LG Reveals an 84" Ultra Definition TV for CES 2012

It boasts four times the resolution of 1080p, it's 3D capable, and it's gigantic.

Take a look at your TV. If you're not in your living room or you're at work, just imagine it. You've probably got a set somewhere between 40" and 60" right? Now imagine what an 84" set would look like in your room. If it was just the size alone, LG's creation would still be worth talking about.

There's more to it than that though. This monster TV is capable of Ultra Definition - a pixel count of 3840x2160. It's LED backlit and also packs 3D video improvement features like depth control, and 3D Sound Zooming for better 3D audio immersion.

If that's not enough, the set also has connected TV features and can use any of the apps on LG's Smart TV ecosystem.

There's no launch date or price yet, but we're betting it's going to cost a pretty penny.

Samsung Creates a 70 Inch 3D Capable Ultra Definition Prototype

Oh that? It's just my 3,840 x 2,106 resolution UDTV. High definition is so 2005.

Your run of the mill 1080p set has a horizontal resolution of 1,920 pixels and a vertical resolution of 1080. Samsung's new set doubles each count for a total of four times the resolution of a 1080p television.

It's a prototype of course, but this 70 inch monster has us drooling, even if there's nothing to actually watch on it quite yet. It's big and beautiful and it's 3D capable to boot.

Samsung boasts that the prototype set uses a new super-high-speed silicon that enables smooth pictures even with the increased resolution. There's no word yet on when something like this will hit retail, but you can bet we'll be right on top the news when it does.
