LG will be showing an 84-inch 3-D LCD TV at the Society for Information Display 2010 conference in Seattle, WA this week. The 84-inch 3-D LCD TV does not come in at a standard resolution of 1920×1080. Instead the 3-D TV has a resolution that is 3840 x 2160, which is ultra high definition (UHD).
However, there are three problems that I can see with this screen already. The first problem is that it is likely to be expensive. The second problem is that while it is nice to have such a large 3-D screen, you still need something to drive the screen. There are no 3-D Blu-Ray players that can output at that resolution. Finally, you need content to put on the screen. There is only one 3-D Blu-Ray title that is out right now, and it is not in 3840 x 2160 format.
LG will show several more interesting displays at the SID 2010. LG Display will present its advanced technologies including the 10.1-inch curved LCD with slim glass; the world’s thinnest TV panel which measures just 2.6mm in thickness; a 15.6-inch notebook LCD product that realizes the world’s lowest power consumption levels; a 9.7-inch color e-paper display scheduled to begin mass production within the year; and a 19-inch flexible e-paper.
