Stop trying to type faster, watch TV for hours, or organize the largest water balloon fight: there's now another way to get a Guinness world record holder in your home, as LG has just announced it is going to begin mass producing its record-setting 100-inch LCD. The 6-million pixel 1,920 x 1,080 display won't come cheap though -- while a final price has not been decided, the manufacturing costs alone are expected to be over $150,000 US. But anyway, how can we be satisfied with a 100-inch LCD HDTV featuring a 3,000:1 contrast ratio, 92% color gamut and 5ms refresh time when we know Mark Cuban is just going to come over and start bragging about his $70,000 103-inch 1080p plasma from Panasonic? While sneaking in and watching Oxygen Network until the logo burns in on his precious plasma would be nice, we'll probably just wait for the first price drop and save everyone some pain and suffering.
Wow... imagine playing PC games on that beast.
With LCD prices following as fast as they are, I could afford one of these in 2068.
I love the TV, but since when does 1080 resolution equate to 6 Million pixels? 1,920 x 1,080 = 2,073,600
Each pixel is really made up of three(red,green,blue) smaller "sub-pixels" so multiply by 3 for 6 million. Underhanded, I know, but technically not lying.
Duh! 2,073,600 x Red, Green and Blue = $Texas, the math is simple really.
They couldn't get a hotter booth babe? All they could afford was Sister Furong?
Why don't they simply use a panel with the same dpi as the dell monitors or a 30 inch cinema display and call it the biggest AND the highest resolution.
Not that any single computer on this earth could push that many pixels, NEC Earth Simulator excepted.
*Drooling*
If I had one, I'd never leave the house.
They're probably already on eBay. "The unit is in the eBay bonded warehouse. You will soon receive instructions on how to send your payment by Western Union to the eBay escrow agent in Lithuania."
I for all welcome giant raccoon invader overlords
I am very interested to have one, when can I bye it?
