LG 8K TV meets and exceed the strict Information Display Measurements (IDMS) standard established by the International Committee for Display Metrology (ICDM) according to which “the declared resolution of a screen does not depend only on the number of pixels but also by the possibility of adequately distinguishing the pixels from each other in order to return an image with the declared resolution.

The LG SIGNATURE 8K OLED TV (88Z9) offers an Ultra HD 8K (7680 x 4320) resolution with 33 million self-illuminating pixels, equivalent to 16 times the number of pixels of a Full HD TV and 4 times those of a UHD TV. This TV also incorporates an 80W speaker system.

Thanks to Nano Display technology, the LG NanoCell 75K 8K TV is capable of delivering sharper images despite the large panel. The Nano Color function filters out impurities to improve color reproduction and Nano Black – 8K Full Array Dimming Pro technology – precisely controls the backlight of the TV for deeper blacks and greater contrast.

This performance is further optimized by the second-generation α (Alpha) 9 Gen 2 smart processor that improves the image and sound quality using deep learning technology and access to a large database, allowing it to recognize the quality of the sources and optimize any type of content. This processor also analyzes the environmental conditions to reach the perfect level of screen brightness at all times.

Deep learning is also used to generate virtual 5.1 surround sound with Dolby Atmos support.
