Television Takes It Up A Notch

Daniel J Sait settles down to view some of the latest in luxury TV developments .
Invision offers several key brands and sets including LG ’ s OLED range , fusing OLED technology with 4K resolution . As well as giving consumers a strong image quality , with RS232 control they can be integrated with any leading control solution and a five-year warranty completes the offering . With sets like the 55in OLED TV , E6 , LG gets to deliver HDR via its preferred partner , OLED , which the company says is the perfect starting point to deliver all the benefits in the main due to its very high contrast levels . OLED of course delivers other benefits such as very thin screens where the screen can be bonded to a transparent pane of glass . Many manufacturers have now woken up to the fact that their TVs , whilst looking great , don ’ t cut the mustard when it comes to sound . LG has called on the expertise of brands like Harman / Kardon to deliver built in sound-bars to some of its range . LG has also been keen to add the Dolby Vision version of HDR to its sets . The maker has also added new features via its webOS platform like built-in Netflix 4K content on the LG Signature OLED TV .
Invision also underlines that it has worked hard to gain exclusive Authorised Distributor status with LG for the CI channel so that it can offer enhanced service , pricing and support .
Invision also points to training initiatives at LG HQ to promote the close relationship between the brands .
Invision also points to the Sony BRAVIA 4K Colour LED Display , FW-85XD8501 .
