Not content with an HD TV that can be rolled-up like a newspaper, LG has taken the wraps off a jaw-dropping new range of OLED 4K TVs, dubbed the Class G6 and E6 series.

The G6 range, which ship in 77inch and 65-inch variations, and the smaller E6 series, either 65 or 55-inches, are razor-thin.

The OLED 4K TVs measure just 2.57 millimetres – one-tenth of an inch.

To put that in perspective, that means these Ultra High Definition displays are as thick as four credit cards stacked on-top of one another.

LG has also stripped back the bezel around the display until it's almost invisible and added a translucent glass back.

Harman Kardon were also brought on-board to develop a forward-facing sound bar speaker system to sits beneath the svelte new 4K TV.

The latest LG tellys are all loaded with the webOS 3.0 Smart TV platform, to allow easier access to online on-demand video providers.

President and CEO of LG Home Entertainment, Brian Kwon said: "Our 2016 OLED TV lineup features a long list of innovations, such as Picture-on-Glass design and HDR Pro, which are featured prominently in the G6 and E6 models.

"By upping our OLED TV game every year, we are driving innovation in the TV space so that more consumers will see and hear about the benefits of owning an OLED TV.

"We think 2016 will be a game changing year for this category."

Unfortunately, there's no word yet on availability for the LG G6 and E6 series in Europe, although the technology firm is planning to roll-out the 4K TVs in the US this quarter.
