LG teases 2nd-gen 'Alpha 9' processor for 2019 OLED TVs

The 2019 LG OLED TVs will feature an upgraded 2nd-generation Alpha 9 processor, the company teases in a press release. It is not clear what improvements it will offer but LG used the opportunity the highlight HFR β or High Frame Rate β video content in up to 120 frames per second. The 2018 OLED models already support 120fps HFR but it is limited to streaming apps. The big question here is of course if LG will equip its TVs with HDMI 2.1.

LG's 2019 4K OLED TV will have speakers that move, ending the misery of black bars

Okay, so normally when you're watching a movie in 21:9 aspect ratio on a TV, you'll see black bars at the top and bottom. When you switch to a Netflix stream in 16:9, the screen is completely filled. But then if you watch Fawlty Towers on UK Gold or an old movie on Talking Pictures, it'll be in 4:3 and black bars will appear on either side of the image.Well not any more. Not on LG's watch. It's latest patent filing shows a TV with a 21:9 aspect ratio and mechanically sliding speakers. The LG TV, which was discovered by the patent-library-searching newshounds at Let's Go Digital, is supposedly set for unveiling at CES 2019 in Las Vegas.
