Like the G3 family TVs, the OLED M series models incorporate a wall bracket that allows us to install them minimizing the space between the TV enclosure and the wall surface. From an aesthetic point of view it is an asset in its favor, although the 97-inch model can also be installed directly on the floor using a stylish and sturdy metal legs. However, they are only suitable for this revision, the 97-inch, and must be purchased separately.
The remote control that LG delivers with the 97-inch model, which is the only one in the M series that bears the ‘Signature’ surname, is metallic and has a good number of shortcuts. The other two versions, the 77-inch and 83-inch models, feature the same plastic Magic Remote that LG delivers with its other TVs. It is a pity that the much more careful metal remote control is not included with all premium TVs of this brand.
Zero Connect Box: this connection module is the real heart of this television
In the following detail picture we can see what looks like the Zero Connect Box module to which we have to connect all the video sources, such as the antenna, our DVD or Blu-ray Disc player, or our video game consoles. The philosophy of this connection module is the same as the One Connect proposed by Samsung with some of its high-end TVs, but there is an essential difference between these two solutions: the LG Zero Connect Box module transports the audio and video signals to the TV via a wireless link.
During this contact, I did not miss the opportunity to ask Luis Navarrete, LG’s technical manager in Spain, what wireless connection technology this module uses. Interestingly, it uses neither WiFi nor Bluetooth; it uses a proprietary technology with a higher frequency than those two standards. LG promises us that we can house the connection module up to 10 meters away from the TV as long as there are no bulky obstacles between the two devices. And yes, it works. I had a chance to check it out, and indeed, the connection is stable at that distance.
