PRODUCT SPOTLIGHT
It may be an entry-level option, but the OLED B4 boasts LG's flagship OLED technology for stellar picture quality illuminated with over eight million self-lit pixels plus 100% Color Volume1 and 100% Color Fidelity2.
Powered by our intelligent α8 AI Processor with AI Picture Pro, the OLED B4 identifies the kind of content being watched and automatically selects the ideal settings to fine-tune picture and audio. Plus, your customers can search less, stream more, thanks to LG webOS 24 with top streaming services and Quick Cards—offering a custom set up and instant access to over 300 free LG Channels3.
From the latest blockbusters to sports, viewers can keep pace with the action with a native 120Hz refresh rate for smoother movement. Entertainment extras like Dolby Vision™, Dolby Atmos®4 and FILMMAKER MODE™ bring the big-picture experience into the home. NVIDIA G-Sync, AMD FreeSync Premium, and VRR further improve gaming quality, while four HDMI 2.1 inputs support all the devices your clients need.
As for design, the OLED B4 blends into the background with an almost invisible bezel for a seamless finish. When your customers are done watching, they can display paintings, photos, and other content for a polished and premium look.
Like all our OLEDs, the OLED B4 comes equipped with all the CI features you need for a seamless install like Public Display Mode, HDMI Diagnostics, and IP Control. LG OLED B4 series makes the ultimate package of beauty, brains, and brawn more accessible than ever, so don’t hesitate to recommend this picture-perfect starter OLED TV to custom install clients everywhere.
Catering to customers who want epic entertainment in a smaller package? Don’t sleep on LG’s projectors! Ultra-portable without sacrificing picture quality, the LG CineBeam Q HU710PB packs brilliant 4K resolution on a screen up to 120", along with a minimalist design and innovative 360° rotating handle. At home or on-the-go, users can simply place, point, and play with Auto Screen Adjustment. Plus, they can stream the latest hits on Netflix and beyond with WebOS or cast content from Apple or Android devices5.
The LG CineBeam HU915QB Projector is another fantastic option, offering flexibility in any space with an ultra-short 0.19 throw ratio plus vivid imagery with brighter color6 via our 2nd generation 3-channel laser. Brightness Optimizer, Adaptive Contrast, and 4/9/15 Point Warping ensure the best cinematic experience, regardless of content, ambient lighting, or viewing angle.

EVENTS & ANNOUNCEMENTS
October took us to sunny San Diego for the Azione Fall Meeting, where 144 dealers and 94 venders gathered to explore the latest in smart home entertainment. LG was one of only three vendors invited to speak during the Dealer Only meeting, where we highlighted our Pinnacle Program and its $20K threshold. Our Experience Room put the 65" OLED G4 and C4 on full display alongside the S95TR and SG10TY soundbars—amazing all who stopped by. Our presence drummed up excitement for the OLED T and left many of us eagerly anticipating the Spring Meeting in Indianapolis.
Meanwhile, in Farmington Hills, Michigan, we were happy to support one of our many industry partners, Paulsons Audio Video at the Video Matters event where guests were greeted front and center by our latest 97" LG OLED G4. As we showcased the innovations behind our award-winning TVs, everyone was impressed by the picture quality of the QNED mini LED and compared the difference between the OLED C and G series. Rising to the top was the OLED G4, praised for its stunning picture quality and design. The Gallery Mode feature was especially appreciated for customers who wanted the performance of OLED with an artistic look.
