Featuring the biggest OLED panel currently available, in the highest resolution available, LG's new 88-inch (2.2-metre) 8K TV is arguably the most advanced television on the market. OLED provides the best picture quality by far, of current technology, and seeing 8K images on this display is simply jaw dropping.
But the LG Z9 doesn’t come cheap. The television ships for an equally jaw dropping price of $59,999; but that includes shipping so I guess it’s a bargain, really.
The price of this television is quite frankly obscene. Anyone who can devote a living wage to buying a television is clearly earning too much money, but discussions of income inequality are better suited to other sections of the site.
Of course, there is almost no content available in 8K resolution — free to air channels barely make it to 1080p — but the LG Z9 beautifully upscales current images to fill the screen. And once panels become this large, 8K is almost a necessity; you would see the individual pixels of a 4K display at standard view distance.
