LG Unveils 88-inch 8K TV That Doubles as a Giant Speaker (tomsguide.com)

Last year LG Display unveiled a rollable OLED TV prototype, which is reportedly becoming a real retail product in 2019. This year they're at it again with a giant 8K OLED set that doubles as a speaker and a weird flower sculpture made entirely of the flexible OLED panels. From a report: As TV's get thinner, it's getting harder and harder to produce audio that isn't thin. Enter LG Display's 88-inch Crystal Sound OLED set. It has a 3..2.2 sound system embedded directly into the display. The sounds emanate from the panel itself. And, thanks to Dolby Atmos support, LG Display says that viewers will be able to hear dynamic sound come from their top, bottom, left and right. Sony introduced similar technology on its A8F OLED TV, but that was a 4K set.

Re:3..2.2?

It's actually a Dolby ATMOS numbering system. The front 3 (3) are left/center/right. The next 2 are the subwoofer channels. The last 2 are overhead/ATMOS channels. So a 3 around/2 sub/2 elevation speaker setup would be 3.2.2. If you pair it with a few surrounds for the rear, you'd have a 5.2.2 system.
