This is what Jaime is getting at... 1. If you're the consumer who buys a TV every 4 to 8 years, you should upgrade for future proofing. 2. Regardless if there's not even content on 4K or even 8K, this TV allows upscaling to highest quality avaliable today. 3. The price tag is reasonable for the cutting edge tech. PS, if you don't like this video or the content, it's not for you 👌.
Calibrate the remote by shaking it left right so the cursor pops up and then aim the remote to any corner of the tv so the cursor is in the corner in line with your remote. That way you can hold the remote straight.
The bulk of 8k content is not on any console but actually on RUclips. That's said, US consumers don't sit close enough to their TVs to see any benefits of 8K. Heck, if your 50" 4k TV is 8 ft from your seat, your eyes can't resolve all of the detail. Remember resolution is relative to seating distance.
Although I thoroughly enjoy new tech, I couldn't convince myself to buy an 8k TV today knowing they'll be much cheaper in the years to come when more content is available for them instead of upscaling.
I disagree... This 8k TV will be a fraction of its price 4 years from now. So, I wud suggest a 4k TV for around 1000$ and buy 8k when that's around 1000$. 3500$ for a TV which will come down in price is bonkers. I am sure the quality of panel and the software quality will also improve in the meanwhile
What the heck! I was just thinking of buying one of these for my new house. At one point I thought you were looking out of a window then scene changed on the TV.
And won't be in a long time. Even now most 4K movies are only upscaled from 2K (2048x1080 or 2048x858 CinemaScope) so I doubt there will be many native 8K movies anytime soon. And you would need pretty good internet connection for high bitrate 8K movies 8K gaming isn't really the best either when not using DLSS 2.0 and most games don't have high enough resolution for the textures to benefit from 8K. Native 8K 60fps gaming might be possible in few years
@@bigmaxcc Except even now most real 4K movies are 35mm film scans. Many (most?) new movies are shot on 2.8K or 3.4K Arri Alexa cameras so they obviously aren't real 4K. And even the ones that are shot on 4K are often edited in lower resolution. With 8K there is also the problem with internet speed, you need a fast connection for high bitrate 8K content. Without 8K content there isn't really a reason to have a 8K TV. Real 8K consumer cameras like the EOS R5 are still quite expensive. Of course there is few phones that can record in 8K but the picture quality is bad. I personally don't even have a still camera that could take 8K pictures (33mp 16:9 or 44mp 4:3)
@@sauce1302 In Japan they had 1035i widescreen CRT TV's since 1993. And higher end PC CRT monitors were able to display higher than 1080p resolutions since the 90s.
I've got a 32 inch 1080p 2011 Samsung SmartTV and honestly I don't see a reason to change it. Sure Google discontinued the RUclips app for it way back in summer 2016 but there's an alternative app with which I can cast RUclips videos from my phone to the TV and it works great. It's got at least 2 USB slots, at least 2 HDMI slots, wired internet cable and most likely AUX and jack too. The only thing it doesn't have is Miracast support so I bought a 25 euro Anycast dongle in order to use wireless DeX of my Note9 and it works awesome. All my content is in 1080p as that's the resolution I prefer, anything above feels kind of unnecessary for me. My Note9 is being used on FHD+ as well and I shoot videos in 1080p 30FPS on it which still look great. Oh yeah, another thing my TV doesn't have is H.265 HEVC support but I can easily cast any such video to it from my PC via Universal Media Server and it plays just fine even if there are SRT subtitles as UMS live transcodes H.265 HEVC to H.264 AVC format when needed. Am quite happy with how I've set up the TV and really don't need a better one as I don't use Netflix, Amazon, Hulu or such services at all.
Good review. I would recommend that people wait to purchase any 8K device. Prices will drop over the next 2 years. That's what happened when LG released their curved 4K OLED TV. There's not even a lot of 4K content out there. Upscaling on LG products is really good. How much can the eyes see anyway?
Beautiful TV. Love your videos, you do great work. My 13 yr old 50" LG Plasma still looks great. Most cant tell its not 1080. It retailed at almost the same cost as this one. Back then flat panel HD TV was very expensive. Because of technology and how they evolve, this TV shown, should actually be half the cost of its current pricing. Wait two years or go 4k, save about 2 grand, you'll be future proofed for at least 8 years. Cant imagine how taxed the providers would be supplying all their content in 8k. The next 10 years will be very interesting.
Simple answer is that for 99% of people out there we aren't going to notice this in every day use. I'm still perfectly happy with my 1080p LCD TV from five years ago. My phone has a 1080p screen, and my Nintendo Switch is only 720p. The numbers don't excite me these days.
