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.”

I like products like this, even though I know they are pointless; it's still good to know companies are pushing tech to new levels and limits.

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

FFS, we 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!!

Making a rec.2020 color space TV when 99% of the content is rec.709... The TV probably won't even reach rec.2020 color space anyways.

Instead of coming up with B.S. image processing tech to cheat contrast ratio tests, LG should focus on making better panels... taping 4 4K panels together isn't what I mean though...

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

Eastenders and Corrie in your face at 8k on a 98in screen, it does not bear thinking about, and can you imagine what the TV licence fee would cost to run such a service. lol
