When Samsung announced that they were about to release what they labeled as ‘world’s largest consumer 3D TV,’ we couldn’t imagine anything more awesome than having a 75-inch 3D-capable HDTV sitting smack dab on a living room wall. Unless, of course, someone comes up with an even larger 3D-capable HDTV. Apparently, Samsung didn’t look around that much when they came up with the ‘world’s largest’ claim, because Bang & Olufsen’s 85-inch BeoVision 4-85 is about to start shipping. (Samsung apparently holds the title for ‘largest 3D LCD TV’ though, since this set rocks a plasma screen).
If you love your 3D video-watching lifestyle, you’ve got to appreciate the way 2011 is starting to look like. LG just gave a preview of what they plan to unveil at CES next month, and it’s going to be huge. Quite literally. So huge that it’s down for breaking at least one record for being the largest 3D-capable HDTV, going a full foot over the existing 60-inch size ceiling.
Anyone looking for a big 3D LCD TV to go with a spacious den or a similarly huge pair of 3D glasses? LG has introduced the Infinia 72LEX9 in South Korea, a new model that they’re claiming to be the world’s largest consumer 3D LCD TV. The 72 inches’ worth of flatscreen real estate features LG’s LED-backlit 480Hz TruMotion panel, Spot Control pixel dimming tech, and connectivity that lets it connect to the internet and to other DLNA appliances within the home network.
If you’ve got five grand to burn and a blank wall in your living room that can fit a big screen, here’s something you might like: Bose’s VideoWave system includes a 46-inch 1080p HDTV, 16 speakers with surround sound processing, HDMI, USB, a separate console for plugging your set-tops into without cluttering the space around the TV itself, a universal remote so your coffee table doesn’t get filled up with all your set top remotes, and an iPod dock for playing porting media from your iPhone or iPod to the TV or speakers.
Samsung’s first 3D-capable LED HDTV is now available on Amazon. Now, it’s not the much-hyped flagship LED9000 series, but the C7000 (the 55-inch UN55C7000, to be more specific) is by no means considered “low-end.” With an initial price of $3,299, it packs in serious high-def TV tech.
