Samsung's
stream of
82-inch monsters packing the company's latest technology continues unabated, this time a minor update to the
QuadHD behemoth we saw at CES brings so-outdated 120Hz motion processing and LED backlighting to keep blur and judder far, far away. We know what you're thinking, its 3840x2160 resolution is no good unless you can write on it, luckily Samsung also has an 82-inch ultra high definition e-Board in its
SID 2008 booth. OLED fans take heart, Samsung has reached economies of scale, hopefully meaning
reasonably priced (and
longer lasting) thin screens are due sooner instead of later. The
Korea Times notes LG's at the show as well, showcasing LCD roll-printing technology to replace the photolithography process that currently births the flat panels on our walls, but we simply can't be bothered with a company that's only the number two LCD manufacturer in the world.

82 inches and vibrates at 120hz, that's what she said.
Everytime there's a woman in the picture, someone makes this kind of joke. I'm part of the "kids who shouldn't be playing M games but are" and I'm still more mature than you guys. Is this what anonymity does to you?
but there's a woman in the picture...how could you NOT make this kind of joke is the question you should be asking yourself.
pfff... maturity is for 13 year olds!
...Turn 30, get married, have a kid... you'll understand!
Hahahaha laughed my ass off!
I'm 82 iches come stand next to me.
Inches*
well that "joke" backfired on you
I'd let her sit next to my 82-inch monster. Or on it, rather. Thanks for all of the Korean model pics to go along with these stories, Engadget.
Just saw the author name. Richard LAWLER. :D Seriously dude?
seriously, I guess?
What?
urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=lawl
Never seen that surname before? What about Jerry 'The King' Lawler? (And no I don't like WWE)
If you can afford the monitor you can probably afford to pay her to come stand by it whenever you want...
Hmmm, after this, my 1080 TV is low quality! Companies, easy with the tech explosions and fast evolution.
Their only motivation is to get you to part with more of your hard earned dollars.... er, dirham. Now you must upgrade. :D
1080p what??? :P
That's way to many
That's like 4k cinema resolution?
I wonder if any current graphics card can output to that resolution.... I'd love too see this TV in person.
Nope, not even with dual-link DVI. It might be theoretically possible if you used two DVI ports, configured dual monitors on the computer, and the screen combined the images together into a seamless display.
More likely, they'll just introduce yet another connection standard to confuse/fleece customers. That is, if and when 4k comes around. Remember, even HD is still in its early days.
4k came around a long time ago. Dual channel HD-SDI is the connection that is used for it.
IBM's T221 monitor has been doing higher resolutions since 2001 (in only 22" too), and is comfortably driven by modern dual-port dual-link cards. Looks completely awesome too.

At what point will any increase in screen resolution have zero value as it'd be limited by the 'resolution' of my eyes/brain?
imagine blu-ray porn on that bad boy
Imagine the herpes on said Blu-ray porm
*Porn.
Damn it
Somebody should make speakers that look like Asian girls
SD video would look terrible. And HD video would look like SD video... Wow.
sd would look the same...
No it wouldn't. 640X480 stretched over 3840x2160 would look bad. thats something like 4.5 pixels for every one. It wouldn't look too good.
You just have to stand waaaaay back.
@ andrew
if you sit back far enough to make the difference then having an 82" set is pointless, since it looks like a 32" set anyways.. depending on how far back it takes to get a good picture.
still.. i wonder how awesome (or not awesome) my PS3/360 wold look on this baby.
If you did a bicubic resampling of the SD data, it would look fine. That's why upconverting DVD players are giving Blu Ray players a run for their money so far.
It's nearest-neighbor and bilinear resampling devices that look horrible, and that you are probably used to.
it would look the same because it doesnt matter what the res is on the tv, the pixels would be the same size on this tv or on a regular 1080 tv
Bah, 3840 x 2160
That's exactly double the height of my current monitor setup (3840 x 1280)
Just get another row of 3 monitors and I already have it
1280 * 2 = 2560
well it's not exactly double the height of your set; its double the height (in terms of vertical pixel count) of a 1080 by 1920 set, but somewhat less than double that of yours. is the set up you have now between 2 or 3 monitors? thanks
Oh yeah... *my pixels are bigger than your pixels* (4224x1200) :P
...I do enjoy watching an anamorphic movie across all 3 monitors! but the downside is the black frames between the monitors.
asian hottie sold seperately
really? That's a big turn-off
It won't be so hot when she's shitting all over you.
He said Asian hottie, not German hottie...
@engadgetluvsappl
i beg to differ
Japan is working on making quad def standard by 2015, problem is you really only notice it at like 60 inches and in tests viewers got sick watching it. Of course this is the same country that got sick watching Babel.

