The prototype display has a massive 82” size and features a resolution of 3820×2160 pixels, which results in a total screen resolution of 8.3 megapixels. Current 1080p TVs run at 1920×1080 pixels or 2.1 megapixels. According to the manufacturer, the TV integrates a red/green/blue LED backlight, which raises the color saturation to 150%. The image refresh rate is 120 Hz.

What makes this screen especially interesting is the fact that Sang Soo Kim, executive vice president of the LCD Technology Center at Samsung Electronics, called it the “optimal display for future TVs.” 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.

Samsung said that it will have a few other products to show at its SID show booth, including an 82” e-board with a “multi-touchscreen” that could replace whiteboards and beam projectors, the company believes, as well as its previously announced 15” blue-phase LCD and a foldable 2.3” e-paper display.

The article mentions that a similar resolution TV at 52″ runs about $40,000, so this TV isn’t meant for home use even for home theatre junkies. The other products they are demoing sound intriguing as well, such as the foldable display. It will be interesting to see what products make their way to the market in the coming years.
