Samsung Goes Ultra-Def with 82-inch LCD
Samsung demonstrated an 82-inch LCD with resolution of 3840 x 2160 at this week's SID conference.
May 21, 2008 | by Arlen Schweiger

Not impressed by high-definition? Perhaps you need to try ultra-definition.

That’s what Samsung showed this week, in a big way too—an 82-inch LCD featuring ultra-def—at the Society for Information Display (SID) International Symposium, Seminar and Exhibition this week.

Forget about 1920 x 1080, this whopper of a TV features 3840 x 2160 pixels. For that added smoothness, it even has 120 Hz refresh that can be found on some of today’s 1080p sets.

If color’s more your thing, this set won’t disappoint (really, how could it at 82 diagonal inches). An RGB LED backlighting increases color saturation to 150 percent, based on the NISC standard of 100 percent, Samsung says.

We’re not going to guess-timate on the pricing of this baby, but close to six figures is probably a good start. Westinghouse has demo’d a $50,000 ultra-def 2160 model, and that was only 52 inches. We’ll be waiting on the edge of our seats.

very cool and BIG display screen.
6 figures?  I guess some of us will have to wait until the bioluminescence comes along.

the last I heard they were able to already make display screens from synthetic chemicals similar to the glowing chemicals in fireflies. The chemicals weren’t lasting very long (half hour) before degrading, but they were working on preserving them better.

I also heard some others are working on printed screens ..where the 3 or 4 panels of the display screen will actually be printed out o nthin sheets of plastic. the copper printed circuitry etc. Those were very similar to plasma screens though , because they painted a layer of the fuorescent on one side of the plastic and made a grid impression to make it into tiny micro-squares. then they samwhiched it between the circuitry layers and the electricity jumped through luminating the fluorescents.

Interesting technology ..is that Samsung similar to technology in smaller LCDs?

Wonderful. I wonder if it looks fine with up-sampled blu-ray, or will we have to wait for the battle between ultra-blu-ray+ and mega-super HD-DVD.

Catalog film titles are going to be a challenge. How many were shot on 70mm anyway...?
