4K Isn't Top of the Line Anymore: LG Has an 8K TV

4K Isn't Top of the Line Anymore: LG Has an 8K TV
BERLIN — If you're saving up for a 4K TV, some bad news: it won't have the sharpest picture around.
That's because LG brought a 98-inch 8K LCD television to the IFA tech conference here — and it's 16 times the resolution of full HD, according to the company.
To no surprise, the picture is incredibly sharp. But compared with all the 4K TVs, we can't tell that much of a difference.
No details on specifications, pricing or release date are available. But the
8K format is generally regarded as 7,680 x 4,320 for more than 33 million pixels in professional environments.
Unlike many of the TVs shown at IFA, LG's 8K is not curved, and it has a 120Hz LCD instead of an OLED panel. (We still want one, though.)
The company also brought a 105-inch, curved 5K (5,120 x 2,160 pixels) TV set to IFA, which we already saw at CES in Las Vegas.
Samsung also has a nameless 98-inch 8K TV on display at its enormous IFA booth.
