[Photo] Samsung and LG clash over dominance in 8K TV market

Samsung Electronics and LG Electronics have begun their battle for dominance in the ultra-high definition TV market with their 8K resolution TVs, each claiming theirs is better than the other. At a press conference I Seoul on Sept. 17, an LG representative claimed that Samsung’s 8K TV “does not meet the standards of 8K resolution,” and is “nothing more than a 4K TV.” Samsung retaliated by holding a press conference on the same day, claiming the quality of TV images is based on more than simple brightness and resolution, and that factors like “resolution processing technology” are also important.
