LG's 84-inch Ultra HD TV Hits the UK Priced at £22,500
TV boasts four times the resolution of standard full HD displays.
Back in October, we went eyes-on with LG's 84-inch Ultra HD Cinema 3D Smart TV, which boasts a rather impressive resolution of 3840 x 2160 (that's four times greater than standard full HD displays). This week, LG has announced that the television set is now available in the United Kingdom.
Of course, a TV like this doesn't come cheap. The TV went on sale a few weeks ago in the United States with a eye-popping $20,000 price tag. Unfortunately, though consumers in the UK are used to getting the short end of the stick when it comes to price conversion, LG really hasn't done UK shoppers any favors. According to TechRadar, the TV will retail for £22,500. In case you were wondering, that translates to just over $36,000. I know.
That said, if you do happen to have a spare $22,500 lying around, from what we saw, the display was exceptionally vivid, minor details were enhanced, and the scale was simply immersing. From the demo material, colors popped, perhaps boosted by LG's Triple XD Engine Dynamic Color Enhancer. Other features include a Resolution Upscaler, which enhances lower resolution content (basically everything available right now) as well as the increasingly common TruMotion 240Hz technology.
While we weren't personally able to view the sets in 3D, the TV features LG's Cinema 3D technology and includes six pairs of 3D glasses. LG's Cinema 3D includes a Depth Controller, 3D Sound Zooming, and 2D to 3D Conversion. At such a high resolution, though, we found the clarity itself to be immersive enough without the need for 3D.
So, who wants to amend their letter to the man in the big red suit?

Little typo there, should be £ not $. Anyways, I haven't seen any 4k TV's but if anyone has, does it make very large TV's like this 'ok' to watch and not stretched like 1080p?
140cm is about the largest TV for home, anything else is for cinemas xD
You would be wasting your money like said, might as well wait till the price drops.
EVen at that size (84 inches) you have to sit 1.65 meters from it to not lose the full 4k-experience (longer away and the pixels will blend into each other). So, for the normal 3 meters tv-vewing distance it is way to small!
The benefit is that you now will be able to watch 1080 at about 3 meters distance (or thereabout, think it was even 3.5 meters), wtihout losing any visual acuity. As it is now a 42 inch 1080p tv have same same pixel density as a 84 inch 4k tv and to fully get the benfit of 1080p you have to sit at 1.65 meters for a 42 incher (which you can enjoy normally with a 84 incher).
Problem is, that there is still a lot of lowres sd-content out there. Terestrial channels, cable, websteraming and so on will look just terrible on such a big screen.
Exactly!
It is just that 720p really is the standard for high def tv program content.
This may push 1080p to become standard, since it will finally be possible to watch it without losing visual acuity at 3-3.5 meters distance when using a 84 inch monitor.
8 K would be totally useless if you don't have 200 inch monitors or sit with your nose right in front of the screen for a 84 incher.
1.65 meters is the ideal viewing distance for 4k at 84 inch screenssizes now.
So don't wait 8K ;-)
Allso 8K is more usefull in 100" and bigger screens, so they will newer be cheap... well maybe someday, but it takes time to see 8K 32" screen...
When 2160 res videos start coming out, similar TVs should also cost 1/10th as much.
Make sure to get an OC'ed 7970 with 6 GB of VRAM if you're going to use that TV as a monitor.
