LAS VEGAS — Premium products are apparently not premium enough for LG. At CES, the Korean electronics giant introduced LG Signature, its new ultra premium brand of electronics spanning new 4K OLED TVs to washing machines to a fancy air purifier.

Signature products such as the company's ultra-thin 4K OLED TV are designed and crafted with simplicity in mind and high functionality in mind. The products are minimalist in design and eliminate any any unnecessary elements that detract from the their pure essence, said David Vanderwaal, vice president of marketing at LG Electronics USA. Indeed, LG's Signature products are gorgeous streamlined products. They look very Apple and MUJI-like in design. As Vanderwaal put it on stage during the company's CES press conference, they kind of look like they belong on a spaceship.

LG's 4K OLED TV is unbelievably thin at 2.75mm; about the thickness of four credit cards stacked together, and the picture quality is tops, with blacks that are ridiculously deep (and not dark gray) and colors that pop right off the screen. LG's been singing the advantages of OLED TVs for years and they're finally making their way to consumers.air purifier with essential oil You don't need to understand all of the geeky TV specs for LG's Signature 4K OLED TV to appreciate the picture quality. air purifier motorJust take a look at this comparison between LCD and OLED below. can an air purifier help me sleep betterIt's obvious which one is superior (hint: right one). LCD vs. OLED contrast. But will consumers care about picture quality on such a nerdy level?

The fridge is as modern and gorgeous as a stainless steel fridge can get and comes with a few interesting smart features. For example, you can knock on the front window and it'll turn from black to transparent, letting you see what's inside without having to open the door. LG says this helps cut down no energy usage. Lazy to a new level: knock on fridge door to reveal what's inside! Another cool feature is the "Auto door" system located on the bottom of the fridge, which will automatically open the door when it detects your foot is underneath the projected light; it's handy for when your arms are full of groceries. LG says the feature is intelligent enough to not open the door for pets. LG also announced a Signature hybrid air purifier. LG says it wants consumers to be able to "confirm freshness and pureness" with their eyes, which is why the air purifier has a transparent window.

While I'm not sure I'd want to sit there and see how dirty the air I'm breathing in at home is, I welcome the thought and agenda LG is trying to push. That is, a healthier life starts with understanding what's happening around you, especially in the air, which is invisible.

As an ultra premium lineup, expect the pricing on these products to be expensive.How do you top a washing machine that lets you wash two loads at once? That was the question on everyone's lips when LG took the stage for its CES 2016 press conference in Las Vegas. The undeniable star of 2015 was the Twin Wash, and LG didn't disappoint this year, showing a off a new super-premium version of the washing machine. But you don't play your greatest hits at the start of the gig. The Korean electronics giant kicked off the show with a somewhat less exciting refrain: car tech and Internet of Things.LG President and CTO Dr. Skott Ahn introduced the automotive tech, saying that LG would improve the way cars show you information, the way cars see the world around them and the way cars communicate.

"We developed various display technology specifically for cars," Ahn said, noting that LG has a "large patent portfolio" that expands to radios and sensors. With the LG sensor tech, cars will be able to detect road conditions in real time, over both short and long distances. Appliances large, small, and smart at CES... The company is supplying eleven core components for General Motor's next electric car, along with other manufacturers. Once again LG spoke of the Internet of Things, a big focus for its CES presentation last year. This year, however, the company paint fairly broad strokes, discussing its SmartThinQ IOT platform, as well as mentioning some new interoperability with other products such as Nest and ADT.Next up was LG Signature, its dedicated lineup of premium products. In a truly gushing and extensive section of the conference, LG spoke a lot about the Signature products "maintaining their essence" from the design process through to the consumer experience. Which suggests they've never watched "Dr Strangelove".

The lineup of Signature products includes the top-end of its new OLED TV range, a fridge, another twin washing machine (of course) and a...well, an air purifier. Not content with just being the "best picture quality of any TV we've tested", according to CNET's TV guru David Katzmeier, the company is flying the OLED flag even higher for 2016. The OLED lineup will all have basically the same picture quality, which LG claims is a bit better than the 2015 versions we liked so much. This means styling, and presumably price, will be the main difference in the new models.The highest-end model, the G6 (available in 77- and 65-inch sizes), has a sleek detachable speaker bar that can be mounted behind the TV when wall-mounted. Both it and the step-down E6 (55- and 65-inches) have LG's slimmest design yet, "panel-on-glass" that measures just 2.57 millimetres (one-tenth on an inch) thick. There's also the "lesser" curved C6 and the flat B6.The newer sets also offer a somewhat wider colour gamut and compatible with Dolby Vision HDR, in addition to the HDR 10 standard that the 2015 sets supported.

Why are we excited about HDR? Well High Dynamic Range means that the range of both contrast and colour get significantly expanded. Bright parts of the image can get much brighter, so the image seems to have more "depth." (Read a far more detailed explanation of why HDR is a good thing here.) There's even a new Ultra HD certification for the products, Ultra HD Premium. These TVs will be some of the first to sport the new logo. Pricing for the G6 series was not announced, although LG's rep told CNET that the 65-inch size should come in at "less than $10,000." It will ship in the first quarter of 2016.In terms of non-OLED TVs, we saw the Super UHD range announced ahead of CES, before the company went back to hyping the quality and importance of OLED.

The Signature washing machine features auto dosing detergent, with smart phone notifications for when the detergent tank is empty.
