LG sells its rollable 4K OLED TV in South Korea for around CA$115k

We've seen prototypes of LG's rollable 4K OLED TV over the years. Now, the company is ready to sell it in their home country. The RX-branded Signature OLED R will come in a 65-inch size. As we've seen in CES previews, the display hides away at the television's base at the press of a button. It has three settings: Full View, Line View, and Zero View. 

The Line View shows a small amount of the screen out of the base to display things like a clock, music controls, or show pictures. It can also be lowered so you won't see the black bars while watching movies. Its aluminum base can be engraved with a personal message. And its speaker covers come in four colours. There isn't any news yet about this TV launching outside of Korea. But if you're curious how much it costs, it retails for 100 million KRW, which is around CA$115,656.
