Who needs 84 inches when you can have 103!
While television titans Sony and LG have been busy launching their own 84-inch 4K HDTVs, Panasonic unveiled its own monstrosity at this year's IFA in Berlin, Germany. Measuring in at a massive 103-inches, the plasma HDTV claims to be the world's largest glasses-free 3D display. Along with most of the other new displays on the IFA floor, this display features a 4K (3840 x 2160) resolution.
Unlike LG's 84-inch display that can be purchased for $22,000, the Panasonic one is still in its prototype stages with no information on a potential release date or price range. Which isn't too bad, considering the price tag certainly won't be wallet friendly by any means. Luckily for those of us with smaller display needs and smaller wallets, Panasonic also has several 20-inch 4K displays in its IFA showroom.
On the other hand, for anybody who thinks 103" of ultra-definition viewing isn't enough, Panasonic also has a demonstration of its 145-inch 8K "Super Hi-Vision" TV. With a massive resolution of 7,680 x 4,320, the TV features an image quality that trumps regular HD 16 times. As beautiful as all of these new 4K displays may be, sadly, it will still be quite some time before they reach more affordable prices.
Lol math fail... (3840 x 2160)/(1920 x 1080) = 4
There are exactly 4x the pixels of 1080p.
But the 4K refers to the horizontal resolution of the screen, so you're right too in a way.
