Samsung is showing off the world's largest LCD TV, an 82-inch behemoth that currently ranks as the world's largest
(and totally blows away the previous title holder, a 65-inch
LCD TV from Sharp), at least until LG or whoever decides to spend a few hundred million in R&D to top them with
an 85-inch or 100-inch LCD TV. Won't go into production for another 18 months, which is probably for the best
since you're going to probably need at least a year and half of scrimping and saving to even have a shot at
affording this bad boy.
[Thanks, alf]
Can't they think of anything better to show off then, ah, giant salad?
Yeah like the girl on the right of the screen in a... bikini? String bikini!
Any idea what the resolution on that thing is?

4 x 7.5 cucumber slices
I think the screen is big enough for both of them in bikinis ;-)
Notice that the sign actually says 'World's Largest 82" TFT-LCD Panel' - take the same panel and put it in a larger bezel and you'd have a larger 82" wouldn't you? ;>
"Any idea what the resolution on that thing is?"
#4's answer is funnier than mine will be, but considering their 46" LCD model is 1920x1080 and 1080p-capable, it would kind of shock me if the 82" flagship is any lower-spec'd than that.

Resolution 1,920 x RGB x 1,080 (Full HD)
Pixels 6.22 million (number of RGB sub-pixels)
Contrast Ratio 1,200:1
It is actually cut from a larger 97" panel which will probably be shown when someone tops this model.

I like how they're calling it the World's Largest 82" TFT-LCD. Isn't that implied if it's the only 82" TFT-LCD? Also, I don't want the largest, I want the thinnest ;)
Ugh. The picture is probably absolutely wretched... have you guys ever seen what a larger flat panel LCD looks like? *shudder*
You probably have to be like 20ft away to view it right?
"Ugh. The picture is probably absolutely wretched... have you guys ever seen what a larger flat panel LCD looks like?"
Yeah, because native 1080p on a big-ass screen with a 1200:1 contrast ratio just looks sooooooo bad.
the girl on the right is hoooooot

Obviously you've never seen a 40+ inch LCD panel. They look terrible (blocky, poor refreshes, etc). I'm not making this up... go check one out sometime for yourself.
or u could just buy a projector.
Why is this in portable audio? That thing doesn't QUITE look portable to me.
I've seen this panel in action at a recent show in Boston... It is absolutely AMAZING! It stood side by side with the 102" Plasma Screen and the picture on this was significantly better than the plasma.
how much is that badboy
the ''samsung'' the best of the best -keep on going!!!
