Yes, there’s a lot about LG’s new G1 OLED range that’s new and exciting and intriguing. Yes, LG has made changes to the OLED panel itself, to the operating system you use to interact with it, to the processing protocols that govern picture quality, and even to the remote control. Yet one question still needs answering: Where does LG get the nerve to charge three grand for a television that doesn’t have any feet?
As part of LG’s Gallery series, the OLED65G1 is designed to be hung on the wall. To make this enticing, there’s none of the bulk where the electronics normally go and a consistent depth of just 19.9mm. The wall-bracket doesn’t add any depth either, so it’s completely flush (which is, incidentally, what you’ll need to be to afford it).
