84-inch Ultra Definition TVs on Their Way to Korean Homes

Earlier this year at CES, LG showcased their 84-inch ultra definition HDTV and there were reports that it would be released this summer. I was skeptical with the speculations on when they would produce it for consumers, knowing that their google TV and OLED TV are also slated to be out this year. The announcement they made last week was a surprise for me.

 It was announced that they would be taking pre-orders (only in South Korea for the meantime) for 84 units of the 84LM9600,  priced at around 25 million Korean Won or around $22,000 each. Exclusivity comes with a very steep price! The TV is said to display a picture resolution of 3,840 x 2,160 UHDTV. 3D contents would still be displayed with 1080p resolution using passive technology. Of course it would still be equipped with Smart TV technology. It was also reported that those who would pre-order would  receive free 3D glasses and camcorders.

I've seen pictures of the TV like the one I posted above and I find myself imagining how immersive the viewing experience will be.

Should someone give you $50,000, will you spend a portion of it in buying this TV?
