A: OLED is an acronym for Organic Light Emitting Diodes. It is an emissive technology like Plasma TVs where the electromissive electroluminescent layer is a film of organic compound which emits light in response to an electric current. OLED displays do not need a backlight like LCDs or LED LCDs do so they can display deep black levels, can be thinner and lighter than a liquid crystal display (LCD). In low ambient light conditions (such as a dark room), OLED screens can achieve a higher contrast ratio than either LCDs or LED LCDs...^IFV
A: On 06/24/2014, The Consumer Electronics Association (CEA)®, of which LG is a member, announced updated core characteristics for Ultra High-Definition (UHD) TVs, monitors and projectors for the home. The expanded display characteristics as defined under CEA’s Ultra High-Definition Display Characteristics V2 were voluntary guidelines that took effect in September 2014 and under those expanded characteristics, a TV, monitor or projector could only be referred to as Ultra High-Definition if it met the certain minimum performance attributes. Some of those minimum performance attributes were that for Upconversion, the TV must be capable of upscaling HD video and displaying it at Ultra High-Definition resolution, hence the inclusion of LG's Tru-4K Engine Pro, our best resolution enhancer yet, which better upscales content for incredible picture quality on LG Ultra HD 4K TVs that makes it possible for you to upscale content so closely to native 4K. As for the requirement that for the Display Resolution the TV should have at least eight million active pixels, with at least 3840 horizontally and at least 2160 vertically, the 55EG9600 has an Ultra HD 4K resolution of 3840x2160. Another attribute was for the Digital Input. The Tv had to have one or more HDMI inputs supporting at least 3840x2160 native content resolution at 24p, 30p and 60p frames per second (i.e. HDMI 2.0). At least one of the 3840x2160 HDMI inputs shall support HDCP revision 2.2 or equivalent content protection and the 55EG9600 has such ports. ULTRA HD (3840 x 2160 pixels) broadcasts and related standards have not yet been confirmed and currently, there are very few products that have HDCP 2.2 which is essentially an UltraHD 4K copy protection, but will work fine with current devices and new HDCP 2.2 devices, presuming you're not trying to send content with 2.2. Any current Blu-ray player will send 1080p to a 2.2-enabled receiver, or to a 4K TV, with no issues. Keep in mind that that are a lot of receivers shipped that have HDMI 2.0 but are not HDCP 2.2 compliant. Fortunately the TV has a port that is HDCP 2.2 compliant so you will be okay should you upgrade to an HDCP 2.2 compliant receiver...^IFV
Q: Is this tv capable of supporting high dynamic range?
A: LG’s EG9600 Curved OLED 4K TV series soon will receive a firmware update that enables consumers to stream HDR content from current and future streaming content providers...^IFV

Q: OLED TV regular vs The Ultra
A: I think you're asking about the 1080p OLED and the 2160p 4K OLED. In that case, the difference is the resolution. Though to be honest, I saw the 1080p on display and the picture was so good that I assumed it was the 4K Ultra.
Q: Is this the UA or UB model?
A: The one I just got from bestbuy was the UB model.
