you're looking at a ninety eight inch 8k TV LG says this is going to be the first production ready 8k television they say is going to ship sometime in 2016 no pricing yet it's going to be a little bit more than $8,000 though a que resolution gives you four times the resolution of 4k and sixteen times the number of pixels as 1080p the number is astronomical 7680 by 40 320 pixels that's more than 33 million pixels or almost 100 million sub pixels lots of pixels I look really closely at the screen of this you can see the tiny little pixels again there's no 8k content available right now this TV actually accepts 8k via an MHL Super MHL connection so there's really no HDMI spec that can handle it either but of course there you will be able to play 4k and 1080p content upscale it to the resolution of the television itself of course it has HDR compatibility LG says that it can increase the peaks and use unused electricity to improve the contrast of this television of course this TV is 98 inches so it's going to be ridiculously expensive when it comes out later this year LG does say it's shipping again the first production ready 98 H 8k television LG's 98 uh90 800 I'm David Katz Myer CES 2016 for CNET
