LG Electronics (LG), will introduce its expanded 8K TV line-up next week at CES 2020 – eight TVs with new 77- and 65-inch class models joining LG’s existing 88- and 75-inch screen sizes. The 2020 line-up includes premium 88- and 77-inch class LG SIGNATURE OLED 8K TVs and LG NanoCell TVs.
Each of the model comes with industry’s official new 8K Ultra HD definition set by the Consumer Technology Association (CTA). But other independent labs such as TÜV Rheinland validating the LG Signature OLED 8K and NanoCell TV exceed this definition.
The new 8K TV lineup also feature upgraded performance. This can be attributed to the new 9 Gen 3 AI Processor which leverages deep learning technology to deliver optimised picture and sound quality for all types of content. Of course, this basically means it’s upscaling content through their AI-based 8K upscaling. The AI is based on an intelligent learning network where the AI 8K upscaling delivers more vivid and accurate 8K images by analysing content and applying Quad Step Noise Reduction and frequency-based Sharpness Enhancer to increase lower res content to near 8K crispness.
It’s a step in the right direction as 8K becomes more prominent in the industry, but I’d still say hold on to your wallets for this one. Considering that 8K content isn’t as wide spread, doesn’t make much sense to get an 8K TV anway.
