LG and Lucasfilm have joined forces to create a special Star Wars-themed OLED TV that's packed with references to that galaxy far, far away.
How to reset LG TVs from 2024?
The new set, built from LG’s 65-inch OLED evo C2, is so packed with fanservice that even the distribution is a Star Wars throwback. Only 501 of the TVs will be available in the US and Germany, itself a nod to the 501st clone battalion (from The Clone Wars). Though LG’s announcement isn’t entirely clear whether that means 501 sets total or 501 for each region.
Darth Vader graces the packaging, which probably shouldn’t come as much of a surprise, but the new Star Wars OLED also has what appears to be an engraved Imperial insignia on its surface. It also comes with an appropriately branded remote, has an interface designed to resemble a lightsaber, and makes Darth Vader breathing sounds when you turn it on. Oh, and there’s a gallery of Star Wars images preloaded, available for viewing whenever the TV is idle or in gallery mode.
Star Wars-ness aside, it’s an LG OLED evo C2 through and through. It has the same picture and sound quality, along with self-lit pixel technology that LG says produces sharper images and richer colors.
