8K TV

LG Display has announced the development of a new TV panel technology called OLED EX that's claimed to boost brightness by up to 30 percent compared to other OLED technologies for improved picture quality on big-screen TVs.

Consumer electronics company TCL has announced the upcoming release of a new 6-Series Roku TV in the US, which will be available from August in 65-inch and 75-inch flavors – both rocking 8K miniLED quantum dot screens.

Samsung will be showcasing its new range of televisions at CES 2021 next week, and there's a lot to take in: new Neo QLED technology, a solar-powered remote control, a health and fitness app you can run on the big screen, and plenty more.

LG's huge rollable TV is finally about to hit the market after two years. The LG Signature OLED R has a screen that can be rolled away in its base, plus it packs all the visual bells and whistles you’d expect from a TV that costs as much as a Tesla.

While many consumers have just settled into life with 4K TVs, the industry is already charging ahead to 8K. At CES 2020 this week, the race is beginning to heat up as Samsung and LG both show off their latest 8K TVs.

LG has announced the global rollout of its 88-inch Signature OLED 8K television, along with a 75-inch 8K NanoCell TV.

​We first got a glimpse of the world's first 88-inch 8K OLED display from LG back in January 2018, which was then shown off in August at IFA 2018. But it's buyers in South Korea who get the first bite at this monster cherry as LG announces that pre-orders on its home turf start this week.​

There's usually an abundance of new TVs at CES, and the latest models to arrive are from Sony and include the company's first 8K-resolution set for consumers. The Z9G LCD TV is available in 85-inch and 98-inch sizes, to show off all those 33 million pixels.

After making a splash at last year's CES expo with a monster 88-inch 8K OLED screen, LG Display has embedded a sound system into the panel of a huge display and is taking aim at motion blur with a UHD screen boasting the world's fastest moving image response time.​

​Japan's NHK has been experimenting with 8K broadcasting since 1995, sending out a compressed "Super Hi-Vision" signal for the first time back in 2012 and then managing to broadcast some events at the 2016 Rio Olympics. On Saturday December 1, NHK launched the first daily 8K TV channel.​

Samsung has entered the 8K arena with the Q900FN/R. Built around Samsung's quantum dot LCD technology that is designed to compete with OLED, the TVs pack over 30 million pixels and feature AI-powered 8K upscaling – which is just as well given the distinct lack of native 8K content currently.

​Earlier this year, LG opened the box on its 2018 TV line up, which included no less than 10 OLED models varying in size from 55 to 77 diagonal inches. At IFA today, the company has revealed its intention to be first to market with an 8K OLED TV.​
