Samsung has unveiled the industry's first 82” QuadHD LCD TV that offers four times the resolution of today’s 1080p high definition TVs.
The 82” prototype has an ultra-definition (3,840 by 2,160 pixels) resolution at a 120Hz refresh rate. A red/green/blue LED backlight has been added to raise true color saturation to 150%, based on the NISC standard of 100 percent.
Quad HDTVs have been available before, but were exclusively marketed to markets that have a need for high resolution image display – such as the oil and gas industries. For example, Westinghouse has been offering 2160p TVs with sizes up to 52”. The Westinghouse Quad HDTV is not sold on the open market, but costs around $40,000 currently.
There is no information available about the price of Samsung's 82" QuadHD TV.
