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.

LG withdraws from the 8K OLED race as Samsung presses on

LG Display has paused development of 8K OLED panels, effectively pulling LG out of the 8K TV market for now. The company’s remaining 8K option is LCD-based QNED models, while Samsung remains active in flagship 8K sets. The move comes amid scarce native 8K content and high prices, with Sony also halting 8K production, underscoring the difficult outlook for 8K TVs.

Sony-TCL Tie-Up Promises a New Era for TVs, Pending Regulatory Hurdles

Sony and TCL have signed a non-binding memorandum of understanding to explore a joint venture in which TCL would own 51% and Sony 49% of Sony-branded TVs and related audio hardware. The deal would give Sony access to TCL’s end-to-end manufacturing and TCL access to Sony’s acclaimed picture processing, potentially lowering costs and boosting Bravia performance, while keeping the Sony/Bravia name. It still requires regulatory approvals, and products are likely years away (potentially 2027), with many questions about how much Sony tech would flow to TCL and how premium vs. midrange lines would be divided. It signals a potential new phase for Sony rather than the end of the brand.

Sony-TCL JV Aims to Shape the TV Era, Bravia Brand Stays

Sony and TCL announced a joint venture to spin Sony's TV and audio business into a new company, with TCL owning 51% and Bravia branding remaining for Sony sets; the plan targets a 2027 start after regulatory approvals. By combining Sony's image/audio tech with TCL's display manufacturing and scale, the partnership seeks to better compete in the crowded smart-TV market, potentially bringing pricing pressure and, on TCL-branded sets, more advertising.

RGB Mini-LED TV Hype Faces OLED Reality in 2026

An opinion piece from Tom's Guide analyzes Micro RGB (RGB Mini-LED) TVs from Samsung, Hisense, Sony, and LG, noting they promise brighter, more vivid color but still fall short of OLED's pixel-level dimming and contrast; while RGB models are expanding to mainstream sizes, pricing is expected to be higher than mid-to-high-end OLEDs, which could limit broad adoption in 2026; in short, OLED likely remains the top pick for picture quality, with Micro RGB shaping the technology landscape but not dethroning OLED yet.
