LG's beautiful 97-inch OLED TV is about to make you ditch ugly cable

At CES 2023, LG unveiled "the world's first wireless OLED TV." This massive 97-inch TV can wirelessly receive 4K/120Hz video and audio signals from an entire room, freeing it from unsightly HDMI cables.

All of this is done using LG's proprietary Zero Connect technology. It's a separate box with all the HDMI ports you'd expect from a gaming console, cable box, or even a gaming PC. It can be connected wirelessly to a soundbar, giving you the flexibility to set up your entertainment center without having to worry about cable lengths.

An LG representative told our friends at Tom's Guide (opens in new tab) that the Zero Connect box can be placed 30 feet away without compromising signal quality, as long as the box can see through the TV That's right. The box could be tucked away in a closet or something, but still impressive.

The M3 has a voice control feature that can be used to instruct the user to change inputs. As for the latest one, LG states on its site that it is "much lower than 20ms" and "almost imperceptible. While it makes no difference when watching a movie, gamers may notice a slight delay when playing something.

The box has three HDMI 2.1 ports, two USB ports, optical output, and Ethernet, as well as a coaxial connector for cable set-top boxes. It has a rotatable antenna to allow the TV to receive maximum signal strength. The box automatically switches the signal path to combat signal disruptions such as passersby or curious cats.

One of the cooler features is the "one-wall design," a unique wall-mounted system that allows the giant display to be placed so that there is hardly any clearance from the wall. It's like a big fancy painting where you can watch Netflix.

LG told Tom's Guide that the M3 being shown at CES is a pre-production model, so final specs and design may change, but the 4K 120Hz panel will remain the same. No price or release date has been set yet.
