You Can Now "Inquire to Buy" LG's High-Priced Rollable TV in the US

LG Electronics is finally making its premium-priced Signature OLED TV featuring a gorgeous 65-inch rollable OLED display available for customers in the United States and around the world.

However, this particular television set may easily be completely out of your price range.

LG’s Rollable TV Is Coming to the US

A prototype of the rollable TV was shown off at CES 2018 ahead of its splashy debut at CES 2019. The finished product, featuring a tweaked base station along with an added 100-watt Dolby Atmos speaker, has been scheduled to ship several times already but keeps getting delayed.

So after more than three years, this remarkable TV is finally ready to hit the United States, according to HD Guru. Due to its high price, however, would-be buyers will need to "inquire to buy" one at the company’s OLED R webpage. LG has provided the name and contact information for sales representatives to whom you can reach out to arrange your purchase.

LG's Rollable TV Costs Around $100k

We're not surprised that LG also fails to mention the price. Because you'll need to be prepared to pay an astronomical amount of money in exchange for bragging rights.

The Signature OLED TV R went on sale in LG's home turf of South Korea last October at prices in the $100,000 range. According to HD Guru, only a handful of units have been sold so far in LG's domestic market.

But then again, if you're the kind of person with so much disposable income that you can afford a TV set priced as an average Tesla, then sticker shock shouldn't affect you. Those who cannot afford this beast of a TV have other options available in LG's 2021 lineup. For example, a new $1,299 48-inch OLED TV from LG is set to launch in June.

The Key Specs of LG’s Rollable TV

You'd think such a premium-priced 4K OLED TV came with specs to match, but that's not the case here. Aside from the utterly impressive motorized TV-in-a-box design, the Rollable TV does not impress in terms of image processing by today's s standards. For instance, it has the same second-generation Alpha 9 processing chip as LG’s other 2019 TVs.

You get three viewing options---Full View, Zero View, and Line View---with Line View unrolling the OLED panel to allow apps to display information like the current time, weather, and so forth in this minimal mode. When fully folded in Zero View, the TV can be used to play music or other audio content through an internal multi-channel audio system.

There's also Frame mode that displays a slideshow of photos from your phone. The TV set supports popular virtual assistants like Amazon's Alexa and Google's Assistant. Apple's AirPlay and HomeKit features also work out of the box. With HomeKit, you can control the TV using the Home app on your Apple devices or by asking Siri.
