LG is many things, but it’s largely a TV/display company. The Korean giant’s TVs are some of the best that you can get on the market. 2024’s LG TVs are set to get a huge boost in performance thanks to the upcoming Alpha 10 processor powering them.
Just like with smartphones or computers, a TV’s performance depends on the chip that’s powering it. A better chip means better image processing and overall better visuals. LG uses its series of Alpha chips in its TVs to help deliver their superior pictures using machine learning. Now, the next generation is set to launch in the next couple of months.
2024’s LG TVs are going to get a boost in picture quality thanks to the Alpha 10 processor
LG is planning some major changes with this new chip, according to ETNews (via Techradar). It’s the first major leap for LG’s chips since 2018 when the Alpha 9 processor was introduced. Since then, we’ve seen iterative changes to the chip year after year. However, next year’s Alpha 10 processor is meant to be a major leap forward. Unfortunately, we don’t have too much information about the actual tech.
What we do know is that this chip will be a step forward because of its AI prowess. LG offered improvements to its on-device performance. When most devices use AI, they usually need the internet to connect to data centers with much more powerful technology. However, the Alpha 10 processor will be able to employ AI right on the chip.
We’re not sure how that’s going to affect the video quality, but it could be for something a bit more interesting. According to a recent announcement by LG, the company plans to implement a VUI (voice user interface) into its WebOS devices in the near future. This would let users use voice commands to navigate different applications. For all we know, this chip could be a major part of this effort.
There will be other improvements
As you can imagine, there will be improvements to the user-facing aspects of the TVs as well. The company says that there will be improvements to the picture quality as well as AI audio improvements.
LG is also working on technology for a motion detection feature. The TV will be able to detect where the viewer is. While that sounds creepy, we’re sure that it could be used to control your TV with gestures, but we’ll have to wait for more information on that.
Lastly, LG isn’t only planning on using the Alpha 10 chip on its TVs. It could be used in other LG products like its smart appliances. So, 2024 should be an exciting year for the company.
