Since we have been going on and on about TV shows today, we thought we would post something up for you to actually watch the TV shows on… Samsung is unveiling the ultimate TV to watch the Galactica jump into Hyperspace. So, spool up your FTL drive and check this bad boy out.
Samsung will showcase the first 82-inch LCD TV panel with an ultra-definition (UD) resolution at a 120Hz refresh rate. UD is 3,840 x 2,160 pixels which is significantly higher then 1080p. The UD resolution is at 120 frames per second in an attempt to minimize the blurring that is sometimes experienced at 60Hz. A red/green/blue LED back light has been added to raise true color saturation to 150 percent, which is based on the [ NISC ] standard of 100 percent.
“This 82-inch LCD is large enough to cover all viewing angles with ultra-definition resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate that will allow viewers to watch motion pictures as if they are really in them,” said Sang Soo Kim, executive vice president of the LCD Technology Center at Samsung Electronics. “It is the optimal display for future TVs
Samsung is also looking out for our educational folks with “e-board” a multi-touch screen, which is destined to replace whiteboards and beam projectors. It reverts back to a 60Hz LCD panel with built-in UD resolution and is , to date, the largest panel of its kind with a multi-touch screen. Granted your local public elementary school will not likely see one of these installed any time soon, I am in process of trying to convince my boss that is the perfect addition to my office.
No luck yet.
