[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Heung-soon] LG Electronics' flagship organic light-emitting diode (OLED) TV has been selected as one of this year's best inventions for the third consecutive year by the American news magazine Time.

LG Electronics announced on the 14th that the LG OLED TV was chosen in the entertainment category among the best inventions, following the LG Signature OLED 8K in 2019 and the LG OLED Gallery TV in 2020.

Time selects innovative products and services annually. This year, it selected 100 innovative products across 26 categories including entertainment, accessibility, artificial intelligence, beauty, medical, and education. Among the 100 items, the LG OLED TV is the only TV product. This is also the first time a TV product has been selected for three consecutive years.

Time praised the LG OLED TV as an "Award-Winning Television," highlighting that unlike conventional liquid crystal display (LCD) TVs that use backlights, each pixel emits its own light, delivering excellent colors and sharp images even in dark scenes, as well as overwhelming contrast ratios.

The media stated, "If you want to experience the best of the best, sit in front of the LG OLED TV for just one hour," describing it as this year's best-selling premium TV with top-level gaming performance optimized for next-generation consoles. It also introduced the TV as frequently used as a reference display for film production and video quality optimization, noting that it won a US Emmy Award earlier this year.

Meanwhile, in addition to the top 100 inventions, Time introduced the next-generation OLED TV, LG OLED Evo, in the "Special Mentions" section, which highlights notable products and services released this year. It was evaluated as a TV with a slim design that adheres closely to the wall with a total thickness of less than 2 cm and an OLED display that requires no backlight, making it like a work of art.

Previously, the LG OLED Evo was selected as the best TV of the year by major overseas media and received the highest scores from consumer media in seven European countries.

Nam Ho-jun, Executive Vice President and Head of LG Electronics HE Research Center, said, "This award is a recognition of our industry-leading top-level technology," adding, "We will continue to provide differentiated value to customers by leading with the further evolved LG OLED TV."
