LG has already announced it will be showing off a 55-inch OLED display at CES 2012, but it seems that it will be showing off a 4K television as well.
2012 is set to be a big year for 4K. Toshiba showed off its 4K TV at IFA 2011 - the Regza 55X3 - and said it will be coming to market in 2012 and Sony revealed its debut 4K home cinema projector, the Sony VPL-VW1000ES.
4K quality
LG's 4K television is much bigger than Toshiba's – it has an 84-inch panel and is a lot like the 4K prototype it showed off at last year's CES.
LG is to keep to its passive 3D word and will be offering the technology on the panel and the TV is also set to come with voice recognition functionality, which the company unveiled earlier in the month.
As with most nascent technology, there's hardly any 4K content around, so the television will come equipped with a rather nifty upscaler.
We have already seen Sony's upscaling technology in action on its projector and it is really impressive – with the quality of Blu-ray upped by a factor of four.
Saying that, the likelihood of LG's 4K television coming to UK shores is highly unlikely, but at least we can look on with awe when we report from CES 2012 in January.