When I bought my 40" Bravia I thought it was huge. Now... not so much.
How about releasing a low cost 32 LCD HDTV for less than $400? is that too much to ask. What am I going to do with an 82 inch HDTV?
Stare at it all googly eyed and drool.
You watch it!!!
How are we gonna stream media for something this huge?
I don't know about right now but I've heard most HD TV is only 720. We would all have to have I don't know 50 mbit internet to stream content for the quad HD
This is why need the spurs engine.
If you were packin 82 inces of vibrating meat, you don't go around announcing it. I've seen what happens when a person does.
I just gotta say that i can fit almost NINE of my TV's in here; that's impressive (even without the other features)...
and what about the price? i've to mortgage one of my kidney? maybe both?
"but we simply can't be bothered with a company that's only the number two LCD manufacturer in the world."
So who's the #1 LCD Manufacture?
samsung.
I'm stoked they are starting to make 80"plus main stream. There will always be some quiche eating, sandle wearing, pufters who will say that is too big, or you'll have to sit too far back but that size is great for 12' viewing distance in my opinion. Most of my friends who have 65" screens are waiting for 80" to become a standard before replacing their current TVs. The standards by some less trustyworthy sources is often wrong. A screen is small enough or too small when you can see both sides of the picture without moving your eyes.
I'm hoping Pioneer makes a 9G or 10G that is 80" or larger in extra high def.
Still smaller and more expensive than a good projector and screen.
all projectors ive seen on tv in a home, seem to be poor quality. also, dont you need to have ambient ligjting for projectors to work properly?
Hot girl.
Why are all the Korean Electronics companies put chicks beside their products every single time? Makes me want to look at the girl, not the product.
the intention is that you look at the girl and the telly , and the girl with telly , and you become confused. you have feeling of lust or love for the girl but you also see the telly. the feelings transfer over to the tele. one day uou are walking down a street and you see the telly through the window . you having feelings of love for the tele. you buy the tele and take it home.
It also gets you thinking, if you buy the televisions, I might get the woman!
Damn it. My 20-inch 720p TV is lookin' crappier by the minute.
Interesting that the picture on the TV is of the Rainbow Bridge in Tokyo..
at last i can finally watch my childs birthday video, includoing the terrible camera work, moments when it was pointing the gorund for 10 minutes because i thought it was off, and kids i dont even know running around squeeling, that i recorded on my Red camcorder, and all at a cost that i dont care about because ive never had to work befoe in my life, ... *ahh* i love being an orange county housewife......
but seriously this is kinda cool if you had the right equipment, like a digital cinema server, instead of feeding to a projector, hooked to your tv!!!
some day well look back at moiments liek these when these kinds of things were "BREAKTHROUGH"
Why not just make 10'x20' video walls and be done with it. If you can afford a 82" QuadHD LCD you can proabably afford a full on video wall.
For normal viewing a TV is too big if you have to move your eyes around to see what is going on. In a normal living room this happens at 50". Usually a 50" LCD set is uncomfortable to look at from 6' away because you get eye fatugue very easily form the brightness.
My guess is that your head is only 4" wide or that you think a normal living room is the recreation area of a trailer home. In which case spending money on a full sized screen is a waste as God will take your home away as soon as his roving tornado scrubbers locate your park.
Don't know which one i'd get first; the girl or the TV?
