LG’s Easel is a stylish TV for a stylish home
Available in August
One underrated aspect of smart homes is how devices look less and less conspicuous. Certainly, smart devices are way better if they meld seamlessly with your home’s interiors. Now, by far, the most obstinate example of this phenomenon is the transformation of TV sets into something less mechanical, such as in Samsung’s The Frame. Today, LG is launching its own interior-friendly TV, the Easel.
As part of its OLED Objet Collection, the Easel looks as it sounds. The device resembles an easel that you can set up in any living room. However, it’s not just a matter of looks. The device also comes with a movable fabric cover such as on an actual easel.
Controlled using the remote, the movable fabric cover can change how the device works. For example, engaging Line View will narrow the screen to a small slit. This mode works perfectly if you’re using the set as an audio player, a clock, or even just as set decoration.
Alternatively, using the device’s Full View will engage LG’s iconic OLED evo technology and 80W 4.2ch sound. Under the hood (or fabric?), the device sports the a9 Gen5 AI processor, merging hardware with software.
Naturally, the Easel does cost a pretty penny. Starting on August 1, users can purchase the device for SGD 9,999 through LG, Lazada, Shopee, and other authorized stores.

TCL enters RGB-Mini LED race with RM9L series
New flagship promises brighter, more precise color on ultra-large screens
TCL has officially unveiled the RM9L, its first RGB-Mini LED TV, signaling a serious push into the next phase of premium display technology.
Announced in New York, the RM9L positions itself as TCL’s most advanced Mini LED offering yet. It leans heavily into color performance, using dedicated red, green, and blue LEDs instead of traditional white backlighting. The result: more precise color reproduction and support for up to 100% BT2020 color space, a benchmark often associated with high-end cinematic displays.
At the core of the RM9L is TCL’s CSOT UltraColor Filter paired with a new 30-bit by 3 backlight controller system. Together, they form a 120-bit color system designed to deliver finer control across each RGB channel. TCL says this enables better shadow detail, improved uniform brightness, and more consistent color across massive screen sizes.
The TV also packs a CSOT WHVA 2.0 Ultra panel, enhanced halo control for local dimming, and over 3,800 dimming zones. Peak brightness can reach up to 6,000 nits, putting it among the brightest TVs announced so far. Powering everything is the TSR AI Pro processor, which handles scene-by-scene optimization across color, contrast, clarity, and motion.
Built for big-screen immersion
The RM9L is clearly designed for larger-than-life viewing. It supports a native 144Hz refresh rate, with Game Accelerator 288 VRR and four HDMI 2.1 ports for gaming setups. TCL is also leaning into audio, with built-in sound tuned by Bang & Olufsen and support for Dolby Atmos FlexConnect for expandable home theater setups.
On the smart side, the TV runs on Google TV with Gemini integration, adding AI-powered assistance and content discovery.
An upcoming OTA update will bring support for Dolby Vision 2 Max, which introduces features like Content Intelligence, a new Imagine Engine, and Authentic Motion. TCL says this update will improve HDR brightness while preserving the creator’s original intent through bi-directional tone mapping.
Subheading: Pricing and availability
The TCL RM9L series is now available for pre-order in ultra-large sizes:
- 85-inch – $7,999.99
- 98-inch – $9,999.99
- 115-inch – $29,999.99
With the RM9L, TCL is making a clear bet: bigger screens demand better color. And with RGB-Mini LED, it’s aiming to lead that shift.
