According to a report from flatpanelshd.com, LG is officially halting production on all 8K TVs. From what I can tell, this leaves Samsung as the only remaining manufacturer -- and its 2026 lineup announcement at CES a few weeks ago made no mention of 8K. Speaking to flatpanelshd.com, the company framed the decision as a temporary hold and said it would be ready to resume if customer interest changed. I've reached out to LG for more details.

Let's consider a popular topic of discussion: "Is the JPEG format still the best for image compression?" Unfortunately, there is no clear answer. Every task has its own unique context. Do you want to optimize the encoding speed? Or do you need to serve high-resolution photos for professional photographers? What if you are storing a bank of screenshots or rasterized vector graphics?

The sharpness setting on a TV does not genuinely affect the displayed image's sharpness. Instead, it alters artificial edge enhancement, which may introduce noise and distort details.

For all its talents, the Bravia 8 II has some downsides compared to the phenomenal LG G5, including lower peak brightness and a backdrop that’s more deep charcoal than pitch black.
