Gigantic televisions have become a common sight in the rooms of many gamers. But what LG Display wants to showcase at a trade show makes even the largest TVs look like tiny gadgets.
If you want to give your own TV an inferiority complex, you should show it the 8K OLED from LG.
At the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, LG Display will introduce the monster: The 88-inch television sets a new record. The previously largest OLED measured only a meager 77 inches and could only display 4K.
LG Display is considered a leader in this field; even though other brands offer OLED technology, their panels come from LG Display, according to Engadget.
One problem with the giant thing is definitely the price. The 76.7-inch monitor was already priced at 20,000 US dollars and could only handle 4K. For the 88-incher with four times the resolution, it will likely go comfortably beyond 100,000 US dollars, speculates GameStar, assuming the giant even makes it to market.
A lot cannot really be done with an 8K television right now, as there is hardly any content available for it. Many TVs that people actually have at home are still struggling with UHD. Only in 2020, with the Olympic Games in Tokyo, can such giants finally shine in everyday life. The games are expected to be broadcast live in 8K.
