4K vs. 8K: Which is right for you?

When it comes to choosing your next TV, resolution is key to unlocking a truly immersive viewing experience. LG offers cutting-edge options in both 4K and 8K—so which one is right for you? Consider these points:

 

· 4K TVs deliver four times the resolution of Full HD, offering stunning detail and clarity even on large screens.

· 8K TVs take it further with around 33 million pixels, offering the highest image sharpness currently available.

· 4K content is widely accessible through streaming platforms like Netflix, Disney+, Amazon Prime Video and YouTube.

· 8K content is still limited, so the full benefits of 8K resolution may not be fully realised for most viewers right now.

· If you want the most cutting-edge resolution and future-proofing, 8K is the pinnacle—but for everyday viewing, 4K is the smarter choice.

· LG offers a wide selection of 4K TVs across OLED and QNED models, with advanced processing and design suited to any viewing space.
