4K televisions have finally gone mainstream, and prices are falling. But another big upgrade is just around the corner: 8K displays, like LG’s 88-in. model, are trickling out and promise even better picture quality for the big game or family movie night. LG’s display is the first 8K TV with OLED technology, which allows for a higher-­contrast picture and a thinner ­display—the LG TV is a mere 1.96 in. thick. 8K-­quality movies don’t yet exist, but LG’s display will “upscale” existing video until true 8K content becomes available. LG’s Tim Alessi says that, unlike other TVs, this model’s resolution will even allow for comfortable viewing in tighter spaces. “You can get up super close to it, and you’ll still see a solid, clear, well-defined image,” he says. —Alex Fitzpatrick
