Sony Corp. has announced that it will begin the phased launch of its latest Bravia LCD television in all global regions from the end of the year. The new Bravia boasts a 84" LCD panel with 4K (3840*2160) resolution. The TV incorporates Sony's “4K X-Reality Pro” super-resolution high picture quality engine. Sony follows LG Electronics with its 4K ultra high-definition TV-set (UHDTV) and both are driving the new level of visual perfection to the masses.
The new 84” Bravia 4K LCD TV comes equipped with a panel comprising approximately 8.29 megapixels (52 ppi), which is 4 times the resolution of Full HD standard, and incorporates special 4K X-Reality Pro video processor optimized for 4K TV. This engine is capable of upconverting a variety of content (including that in stereo-3D) with different resolutions, such as HD digital broadcasts or Blu-ray discs content, into crisp, high-quality images with 4K resolution. The UDHTV also comes with "10 unit live speaker" 50W side speaker system, with Sony's own signal-processing technology to provide accurate three-dimensional sound.

The screen resolution gives you the aspect ratio.
A 37” can’t give you a headache. I have a 52” and I like to sit real close.
Now if 4k is out of the budget and you want a BIGGER screen Sharp sells a 90" model (Sharp LC-90LE745U) for $10,000 give or take a few bucks here and there.
We’ve had this for over 2 years. No problems. We sit about 8’ away.
“Frank’s 2000” TV”
Risin’ above the city, blocking out the noonday sun
It dwarfs the mighty redwoods and it towers over everyone
I still remember when that delivery truck came down our block
What a lucky guy, I hear he got the last one in stock
And the neighbors are just green
They say, “That’s the biggest screen we’ve ever seen!”
It’s Frank’s 2000” TV (Frank’s 2000” TV)
Everbody come and see(Frank’s 2000” TV)
Frank’s 2000” TV (Frank’s 2000” TV)
That’s Frank’s remote control, you can look, but don’t touch it, please
‘Cause Frank’s the one in charge and he decides what everybody sees
The picture’s crystal clear and everything is magnified
Robert DeNiro’s mole has got to be ten feet wide
Everybody in the town
Can hear those 90,000 watts of Dolby sound
And I’m mighty proud to say
Now I can watch “The Simpsons” from thirty blocks away
On Frank’s 2000” TV (Frank’s 2000” TV)
Everybody come and see (Frank’s 2000” TV)

I’m gonna get one of my own real soon
It’s like having a drive-in movie in your own living room
Whoa, hey now... hey now na na na now
Hey now... hey now na na now

when my wife and I got married, we had a 27” tube TV that weighed about 150lbs. then we got a 52” and she kept saying it was “too big” and she never “noticed a difference”. Then the 52” broke and she had to deal with the 27” and she complained. Then we went shopping and she was looking at the 60” models and when we settled for 58” (due to room size), she complained that it might not be big enough.
The next one will probably be in the 80” category..
My wife wants a new car but she may just have to wait.
Just kidding dear.
Maybe….
84 inches would be nice in my living room, but I have a 106 inch projection system in my home theater (dedicated room) and it isn’t quite big enough.
Not that I’m complaining....
The bigger the better, as long as the picture quality is there.
Cheers,
Jim
Now I have to change my underwear.
LOL. We have several TVs, one is HD. Sometimes my wife will go to the den and flip to the channel number she knows... in 4:3 format, refusing to add 500 to the channel number to get the wide-screen version. She says it doesn’t make any real difference to her. I give up.
I have a 42 Vizo & that’s enough for me. Lol, I don’t have enough wall space for an 84.
That’s a big un, $4000 is a lot, but it shows how much the price of these screens has fallen per sq inch.
It's worse than that.....you also have to take the "aspect ratio" into account. Using the diagonal only made sense as long as all TV's had the same aspect ratio.
I wish TV (and monitor) vendors would come into the 21st century and drop the danged diagonal measurement and state the spec as LXWXH. Or at least include that info as well as the diagonal.
You can find what you want to watch on the internet.
When anyone ever asks me my advice on TV's, I always tell them that whatever they decide to buy, go with a bigger one........
They usually follow my advice and never regret it........
In my office, I could imagine it.
I agree...... I have a custom made cabinet in my den and I'm constantly checking out new TV's for it while forgetting that it will only accomodate a maximum Height and Width dimensions regardless of screen size.......
Oooooohhhhhhh nooooooo. Who would have believed all of this?
