At the IFA we were able to take a look at the latest trends in the television industry. You can find out in our video what has changed in recent years and what might soon be in your living room.

TVs at the IFA: Bigger, brighter, more expensive

The trend is increasingly towards larger televisions. That’s not just what the figures from the Society for Consumer Research say, it’s also shown by the models on display at the IFA 2022. TVs larger than 50 inches are now part of the standard equipment in German living rooms, and LG, for example, gets carried away with an OLED model with a screen diagonal of up to 97 inches.

Word has gotten around about the benefits of OLED televisions. Incidentally, this also ensures that even Samsung, which had previously held back on this topic, is now jumping on the bandwagon. In addition to the LC-based QLED displays and the new “Neo QLED” models with mini-LED backlight, the South Koreans have also had a QD-OLED television in their range since this summer, which can absolutely keep up in terms of color reproduction.

Micro-LEDs are likely to be a little further in the future for TV enthusiasts. The technology, in which each sub-pixel is represented by a real LED, was made famous by Samsung’s “The Wall” a few years ago. This year the dimensions became significantly smaller thanks to improved technology. Instead of well over 100 inches, as with the first Wall model, the smallest mini OLED device with 4K resolution now measures 76 inches. With a price that is said to be “not quite six figures” at the time of publication, mini LED televisions are unlikely to be an option for most buyers in this generation either.

And there is also something new in terms of “laser TV” – commonly referred to as a beamer. Together with Hisense, Leica introduced the “Leica Cine 1”. A projector with a fixed screen diagonal and many smart TV functions. You can see exactly which ones in our video from the IFA.
