LG pushes 4K OLED at IFA, demos concept 8K TV!



Yes we don't have any 4k Blu-ray's but that doesn't stop LG from showing off a 98" 8K display with 16x resolution of a 1080P display.

Although LG could mass-produce it in a year, a representative told me, without any 8K content available, the company will wait until the market is further along in its adoption of 4K before deciding what to do with the technology. The TV on show is an LCD panel with a resolution of 7,680x4,320 pixels.

It uses most of the same tech that's in LG's other LCD TVs, with four of the image processors from its 4K TVs required to produce the high-resolution image (a future model will need just one processor).

LG was playing a pretty basic video when I saw the concept set, with no fast motion or anything too hard to process, but the detail on the image was as rich as you'd expect from something with "16 times the resolution of full HD".
