LG launches next-gen OLED Evo TVs in India, also brings QLED series for 2025

India Today9 hours ago
For several years now if you want a top-end OLED TV, one of the choices in the market has been the Evo TVs from LG. Now, the company has launched its latest range of OLED Evo in India, along with a refreshed lineup of more mainstream QLED Evo and QLED TVs. It is important to note that LG calls its QLED technology QNED.advertisementThe new OLED Evo TVs have been launched in several variants. The G5 Series OLED Evo TVs are absolute top of the line televisions from LG, and they will be available in India in multiple screen-sizes, including large sizes such as 97-inch and 77-inch. Then there are the C5 series OLED Evo TVs, and finally there are B5 series OLED TVs. The difference between Evo and non-Evo OLED TVs is most likely going to be in their peak brightness, with Evo TVs able to achieve slightly higher peak brightness and able to hold this brightness longer even in warmer rooms. Another notable difference is the refresh rate. The latest Evo TVs now come with 165Hz refresh rate, something that gamers would appreciate immensely.
LG says that its new TVs are powered by the company's latest Alpha AI Processor Gen2. The TVs also now come with some AI features, which may help some users get better user experience. 'With our 2025 OLEDevo and QNEDevo line-up, we are not just introducing new TVs, we are introducing smarter companions that understand our users and adapt to their preferences,' said Brian Jung, a senior director at LG Electronics India. 'Backed by our upgraded Alpha AI processor, this new range reflects our commitment to innovation and customer-centric design.'Just like the previous LG TVs, the new ones also use WebOS software. LG says that the redesigned home screen in its latest version of WebOS is more intuitive, faster, and tailored to individual profiles, allowing each user to enjoy a personalised TV experience.LG says that its OLED Evo TVs will have a starting price of Rs 149,990 for the C5 series and Rs 267,990 for the G5 series. The largest of the bunch — G5 97-inch TV — will carry an MRP of Rs 2,499,990. The Regular OLED series, which is B5, will have a starting price of Rs 193,990. The QLED Evo — or QNED Evo as LG calls it — TVs will have a starting price of Rs 119,990 while the regular QLED TVs will have a starting price of Rs 74,990.- Ends

Currency watch: Rupee rises 16 paise to 85.76 against dollar; crude oil slide & weak greenback lift sentiment

The rupee appreciated by 16 paise to settle at 85.76 against the US dollar on Tuesday, helped by a weaker greenback and softer crude oil prices globally. However, persistent foreign fund outflows and uncertainty surrounding the ongoing India-US trade negotiations limited the currency's upward movement, according to forex dealers. At the interbank foreign exchange market, the rupee opened at 85.97 and moved in a tight range between 85.75 and 85.97 during the session. It eventually ended the day at 85.76, recovering from its previous close of 85.92, PTI reported. "The Reserve Bank of India has been guarding the rupee at the 86.00 level and on Tuesday also ensured that the rupee opens a tad higher than 86," said Anil Kumar Bhansali, Head of Treasury and Executive Director at Finrex Treasury Advisors LLP. He added, "For tomorrow (Wednesday), we expect the rupee to be in the range of 85.50–86.10 with expectations of more flows." Dollar, crude prices ease The dollar index, which tracks the US currency against a basket of six peers, declined 0.11% to 97.97, supporting emerging market currencies. Brent crude, the global oil benchmark, was down 0.43% to $68.91 per barrel in futures trade, reducing pressure on India's import bill. Trade talks and equity flows in focus The gains in the rupee were tempered by ongoing concerns over the outcome of bilateral trade negotiations between India and the US. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Đây có thể là thời điểm tốt nhất để giao dịch vàng trong 5 năm qua IC Markets Tìm hiểu thêm Undo A team from India's commerce ministry is currently in Washington for the latest round of discussions on the proposed bilateral trade agreement. The four-day meeting began on Monday and is set to conclude on Thursday. M eanwhile, India's merchandise exports held steady at $35.14 billion in June, while the trade deficit narrowed to a four-month low of $18.78 billion, according to government data released Tuesday. On the domestic equities front, both benchmark indices ended in the green. The Sensex rose 317.45 points to close at 82,570.91, and the Nifty advanced 113.50 points to settle at 25,195.80.

When Rs 12 beats Rs 175: Bengaluru founder snubs costly auto prices, uses cheaper option to protest ‘stupid fares'

Swapnil Jain , co-founder of Ather Energy , did not expect a normal Monday morning commute to kick up such noise. He had both his vehicles parked at the office, so when he needed to get back, he tried the usual option. 'For various reasons, both my vehicles were parked at the office and I had no ride. Tried booking an auto because it is only 4 kms, but the price was ₹175. Heck with it, just decided to take a bus to office at ₹12,' he posted on X. And that was that. Or so he thought. 'Protesting stupid auto prices' Calling it what it was, Jain wrote, 'This is me protesting against the stupid auto prices.' — swapniljain89 (@swapniljain89) Live Events The phrase struck a chord. In Bengaluru, short auto rides turning costly is nothing new. Jain's public refusal felt relatable for many. His ₹12 bus ticket said more than a rant ever could. UPI payment, no loose change There was more to this than the fare. Jain pointed out that BMTC's UPI option makes life easier. No awkward wait for coins. No hunting for change in the pocket. He also gave a nod to Switch Mobility's electric buses . Comfortable enough, he said. A slight lag in acceleration did not bother him much. He figured it was down to shifting passenger weight. Bengaluru joins in The post caught on. Others began to chip in with their own stories. One user wrote, 'BMTC has been my primary mode for the last 1 year. Other than the sudden acceleration or braking, no complaints. No issue with frequency (500D), and no last-mile connectivity issues either.' Someone else shared, 'Use the Namma BMTC app for live tracking. It's not perfect, but it works. Pair it with UPI and you're sorted.' Another liked Jain's small stand, saying, 'I like how you don't waste money on simple things. It's not just about saving ₹100- ₹150, it's about staying grounded in the roots we come from.' Of course, not everyone clapped along. One user poked fun at Jain's scooters. 'Same way we don't want to waste money on your scooters that stop when there's a pillion rider. You call that derating? Hilarious!' the user said. Someone found fault with the buses too. 'Why can't the floor be flat? Too many steps inside, feels like climbing into an auditorium,' read another reply. Others dropped tips. 'You can get daily passes through the Tummoc app too. Also, airport buses on the BMTC app are really accurate.' Under it all, this was not only about a short bus ride. Jain's post pulled out an old complaint Bengaluru commuters share quietly every day. Auto fares that feel random. The relief when the bus turns up on time. Small fixes like paying through an app. 'Needed a rick in the rain, guess who's charging Rs 175 for 3 km? Rapido!' another user added, showing this is not one man's story. Swapnil Jain's choice to spend twelve rupees instead of one seventy-five will not overhaul Bengaluru's transport overnight. But it has pushed a simple idea back into the open. Sometimes a bus ride is worth more than it costs. And a small protest can make people pause and think before hailing the next pricey rick.

Vadodara: The Employment-Linked Incentive (ELI) scheme, approved by the Cabinet under Prime Minister Narendra Modi , will boost employment generation, improve employability and extend social security coverage.
