Overview
- LG confirmed it has stopped making 8K OLED and LCD TVs and has suspended further development, according to FlatpanelsHD reporting.
- LG Display said 8K OLED panel work is on hold with a restart dependent on improved market conditions.
- With Panasonic a niche seller, Samsung now stands as the only major brand still offering 8K sets, and industry reports say its 2026 range has narrowed to a single QN990H shown at CES.
- Panel supply has constricted as LG Display ended 8K production and Samsung Display, BOE, Innolux, and TCL CSOT largely halted output, leaving AU Optronics as the lone 8K panel maker.
- Industry data show 8K TV sales fell from 386,800 units in 2022 to 214,400 in 2023 and are projected at 136,800 for 2025, reflecting high costs, limited content, and signaling constraints.
