In a shocking twist that has left the tech world buzzing (or maybe just mildly interested), LG has decided to pull the plug on its 8K OLED and LED TVs. Yes, you heard that right! LG Display has officially halted the production of 8K panels, and the last time we checked, LG hadn’t launched a new model since 2024. So, if you were hoping for a mind-blowing 8K experience in 2026, you’re out of luck.
Now, let’s pause for a moment. For the seven dedicated souls out there still chanting the praises of 8K resolution (my condolences), you might want to turn your attention to Samsung. They’re the only big player left in the game, still churning out those 8K beauties—presumably while trying to convince us that we really need to see every pore on our favorite celebrity’s face in hyper detail.
Is it that LG has decided to ditch an oversaturated market, or is it more about realizing that most viewers are still figuring out how to work their 4K settings? Only time will tell, but right now, LG’s silence is deafening, and the rest of us are left wondering: what ever happened to the hype about 8K TVs?
So, in light of this monumental shift, let’s raise a glass to LG’s decision and ponder: is 8K truly the next frontier, or just a fad that went out with cargo pants?
