In noir, light is fleeting—but darkness tells the truth.

A flickering streetlamp, a cigarette glow, a face half-lost in shadow. These moments aren’t accidents. They’re everything.

That’s where LG OLED comes in. With self-lit pixel technology, it delivers Perfect Black—not just darker darks, but a true absence of light. No blooming, no backlight, no washed-out grays. Just precision. Certified by UL Solutions, LG OLED’s black levels meet the highest global standards, revealing detail black levels in both bright and dark environments.

If your screen can render darkness this perfectly, why not explore the genre that depends on it?
