Although 4K content is not yet widely available, hardware manufacturers can always take the lead, such as LG’s latest 8K OLED and 8K NanoCell TV. The new product belongs to LG’s SIGNATURE OLED 8K TV product line, including the 88Z9 and 86SM99 models. Although LG is not the first manufacturer to release 8K OLED TVs, it does have some features that are different from competing products.

As an 8K TV, it requires at least 7680 x 4230 physical resolution. In addition, it has to comply with the International Display Metrology Commission (ICDM) Information Display Measurement Standard (IDMS).

Specifically, the image contrast modulation of a ‘true 8K’ TV should be higher than 25%, and the text should be higher than 50%. However, LG proudly said that its new products can get a score of around 90%.
