LG to release 98in 8k-television in 2nd half this year

LG to release 98in 8k-television in 2nd half this year

LG is going into 2016 with a bang. While I am completely savvy with my Ultra HD screen, LG already is thinking 8K and Super UHD TV for consumers. The screen they will release will be a massive 98". LG will also release new 4k Ultra HDTVs this year. Keywords for the new screens include HDR and ultra slim.

LG Electronics’ newest and most innovative TV products will take center stage at the 2016 International Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas next month. Leading the company’s IPS TV offerings will be the 65-inch UH9500 and 86-inch UH9550 and SUPER UHD TV 65-inch UH8500 and 75-inch UH8550. The premium SUPER UHD TV models offer higher color reproduction rate, advanced picture and sound-enhancing features including HDR (high dynamic range) and LG’s alluring ULTRA Slim design.

Both LG’s top-of-the-line UH9500 and UH9550 units boast the most advanced IPS display in the industry with innovations such as True Black Panel and Contrast Maximizer. True Black Panel is a proprietary technology that minimizes reflections and enhances contrast ratio for a more comfortable viewing experience while Contrast Maximizer delivers more depth and contrast by separating objects from their backgrounds.

HDR Plus is the technology that enables the UH9500 and UH9550 to show 4K HDR content as they were meant to be seen. What’s more, LG’s ULTRA Luminance technology greatly enhances contrast between dark and bright areas, greatly enhancing the HDR effect. And with HDR-compatible HDMI ports and an SDR-to-HDR conversation engine, viewers can enjoy near-HDR content from any standard source.

To enhance color reproduction, LG’s ColorPrime Plus magnifies the range of colors that can be displayed on the screen. The technology utilizes a broadened color spectrum to render a wider range of hues and shades, creating images with greater depth and realism. Another innovation, Billion Rich Colors, uses the 10-bit panel and 10-bit processing power to give the UH9500 and UH9550 the ability to render over one billion possible colors. And with support for BT.2020, the next-generation standard for broadcast and distribution, these TV models are future-proof with a higher color reproduction rate.

The UH9500 employs LG’s new design concept, making it even thinner than its predecessor. By reducing the gaps between the panel and back cover chassis, the ultra-thin 6.6mm screen depth and near invisible bezels combine to give the appearance of the TV floating on air. And the UH9500 is second to none when it comes to sound. LG worked with high-end audio pioneer harman/kardon worked to develop a speaker system that could deliver high quality, detailed sound. LG’s new Magic Sound Tuning function measures and analyzes the viewer’s environment and makes adjustments to customize the sound to the room’s specific conditions.

Similar to the UH9500 and UH9550 in features, the UH8500 and UH8550 also offer ColorPrime Plus, Billion Rich Colors, ULTRA Luminance and Contrast Maximizer in a slightly different design configuration. LG will also take the wraps off its first production-ready 98-inch 8K SUPER UHD TV with plans to begin shipping in the second half of 2016.

“We’re confident our newest HDR-enabled SUPER UHD TVs in 2016 will generate much excitement not in the industry, but also with consumers in general,” said Brian Kwon, President and CEO at LG’s Home Entertainment Company. “We are the only company with a dual strategy focused on both OLED and IPS TV technologies and this is proof that we are not prioritizing one display over the other.”

You could easily plonk a 50-55in TV in there, granted, it would be best suited to HD content.

re-size, size gives you what's called visible resolution, IOW, it's easier to see more detail as it's bigger, that's why HD addicts always crave larger TV's as the HD is best expressed on a bigger TV.

If you go into a store and they happen to have a 50in next to a 55in, you'll see what I mean, the 55 is noticeably bigger despite only a few more inches.Of course I COULD use a 50-55" TV but to me they are just too big. They look too big in the stores. I can just imagine what it would look like in my house. I used the 29" Vizio in the living room for over 2 years and was for the most part satisfied since what it replaced was a 27" CRT set and the viewing area in square inches was pretty much the same. It just started to look a little small so I got the 40" Samsung on a Black Friday deal at Walmart and it actually looked big for a few days until I got used to it. Now it seems to be the perfect size. At my viewing distance, a 55" 1080 set would be approaching the limit of maximum clarity according to the spreadsheet I used. It says that 62" is about the max size before you would need a higher resolution. 62" would be way too big for me.

Going back to the 98" monster, think of this. If you turned it upright on it's diagonal axis, it would not fit under your ceiling :eek3:. Isn't that too big for a normal house? It could have a place in lecture halls, auditoriums, or laboratories but for watching Modern Family in your living room? :giggle2:

I think you misunderstand. If the source content is only 25/30 fps, then when deinterlaced to 1080p 50 or 60 the result *is* 1080p when recombined but with one less frame per iteration. The only place that 1080p has mattered is on blu ray (with no 48hz refresh option already existing on TVs, it made more sense to just stick to 1080p/24 and run at that as a native framerate) or PC content which actually has content per frame. If you took 1080p/25 and played it back on a 1080p display you'd just end up with repeat frames.

The reason 1080i made sense is because it could match up to existing PAL/NTSC frame timings. The reason 1080p makes no sense for TV broadcasting of low framerate material is that it would require twice as much for (at best) better compatibility with dubious deinterlacers in STBs or displays.

I'm amazed there are places broadcasting in 720 lines though, in 2016. What's the point :bang:

I just explained how it's not the same. No interlaced content deinterlaced looks the same as progressive content. Please re-read my post.

Thats pixel resolution....you're still missing out on visible resolution....and this is why you're a 1%, ie, the bulk of people buy bigger sets.
Anyway, this is just info, i'm not trying to sell u a TV.
