LG Electronics (LG) announces the launch of the world’s first OLED 8K TV, the LG SIGNATURE OLED 8K (88Z9). The 88Z9 stuns with lavish detail and vibrant, lifelike colors that stand as a testament to LG’s extraordinary display technology. LG’s largest OLED TV to date, the 88-inch 88Z9 delivers 8K Ultra HD resolution (7,680 x 4,320) with 33 million self-emitting pixels, equivalent to 16-times the number of pixels in a Full HD TV and four-times that of a UHD TV. It also comes with an integrated 80W speaker system for powerful sound.
Artistic Sculpture Design That Adds a Touch of Sophistication
A winner of this year’s iF Design Award and Red Dot Award, the LG SIGNATURE OLED 8K presents a sophisticated, minimalist design that features a brushed aluminum stand and a virtually bezel-less display. The 8K display sits on top of an Art Furniture Stand that naturally blends in with its surroundings, adding a luxurious feel to one’s home interior while stably supporting the ultra-large screen.
Alpha Processor Enables 8K Resolution and 5.1 Virtual Surround Sound
The LG SIGNATURE OLED 8K boasts effective 8K upscaling and improved noise reduction, upgraded from four- to up to six-steps[1]. The result is a near 8K picture conversion from native 4K (3,840 x 2,160) or Full HD (1,920 x 1,080)[2]. This first-class performance is enhanced by LG’s second-generation α (Alpha) 9 Gen 2 8K intelligent processor. LG’s advanced chip elevates picture and sound quality using deep learning technology and access to an extensive database, enabling it to recognize source quality and optimize any kind of content1. The α9 Gen 2 8K also analyzes ambient conditions to achieve the perfect level of screen brightness.
Rich, resonant audio complements the stellar visual output of the TVs to further enhance viewer immersion. An intelligent algorithm can up-mix two-channel audio to virtual 5.1 surround sound, supplying a three-dimensional soundscape that brings movies, music and sporting events roaring to life. The TV is also WiSA Ready for wireless home theater with uncompressed 16-bit audio on up to 5.1 channels; an outstanding way to experience the dynamic, crystal-clear sound of Dolby Atmos®.
Greater Connectivity for a Streamlined TV Experience
For even more convenience, the 88Z9 will support Apple AirPlay 2 and HomeKitTM. It also offers built-in Google AssistantTM feature, providing easy voice control of the TV and connected smart devices and making it simple for users to get the information they want[1]. Users need only to execute voice commands, and the TV will offer recommendations that suit their tastes and even control connected devices in the home.
A Cinematic Experience at Home
To offer memorable, cinematic viewing sessions, the LG SIGNATURE OLED 8K also features Cinema HDR, providing support for Dolby VisionTM and Advanced HDR by Technicolor up to 4K and Hybrid Log Gamma and HDR10 up to 8K.
Faster Connection from Source to Screen
LG has future-proofed the 88Z9 by providing four ports that support HDMI 2.1 specifications, which will allow viewers to enjoy 8K content at 60 frames per second. The TV is also compatible with automatic low latency mode (ALLM), variable refresh rate (VRR) and enhanced audio return channel (eARC).
“The new LG SIGNATURE OLED 8K transforms the regular TV into an entertainment powerhouse,” said Lee Chang Ha, Product Director, LG Home Entertainment. “With 8K resolution, it delivers more color, depth and detail like no other especially on an OLED display. Complemented with the Art Furniture stand, it is a one-of-a-kind technological and design breakthrough that transforms the living space.”
