Information on the new LG Oled TV range is starting to appear on the internet, in the columns of the Korean media.

Oled TV LG G4, Meta Technology 2.0 on the program
Another development on the program is the presence of Meta 2.0 technology on future Oled LG G4 televisions, with a light peak announced at 3,000 nits.

It now remains to be verified whether the roadmap presented by LG Display at CES in Las Vegas 2023, last January, will be respected for 2024. If this is the case, this should only strengthen the race for nits. There is no doubt that supporters of Mini LED technology will react by pushing the envelope even further.
