LG Electronics Delays 8K OLED TV Development

LG has decided to postpone the development of an OLED 8K 97-inch ultra-large TV. The company’s largest OLED product, the 97-inch model, will maintain its 4K resolution from last year, and no separate plans have been made to release an 8K model. In comparison to Samsung has released a 98-inch Neo QLED 8K TV as a flagship model this year, LG seems to be taking a wait-and-see approach in the competition for ultra-large TV resolution.

According to the latest reports, LG Electronics has internally decided not to release a 97-inch OLED 8K TV. In relation to this, an LG Electronics official stated at the CES 2023 held earlier this month that there are currently no plans for development or release of the product.

The official stated, “There are currently no plans to release a 97-inch OLED TV 8K product,” and added, “We will look at how customers are using the currently available 97-inch OLED TV 4K product and take steps to improve convenience.” Also, “Instead of meaningless resolution competition, we will focus on improving other convenience such as wireless technology.”

In the ultra-large TV resolution market, LG Electronics will likely adopt a “wait and see” approach, monitoring market trends and consumer preferences before committing to developing and releasing a 8K OLED 97-inch TV. This move also highlights LG’s focus on improving overall consumer convenience, rather than just resolution.
