If you have to choose between the two, you can't afford it.

$120k for a TV? Does it include free shipping?

Not that I can afford anything like this, but I am surprised that the high end UHD TV sets are capping out at under 110". I mean, the image on that would be 'only' 7.6'x4'. You would think that someone would make a 140" screen that would have a 10x6' display for that projector-like experience without all of the lighting and contrast issues of a projector. I mean these people have money... and you only have to sell a few to make it worth your while.

Personally I am waiting for a 40" UHD TV that can double as a decent computer monitor for under $1K, and a UHD projector for under $2K... it may take a while.

A friend of mine ise is building a huge multi-million dollar home and putting in a home theater with a 120" 4K/3D projector screen setup. The complete finished cost, including stadium seats, ambient lights, decorations, and sound system is ~$80k. Even he's not stupid enough to waste $120k on an HDTV alone.

the clarity and color of a lcd tv exceeds even the best projectors. So for the super rich they can now have a better than movie theater experience with something like this.

Aren't movie theaters projected in 4k? I'm sure you could get an actual movie theater setup/experience for far far less with more visual space. At 120k id expect something more Imax like.

Clearly, this is a tv for the person that already has the Porsche and the mansion, and an extra $120k that they cannot get to fit in their safe or under the mattress. Or the meth dealer that stores pallets of cash in a storage facility. Maybe it should be called the Samsung Heisenburg UHD TV.

Since when can $120k buy you a house?
At least not in Perth.
Try $500k for a unit in the suburbs.

Exactly!! Why do companies keep making these ridiculous useless TVs? Why do we spend so much Energy and resources for trash? For that kind of Money you can build all that and have a guy make popcorn for you when you watch movies...

OK, we get it, you can build a big screen! It's been going on for ages... With every new screen technology, someone has to build a huge one that ends up just being a huge ad in some big electronic store... It's useless and will offer marginally better picture than something that costs less than 1/10 of its price. Not to mention that it needs a moving crew every time you might want to change its position...

Suddenly the UN60F8500 seems so much more within reach.

Even if I could afford this, I'd still opt for a flagship 1080p plasma

That Porsche pictured isn't worth $120K, it's about $50K. For $120K you can get a 911 Turbo, which is better than a TV in every imaginable way. Chasing women? it will help you there if that's your thing. Want 11 second 1/4 miles while hugging every turn you take, this is it. You will forget about watching TV or owning a house when you get out and drive a 911 Turbo.

You haven't priced new Porsches in quite some time, have you? Look up the just the base cost of a 2014 911 Carrera S cabriolet with PDK and a 2014 911 Turbo coupe (even the non-S version which is about $40k more than a "standard" Turbo).

You have to get a section 8 house if you want that price in Denver. And you will most certainly be robbed and/or raped every single day of your life there.
