But at , LG is closing the size gap and hoping to broaden OLED’s appeal: The massive 97-inch and relatively diminutive 42-inch versions represent the largest and smallest OLED TVs yet (unless you count early examples like the or the ).

Besting the previous OLED size champion, an with that’s been on sale since 2019, the 97-inch OLED is a sight to behold. I checked it out at LG’s pre-CES showcase in New Jersey and came away convinced as ever that — and based on my quick observations, it’s perfectly detailed even though it has .
