[Mark LaFountain 16]

Just bumped into this on the net. Wow this thing is a monster.

Samsung 82-inch Ultra Definition LCD TV Panel | iTech News Net - Gadget News and Reviews

Samsung shows at the SID 2008 the industry’s first 82-inch LCD TVpanel that offers ultra-definition [uD] (3,840 x 2,160 pixels) resolution at a 120Hz refresh rate. Samsung has also added a red/green/blue LED backlight to increase the true color saturation to 150 percent.

Samsung also unveiled its 82-inch “e-board” with a multi-touch screen. The e-board also offers UD resolution but at 60Hz refresh rate. There is also a multi-view digital information display (DID) that can display 3G images without wearing special glasses.

NEC introduced an 82" LCD last summer, as well

Going to be years before these are affordable for home theater use, though. Commercial digital signage and videoconferencing...

Don't forget these, as well: http://www.pcrush.com/product/Plasma-Displays-and-TVs/278473/Panasonic-TH-103PF10-103-inch-1080p-1920-x-1080-5000-1-Plasma-Display?refid=1238

I wouldn't mind that if I could build one of those spheres to project it on, like some of those theaters are

Forget 3D, I'd pay to see movies in a dome

Indeed, 3D just seems like another gimmick no one will pay for. The new HDMI standard that goes with it is quite ridiculous as well.

99% of people wouldn't even value anything better than 1080p, other than for pissing contest reasons. After ~12' the human eye can't see the difference in 720 vs 1080 on a 60" screen. I'm not sure on those details, as it may be a bit more or less in distance. However, unless you have HUGE displays like in a PJ or sit on top of it, it's a non issue.

Now I feel like I need more size than my 120 anamorphic. It's the largest I could fit in my room though without going into sonic transparent. I'm only ~15 away from that. Probably less.

The panasonic is just breathtaking for sure..... we can sell it, but are not allowed to install it... Its a crazy ass deal..... its panasonic white glove delivery and installation only for us dealers.

[JimJ 1]

All dealers, or just residential delivery?

Seems like a royal PITA...especially because I'd bet a lot of those go into places like SCIFs where access isn't necessarily easy for the primary contractor, nevermind subs.
