8K Hype Fades: TVs Pivot Back to Real-World Benefits

The TV industry is dialing back its 8K push as practical benefits and native content remain scarce. LG Display is halting 8K panel production, LG Electronics is winding down its 8K line, and the 8K Association’s membership is shrinking. Analysts note that 8K offers little advantage for typical viewing unless screens are very large and viewers are very close, while 4K dominates and other features like OLED, HDR, and Micro LED drive innovation. 8K may persist only in niche or enthusiast markets rather than as a mainstream standard.