Yeah, Cable providers are sending in HD (1280x720) or Full HD (1980x1080). Here many still send in SD 576i. But 8K is not for a normal TV viewer either so :P If it is a BIG TV and upscaling works good then maybe it makes some kinda sense.. But not really.. Just sucks that LG use IPS panels on all their LCD (so-called LED) models. Black levels suck in dark rooms so they kinda suck for movies when the lights are dimmed down.
Why are you trying to buy a Full HD TV when a 4K one is easier to find and is just as cheap? Actually it can in some cases be more expencive to buy a Full HD TV. Unless it's a 24 inch or something🤷♂️
You know you can get an LG 65 inch 8K nanocell for $2500 right now, certainly not a rich persons TV though someone making min. wage or slightly above it won't be able to afford it. this is in the price range of a lot of people though it comes down to how much of your income do you want to go to a TV for a period of time.
@@Reaperguy67 I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure that was a joke. I doubt anyone would bother with 144p. I would rather not watch at all if that's all I could get
Uh, most blurays come out on 4K nowadays and there's plenty of streaming now. That said, 8K really isn't needed. The PS5 and XBsX don't really support 8k from my understanding right now

Better fast internet I mean really fast & stable Price wasn’t much of a problem I saved a quite a bit before purchase I had 1080p tv for 10 years so it was worth it Lastly get insurance or have a warranty v important Never know what can happen
I'm not really convinced. Three points... Firstly, in theory the new generation of games consoles can play in 8K, in practice, though, I think it will be like the PS4 or XB1 playing at 4K. On paper it can do it, but short of having some very simple textures, you won't really see good games running at true 8K at a decent frame rate. So you really need to wait another half generation to get true 8K gaming all the time, like the PS4 Pro or XB1X really made 4K work more viably. Secondly, there are no 8K discs on the commercial market. There is 4K, but not 8K. It's just too big for current data storage short of tech demos and B roll displays. The true high end movie enthusists don’t want the data compression nonsense and pixel drops that streaming brings, especially not at that sort of pixel count. Which brings me to… Lastly, really high pixel streaming is just trash. Time and again, streaming services have been caught out saying “4k” when in really it is an upscaled HD image, or 2K at most. You can force some digital streaming players to buffer things, but it’s really hard to get them to do true super high pixel count images continuously. Any bump in your network, due to internal pressures on your router or everyone in your city trying to stream at once at peak time or just everyone being forced home due to lock downs, and you can guarantee that your pixel count will drop, and the streaming services won’t always tell you. If they do it well you might not notice, but sometimes, it’s just awful. As an example, this video defaulted to an upscaled 480p video. I noticed, and turned it up, but that’s the reality of the services. So no, I don’t think we are ready yet. The displays are here, sure, but physical media, streaming services and internet connections are not there yet. Maybe in 4-5 years, maybe. But not now. Get a high quality 4K at a much cheaper price, you probably won’t notice the difference. What’s the point of a display that only uses it’s full capacity 10% of it’s time at most? Is it worth two times the price then, when the human eye struggles above 2k? Wait a while, prices will drop, the tech around the screens will slowly catch up. 😊
@@Pocketnow hehehe, I see you were sent a review unit Edit: And this of course means LG didn't review the video before posting and you can say ANYTHING you want without any worries about a debit or a video revision, they just wanted you to make a video on it which in itself is marketing.... Cool stuff
Poor contrast, black uniformity & levels, bad local dimming & brightness. (Check RTINGS) So sad, I was hoping for a non-oled competitor to samsung as a true rgb subpixel 8k 55inch would make a kickass desktop monitor, but nanocell doesn't cut it for now.
This is such a waste of money, I mean there is no 8k and if there is it would be like 1 or 2 channels just like HD stated I bought a very expensive HD lcd back in the day and there were only like a few channels on HD bit also think hire much ure internet is going to be used with 8k especially with being cap at 1.2t with our local internet company, you will be using all of that 1.2t in one week...good luck to all you suckers...!
4K is dumb and 8K is even dumber. The human eye will see little difference between 2K (1080p) and 4K (2160). This is because a 4K screen has about 8.3 million pixels but the human eye has only about 6 million “cones” which see color. Of those 6 million cones, there are blind spots and focus area’s which further diminish the effective input of the human eye. So go ahead don't believe what your eyes see because they don't.
You are incorrect. The human eye can easily resolve 4k. It depends on the size of the display and distance the viewer sits from the screen. The resolution differences on a 50" TV can be seen from as far away as 5 feet.
