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.”

What I find laughable is that most people in Australia still insist on renting or buying DVD's and playing them on their 1080p televisions. These companies have got no hope selling 8K TV's in this technologically backwards country since the average moron here couldn't care less about playing a 576p movie on a 1080p TV.

Why sell stupid resolution TV's when there is no content for them?

FFS, we've still haven't got HD right in the UK, upscaled crap and only @ 1080i, very little 'proper' HD and even that's not 'stunning HD' or 'crystal clear' as they like to fob you off with! And no 3D then? Wonder what happened to that bandwagon everyone jumped on!!

You are right about the content, we are still waiting for full 1080p as the norm from OTA channels and not 1080i or simply upscaled (on origin) 576p broadcasts.

EUTELSAT PARTNERS WITH VATICAN TELEVISION CENTRE FOR FIRST WORLDWIDE ULTRA HD TRANSMISSION


http://news.eutelsat.com/pressreleases/eutelsat-partners-with-vatican-television-centre-for-first-worldwide-ultra-hd-transmission-1266693

That was last December over Eutelsat (Hotbird) satellites.

:3eyes:

8K will follow the same path as 1080 and 4K: first the TVs then the content.

It's logic, nobody is going to create content if there is no hardware to play/watch it.

NHK channel (Japan) is doing tests in 8K since 2014.

NHK to demo 8K video transmission over a single channel

March 11, 2014

Japanese public broadcaster NHK will present the latest iteration of its Super Hi-Vision system at the 2014 NAB Show, including a closed-circuit demonstration of over-the-air transmission of 8K content in a single 6 MHz UHF TV channel.

http://advanced-television.com/2014/03/11/nhk-to-demo-8k-video-transmission-over-a-single-channel/

Maybe 8K will be the norm in Japan at the same time US and Europe deploy 4K broadcasts.

As Japan prepares to host the Tokyo Summer Olympics in 2020, NHK has already confirmed that it will commence test broadcasts of its 8K technology in 2016, followed by satellite transmissions in 2018, eventually culminating in widespread deployment by 2020.

@Why sell stupid resolution TV's when there is no content for them?
then why are people buying/driving cars that can go faster than most speed limits?
do i have to drive a porsche/corvette always at 200mph to enjoy it?

i dont mind spending the money (if i have it) for a ~100in tv, but FHD will definitely NOT cut it at that size, dont care about the content at that time...

and why would anyone in the broadcasting/movie industry care about making UHD/4K material, if there is no one with a UHD set??

Kinda pointless, yeah, but at least it seems LG is trying to drive the technology further. Anyhow, products like those hardly sell; they're more of a "look at what we're capable of producing" kinda product. Also, bragging rights for the few people who will ever buy them.

I agree. Here in the UK we still cant even get widescreen sorted properly without massive stretching and the so called "HD" is either behind a paywall or hideously upscaled crap that looks worse the better your tv is. SD is apalling quality as well. Lets get everything at a nice decent bitrate before we start thinking about 4k/8k


Haha, I've often wondered what's wrong with certain countries when I watch foreign TV (excerpts from soccer games and such). I'm glad my country doesn't do that. :)
