LG Electronics’ newest TV products will take center stage at the 2016 International Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas this week. This year's trend is 8K, and LG has revealed its first production-grade 8K model, the UH9800. The LG SUPER UHD line for the U.S. boasts four series, including the UH9500 (ranging in size from 55- to 86-inch class screen sizes), the UH8500 (ranging in size from 55- to 75-inch class screen sizes), and the UH7700 (ranging in size from 49- to 65-inch class screen sizes). Select models from the new 4K Ultra HD TV lineup will begin shipping in the U.S. in early spring.

Leading the company’s IPS TV offerings will be the 65-inch UH9500 and 86-inch UH9550 and SUPER UHD TV 65-inch UH8500 and 75-inch UH8550. The SUPER UHD TV models offer higher color reproduction rate, advanced picture and sound-enhancing features including HDR (high dynamic range) and LG’s ULTRA Slim design.

Both LG’s top-of-the-line UH9500 and UH9550 units the company's most advanced IPS displays with technologies such as True Black Panel and Contrast Maximizer. True Black Panel minimizes reflections and enhances contrast ratio while Contrast Maximizer delivers more depth and contrast by separating objects from their backgrounds.

HDR Plus is the technology that enables the UH9500 and UH9550 to show 4K HDR content as they were meant to be seen. What’s more, LG’s ULTRA Luminance technology enhances contrast between dark and bright areas, enhancing the HDR effect. And with HDR-compatible HDMI ports and an SDR-to-HDR conversation engine, viewers can enjoy near-HDR content from any standard source.

To enhance color reproduction, LG’s ColorPrime Plus magnifies the range of colors that can be displayed on the screen. The technology utilizes a broadened color spectrum to render a wider range of hues and shades, creating images with greater depth. In addition, Billion Rich Colors, uses the 10-bit panel and 10-bit processing power to give the UH9500 and UH9550 the ability to render over one billion possible colors. And with support for BT.2020, the next-generation standard for broadcast and distribution, these TV models are future-proof with a higher color reproduction rate.

The UH9500 employs LG’s new design concept, making it even thinner than its predecessor. By reducing the gaps between the panel and back cover chassis, the 6.6mm screen depth and near invisible bezels combine to give the appearance of the TV floating on air. And the UH9500 is second to none when it comes to sound. LG worked with harman/kardon to develop a speaker system that could deliver detailed sound. LG’s new Magic Sound Tuning function measures and analyzes the viewer’s environment and makes adjustments to customize the sound to the room’s specific conditions.

Similar to the UH9500 and UH9550 in features, the UH8500 and UH8550 also offer ColorPrime Plus, Billion Rich Colors, ULTRA Luminance and Contrast Maximizer in a slightly different design configuration. LG will also take the wraps off its first production-ready 98-inch 8K SUPER UHD TV (model UH9800) with plans to begin shipping in the second half of 2016.

The 2016 UHD TV lineup also comes with the newest generation of LG's webOS Smart TV platform. webOS 3.0 adds new features to make finding and switching between LG's expanded content options – including broadcast TV, streaming services and external devices – simple and fast. The platform offers enhanced mobile connectivity, remote features and more content options – including those offering streaming HDR.
