DUBAI, United Arab Emirates-Monday 23 December 2019 [ AETOS Wire ]
LG
Electronics (LG) announced that its TVs are the first in the world to
exceed the strict requirements established by the Consumer Technology
Association to define the new generation of 8K Ultra HD products and
services delivering four times more detail than 4K TV and 16 times more
than HDTV.
The official
industry 8K Ultra HD designation and logo were developed by the
U.S.-based CTA to set a clear definition for retailers and consumers to
help better identify products that meet key 8K Ultra HD requirements.
LG’s Real 8K TVs, which will make their debut at CES 2020, are the first
to exceed CTA’s specific requirements including those related to
resolution, digital inputs, high dynamic range, upscaling, bit depth and
measurement methodology.
The CTA based
its 8K definition on the threshold specified by the International
Committee for Display Metrology. The measurement guidelines based on
contrast modulation (CM) state that resolution must meet a 50 percent
minimum CM threshold along with at least 33 million active pixels in
order to qualify as 8K UHD.
Starting in
January 2020, every LG 8K TV will display CTA’s 8K UHD logo. New 2020
models build on LG’s leadership position as the only manufacturer
offering Real 8K TVs in two categories – OLED (LG SIGNATURE OLED 8K) and
LCD (LG 8K NanoCell TV) – all delivering CM values in the 90 percent
range, while some other models in the industry remain in the low double
digits.
Third-party
testing by the global product testing and certification organization
Intertek verified that the 75-inch LG NanoCell 8K TV far surpasses the
CM measurement requirement set by ICDM, with the unit returning an
impressive 90 percent CM horizontally and 91 percent CM vertically.
