LG's Signature OLED M Series removes all AV wires between the TV and devices like set-top boxes and game consoles, by betting big on wireless. Will it pay off?
Check out our complete coverage of CES 2023 live from Las Vegas Wall-mounting a TV is no picnic, especially when that TV measures 97 diagonal inches. But LG’s new Signature OLED M Series TV could make that task much easier. The giant, 4K OLED TV uses LG’s Zero Connect wireless technology to effectively eliminate the need for any AV cabling from AV receivers, set-top boxes, soundbars, or game consoles to the TV. As long as the OLED M3 has power, it doesn’t need any other wires.
As such, any AV device you want to use with the M3, from gaming consoles to streaming media players, plugs into the Zero Connect box, which then relays the audio and video signals wirelessly to the M3. LG says you’ll be able to send up to 4K video at 120Hz, a critical spec for those who plan to use the M3 for gaming.
Many companies in the AV tech space have been playing with ways to send audio and video wirelessly to TVs, and there’s no shortage of ways to do this with a normal TV, but this is the first time we’ve seen a TV manufacturer put all of its connection eggs in the wireless basket.
Still, there’s only so much an algorithm can do, and LG seems to acknowledge that M3 buyers may need to do some tweaking to get the system to perform the way it should: the box’s antenna can be rotated and/or tilted to better align with the TV’s location. In the provided photos, the Zero Connect box looks like it has a very clear — and very short — line of sight to the M3, which suggests that buyers will have to be very careful when choosing a location for the box.
