Frequently Asked Questions
What is the advantage of OLED over LED or LCD in this TV?
The 55EA8800 uses self-illuminating OLED pixels, meaning each pixel produces its own light and can turn off completely. This delivers true black levels, infinite contrast ratio, and wider viewing angles that LED and LCD TVs cannot match.
Does this TV support 4K resolution?
No, the LG 55EA8800 is a 1080p (Full HD) OLED TV. It was part of LG's early OLED lineup before 4K OLED panels became the standard.
What type of 3D technology does this TV use?
This TV uses passive 3D technology with lightweight, battery-free glasses (two pairs included). Passive 3D glasses are more comfortable for extended viewing and do not require charging or syncing, unlike active shutter glasses.
What smart TV platform does it run?
The 55EA8800 runs LG's webOS smart TV platform, which provides access to streaming apps, web browsing, and content sharing through a clean, card-based interface navigated with the included Magic Remote.
How many HDMI ports does this TV have?
The TV includes four HDMI ports total — one HDMI 2.0 and three HDMI 1.4 — along with three USB 2.0 ports, component, composite, optical audio output, and an Ethernet jack.
