TCL Will Create First Roku-Licensed 8K TV, Coming This Year
Roku and TCL announced that TCL will create the first 8K Roku television, which will go on sale sometime later this year. Roku is creating an 8K hardware reference design, which TCL will be the first to use. The companies didn't offer details on screen size or price.
Roku also announced it's expanding its 4K and HDR reference design by adding far-field microphones for voice input. Roku first created its TV licensing program in 2014. TCL is now the second largest maker of connected TVs in the U.S., notes Chris Larson, TCL's senior vice president.
“Together TCL and Roku have delivered millions of smart TVs to consumers across North America that they love to use,查斯·史密斯说, general manager for Roku TV and Players. “In designing and delivering 8K TCL Roku TVs we will reach new heights by offering beautiful picture quality combined with America’s number one TV streaming platform.”
In related news, five display companies announced the formation of the 8 k协会, with the goal of promoting 8K TVs and content, as well as helping educate consumers about 8K offerings. Its founding companies are AU Optronics, Hisense, Panasonic, Samsung Electronics, and TCL.
“The newly founded 8 k协会 will help drive the introduction of 8K technology in the North American and world market,拉尔森指出.
