LG unveils 88-inch 8K TV ahead of CES

LG has unveiled what it claims is the world’s first 88-inch 8K OLED display as the company affirmed its commitment to the high-end TV market.

LG will showcase the 8K display at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas next week and said that the 8K panel offers higher resolution without compromising brightness.

The OLED display will offer 33 million pixels (7680×4320) – 16 times more than full HD (1920×1080) and four times more than Ultra HD (3840×2160).

“The successful development of the world’s first 8K OLED display is a milestone for the 8K era and underscores the exciting potential of OLED,” said In-Byung Kang, executive vice president and chief technology officer at LG Display.

“OLED is clearly a next-generation technology leader and for this reason, LG Display is accelerating its research and development into OLED so that we can provide differentiated products to customers and markets.”

LG Display’s booth will be found at N228 in the North Hall Meeting Room of the Las Vegas Convention Center during CES, which runs from January 9-12.
