After announcing that they’ll be showing off a 55-inch OLED TV at CES in Las Vegas next week, LG has described another huge screen in store for the trade show: an 84-inch 3D LCD TV. It’s not just huge and it won’t just give you 3D goodness (via passive Cinema 3D glasses) – this thing is crisp, thanks to a 3840 x 2160 resolution that packs in four times the pixels of your usual 1080p HDTV.
LG revealed their plans for a TV accessory that supports Wii-like gestures. Called the Magic Motion Remote, the device looks like a simplified TV remote that comes with a Spartan amount of buttons to keep things simple, coming with a simple 5-way d-pad and your basic volume, channel and power buttons.
Sharp has introduced the Aquos Quattron LC-80LE632U, a huge 80-inch TV that’s being tagged as the ‘largest commercially-available LED TV’, which would be perfect for fitting into ‘the world’s emptiest living room wall.’ The TV sports an LED-lit, 1080p LCD TV panel and Wi-fi connectivity, giving you access to Netflix, CinemaNow and Vudu straight out of the predictably huge box it ships in.
Mitsubishi has unveiled an LCD TV that also comes with an integrated Blu-ray player and 500GB hard drive. It’s only a 22-incher, mind you, but the all-in-one kit was designed to save on space, with the drives integrated into the TV’s base. It’s probably not the most handy way to go if ever one of the components somehow burns out, but with the convenience of not having to screw around with power cables and connection cables, an all-in-one home entertainment system is the way to go if you’re in it for a quick and easy setup. It’s also a practical choice if you live in Japan where this TV is being sold, and where living space is often an issue.
A 24-inch 3D TV for the PS3? That’s a lot of seemingly random numbers, but that’s exactly what Sony pulled out during their keynote presentation at E3. The new TV is specifically designed to be used with the PS3, giving players an affordable 3D-capable display that comes bundled with a pair of active shutter 3D glasses.
