CES 2012: LG Looks To Bring In A Big Screen With Bigger Resolution [LG's Newest Television Looks To Offer 4K Resolution At A Screen Size You Don't Usually See]

Considering that LG was already looking to bring out what was being described as the world’s largest OLED television at the 2012 CES event already, they already had my interest and then some. But when word came down today about what else they were looking to bring in–specifically, a thoroughly massive television with even bigger resolution–any doubt I may have had about LG just left town.

I know, most of us–especially home theater buffs like myself–were all pretty interested in LG’s attempt to bring out the OLED television, as it represented some pretty substantial improvements in the technology as we knew it, but LG isn’t resting on its laurels by bringing out just one mere technological marvel. No, they’ve got something almost as good planned in the form of an 84 inch television that will be showing at 4K resolution.

If this seems a bit familiar to you, it should, as LG actually showed off something similar to this at last year’s CES event, but this time, there are some serious modifications going on. Not only are you getting the impressively massive 84 inch LCD screen showing at 3840 x 2160, but you’ll now get the Smart TV system, as well as fully 1200 apps contained within giving you a whole lot more functionality in your television viewing. Even better, word is that they’ve also installed a new ultra-thin bezel around the edge, getting us closer to the time when television will look more like a big floating portal into another dimension and less like an appliance. It will even, according to reports, offer up a 2D to 3D conversion system to accommodate the lack of 3D material out there.

Naturally, there’s no word as yet on pricing, release dates, or anything that will let you know where, when and for how much you can lay hands on one of these impressive juggernauts of home entertainment yourself, but chances are we’ll hear more out of this one at the CES event in just a matter of days now.

But what do you guys think? Would you be interested in picking up one of these, even at the no doubt massive price tag you’ll have to pay to lay hands on it? Or will you be willing to settle for merely1080p resolution on several televisions that are already dropping in price?
