LG will no longer make any 8K OLED or LED TVs.

According to FlatpanelsHD, LG Display has halted production of 8K panels. We haven’t seen a new 8K model from LG since 2024, and certainly won’t in 2026. So for the seven people that still care about 8K TVs, Samsung is the only manufacturer still making them.

The PS5 version of Dotemu’s latest retro-styled side-scroller, Ninja Gaiden: Ragebound, is down to an all-time low of $23.99 ($16 off) at Woot when you use promo code GAMER.
