Ultimate picture technology
This stunning TV is the first 48 inch OLED TV in the range and demonstrates the superb picture quality that OLED is renowned for. Rather than using a backlight, OLED TVs feature self-illuminating pixels. This SELF-LIT technology means that you get 100% colour fidelity, infinite contrast with the deepest depth and stunning detail.
48 inch – OLED made compact
Widely regarded as one of the finest screen technologies, OLED sets a standard for contrast and black levels that’s hard to beat. Although unavailable for many years, it’s now possible to get a 48 inch version of the award-winning technology, meaning you get all the OLED wonder but at a size that fits your room.
Power at its core – Alpha 7 Gen 4 processor
This LG 48 inch TV uses a new, more powerful processor for optimised sound and vision. The Alpha 7 Gen 4 processor features deep-learning algorithms that analyse and then optimise content. Whether you’re watching a movie or sport, TV or gaming, the processor adapts the sound and vison, automatically.
Ultimate detail - Dolby Vision IQ
For ultimate detail, in all environments, this LG OLED features Dolby Vision IQ. Dolby Vision IQ version uses data within the signal and light sensors inside the TV to adjust the picture quality for the best contrast. This improves the picture’s brightness, without ‘washing out’ the depth. You get a consistent picture quality, however light or dark your room is. Whether you’re watching a brightly lit sports event or moody movie, Dolby Vision IQ adjusts to suit.
HDR made better, with HDR10 Pro
LG’s powerful processing also helps in getting the very best from HDR10 material. Whether watching movies or gaming with HDR10 games, HDR10 Pro intensifies the regular HDR experience. HDR10 Pro automatically adjusts the brightness, enhancing colour and detail for a more vivid picture.
See the picture exactly as originally intended, with Filmmaker Mode
If you’re mad about movies, you’ll love Filmmaker Mode. Designed in collaboration with filmmakers and Hollywood studios, Filmmaker Mode lets you experience the cinematic vision, exactly as the director intended. Overriding the TV’s own motion and picture processing, Filmmaker Mode presents the correct aspect ratio, colour and frame rate – just as the filmmakers intended.
Welcome home - LG webOS 6 for the best in smart TV
Widely regarded as one of the best smart TV platforms, LG’s webOS system just keeps getting better. The latest webOS 6 uses your viewing history to recommend a range of shows and movies from across various apps. An improved home page offers improved graphics, with dedicated info and search boxes.
Magic Remote made better
LG’s Magic Remote has always led the field for simple, gesture and voice control. The latest version retains this, while offering direct keys for popular streaming services and a new, cleaner style. Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, Disney + and Rakuten TV are all now just the touch of a button away. Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa also get dedicated buttons for simply voice recognition.
The hub of your home entertainment
Featuring LG’s ThinQ AI technology, you can control a Home IoT ecosystem with natural voice recognition. With both Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa built-in, it makes it even easier to control your LG OLED TV and quickly access the entertainment you’re looking for.
Make the upgrade to OLED, for less, with the LG OLED48A16LA.

Premium quality screen, impressive performance
I understand this is an entry level OLED TV, but its core component - screen - is premium quality, and I could not find anything that it does not do well. It is impossible to tell what more expensive TVs do better without putting them next to this one. 4K footage looks stunning. Full HD upscales really well and looks just as good as 4K. Upscaled YouTube videos are sharp, crisp and realistic, as if in 3D, with all miniscule details. DVDs look sharper, as if in HD, and even VHS copies look better than the originals. Very low resolution contents sometimes twinkles, as the TV tries to upscale static shots.
The TV plays any video files from flash cards and external hard drives: DVD VOB, mp4, etc. The sound is deep and the volume is beyond my requirements. The remote with a pointer is very handy. There are 2 HDMI and 2 USB ports, slightly awkward to reach when wall mounted; more can be added with splitters. It has got a basic web browser, so any videos that can be found on a PC can be found and played on this TV, albeit tabs and right click are not available.
Overall, impressive quality and performance. I now want to watch more videos because of this TV.

Good but not great
The only real gripe is the TV guide/search in Apps. Text size is so small - we have our TV on the wall in a large lounge and sit down the other end of the room. Neither my partner nor I, both of whom are long-sighted, can read the guide or search without wearing glasses which we've had to purchase in order to read the TV. The other dislike is searching backwards in the channels which seems to offer a more limited selection of programmes to watch on demand than was the case with our previous Hitachi.
