This is said to thinner than four credit cards stacked together.

Unlike a more traditional television, OLED display don't require a backlight. Instead, each pixel is lit up on a case by case basis, allowing for higher contrast imagery, "perfect black" and greater colour accuracy. In case of the G6T and E6T, LG says they can display over a billion unique colours.

All three TVs are HDR ready, with support for both HDR10 and Dolby Vision. They are UHD Alliance Premium Certified.

The G6T features an integrated sound-bar standard, while the E6T models simply feature front-facing speakers.

Pricing for LG's new models is as follows:

65-inch G6T (also known as the Signature OLED) – AUD$10,999
65-inch E6T – AUD$9,499
55-inch E6T – AUD$ 6,499

LG says initial availability will be limited to a number of stores, but ranging will expand over the remainder of 2016. Harvey Norman and JB Hi-Fi have traditionally been key resellers of LG's OLED televisions.
