LG is making waves in the television industry once again with the launch of the M4 OLED TV, a revolutionary display that eliminates cable clutter and reimagines the way we integrate TVs into our living spaces. Following the successful debut of the budget-friendly LG B4 OLED, the M4 takes wireless connectivity to the next level.
Cutting the Cord: Zero Connect Box
The M4 OLED leverages LG's innovative Zero Connect Box to achieve its wireless capabilities. This technology, similar to Samsung's One Connect box, consolidates all input connections into a separate unit, freeing the TV itself from cumbersome wires. This allows for greater flexibility in placement and a cleaner aesthetic in your home entertainment setup.
MLA OLED Panel and Refresh Rates
Building on the foundation of the LG G4 OLED, the M4 boasts an impressive MLA (Micro Lens Array) OLED panel, renowned for its enhanced brightness and contrast. The TV supports a 144Hz refresh rate for fluid motion in fast-paced content like sports and gaming (120Hz for the 97-inch model). This is a significant step forward for wireless TVs, which have traditionally lagged behind wired models in refresh rate capabilities.
Pricing and Availability
The M4 OLED comes in four sizes: 65-inch, 77-inch, 83-inch, and 97-inch. LG has launched the M4 in major markets worldwide starting July 1, 2024. European pricing has been announced, starting at €5,000 for the 65-inch model. While US pricing is yet to be confirmed, it's expected to be in a similar range given the premium nature of this cutting-edge technology.

The Future of Wireless TVs
The M4 OLED is a testament to LG's commitment to innovation in the television industry. While it's not entirely wireless (it still requires a power connection), the Zero Connect Box significantly reduces cable clutter and enhances the overall viewing experience. As technology continues to advance, we can expect even greater strides in wireless TV technology, further blurring the lines between form and function.
Conclusion
