LG has just added a 48-inch OLED TV to its lineup - and hopefully the price is right

LG is expanding its lineup of OLED TVs with a 48-inch version of its acclaimed CX series 4K set. The company plans to launch the 4K Ultra HD OLED 48CX in June, first in Europe and Asia, and soon in North America.

We had the opportunity to go hands-on with a 65-inch version of the LG CX OLED TV. If there is a problem with this TV, however, it is its relatively high asking price of $2,500.

The 48-inch LG CX is a bit less expensive at $1,500. While it doesn't quite reach the $1,000 mark that we had hoped for when we previewed LG's 2020 TV lineup earlier this spring, the 48-inch model is still cheaper than the $1,800 55-inch OLED55CXPUA.

Those familiar with other versions of the LG CX OLED TVs will know what to expect from the 48-inch version; LG promises a pixel density of 8 megapixels, and thanks to the 48CX's compact design, it will offer density comparable to a 96-inch 8K set . The new TV will support HDR10 and Dolby Vision at up to 120 frames per second. Gamers will appreciate the Nvidia G-Sync compatibility and support for the HDR Gaming Interest Group's HDR gaming profile.

As for audio options, the 48-inch version of the CX supports the same AI acoustic tuning settings and Dolby Atmos support that wowed us when we tested the 65-inch model.
