and the company's pursuit of a functioning interoperable ecosystem that can combine its WebOS 2.0 TVs with a new \"wellness platform,\" home automation and even smartcars. <\/p>\n
Compared with its earlier WebOS platform, the WebOS 2.0 platform has a simpler user interface, is faster and supports 4K streaming. The WebOS platform has expanded to signage and hotel TVs. <\/p>\n
The Korean electronics giant also reiterated its love for both 4K and OLED, with a commitment that its whole range of 2015 OLED TVs will have 4K Ultra HD resolution. Of its full TV range, including LCDs, 60 percent will have 4K. <\/p>\n
While the curved screen appears here to stay, LG will also release a number of flat screen OLED TVs. They consist of the 55-inch 55EF9500 and 65-inch 65EF9500, as well as a step-up 65-inch model, the 65EF9800. The company's other OLED size, 77 inches, will not be available in a flat version. Pricing and availability were not announced. <\/p>\n
The main new curved models are the EG9800 series, which comes in a 55-inch and 65-inch size. <\/p>\n

If you're not sure whether you like curved or fixed screens for your OLED, LG also said it would launch a 77-inch version of its previously concept-only flexible OLED TV. This model, the 77EG9900, allows for the viewer to adjust the display from curved to flat at the touch of button. This allows for a curved screen when you're viewing at home from the sweet spot, or a flat screen with a better viewing angel when there are a few people on the couch. <\/p>\n
LG talked about its ColorPrime technology, which it hopes will breathe a last lease of life into its LCD TV range as OLED slowly takes over. The UF9500 is the flagship series that sports the ColorPrime tech and is available in 55-, 65- and 79-inch sizes. <\/p>\n
