Here’s a fact; you don’t need an 8K smart TV even though you could afford it. That’s because broadcasters and online streaming service providers have not yet started using the video resolution standard to push video content to your TV. However, this did not stop LG from showing off a whopping 88″ OLED 8K (7680×4320) Smart TV at this year’s CES at Las Vegas.
Samsung too didn’t shy away from the 8K frenzy. The South Korean electronic giant flirted its 8K QLED Smart TV as if to give its rival LG a run for its money. Samsung unveiled the Q9S, which it calls the first 85-inch 8K TV with artificial intelligence.
Another big dog in Tvs, Sony demoed “X1 Ultimate Full-Spec HDR 8K Display” with screen size of 85″ with a peak brightness of 10,000 nits.
