With pixels the size of your face

actually, pixels are the same size as a 42" full hd

 

[idroid]

Hmmm... interesting device but it i think its a little bit useless given the fact that there a no 3840 x 2160 although i am pretty sure it will display 1080p content with an excellent quality

Wrong, this TV has four times the resolution in a screen with twice the size of a 42" TV, by simple math you can easily find out the size of the pixels....*cough* half the size of a full HD 42"*cough*

yeah, math so simple you blew it:try again till you get it right

(hint 2 x 2 =4)

I would like to have one of these in my apartment.

I would not mind having the two girls in my apartment either

What GPU setup would one need in order to play at 3840 x 2160 in 3D?

Are you seriously that dumb?? FOUR times the resolution on screen TWICE (it means two times bigger) as big as 42" (84") means that the pixels are HALF (two times smaller) than they would be on a 42" screen with FOUR times LESS resolution.

Any card with a 1.4 HDMI connector can output 4k 3D content...unless we're talking about gaming then about 2-3 GTX680/670/7970 (with 4G and 6GB of VRAM respectively) will be needed to play at that resolution.

 

[master_chen]

But can it run POOOOOOOOORN!!!...??

Actually your wrong.

L x H = A
2L x 2H = 4A

So if you double the diagonal distance (84''), you quadruple the pixels while still maintaining the sample pixel density (~55ppi) in a 42'' TV. This is because area is a square function, not a linear function like length and height.

 

[PTNLemay]

YES! Christ and all, finally. We see a TV moving beyond 2 million pixels. Now we just wait 5 more years for the trickle-down effect.

And standard 1080ps better start dropping in price too... They have no reason to stay above 1000$ anymore.

this = for the math challenged here, think of this 84" screen as made up of 4 (in a 2 x 2 array) 42" screens - exactly the same vertical and horizontal total resolution (1080+1080) X (1920+1920)

Actually, no. Because this is a quad-HD resolution, it should be just fine.

It would probably be pretty successful at < $5k.

Make that "3k in 8~11 years" and I'll agree with you.

 

[chazbeaver]

Ok, let's do the math to figure out the pixel density and settle this completely.

You can calculate pixels per square inch (PPI) by dividing the diagonal resolution by the diagonal size. For a 42" 1080p television, the diagonal resolution is 2203 pixels. 2203/42 = 52.5 PPI.

For this 84" television, the diagonal resolution is 4406 pixels. 4406/84 = 52.5 PPI. They both have the same pixel density.

This new 84" TV is basically 4 42" 1080p TVs put together. It's extending the size while keeping the same pixel density.

Woot! 2 years ago I said that somewhere around fall of 2013 we would see our first 2K and 4K TVs hitting the high end retail market, and that we would see them trickle down to the mainstream market in the next 5 years (5 years 2 years ago, so that makes 3 years from now).

And to think I got a -20 vote on that opinion back then

For my next prediction: extreme increases in flat panel monitor resolutions, with the end goal of 'retina display' densities affordable for high end users within 5 years, and considered normal within 10 years.

Thank you. I almost lost it having to read such ignorance in the other comments.

For anyone wondering, the formula for PPI is as follows: First we need the diagonal resolution in pixels so: diagonal resolution in pixels = the square root of the width resolution in pixels squared (3840) plus the height resolution in pixels squared (2160). This gets you 4405.81434 for the diagonal resolution in pixels. Now that we have the diagonal resolution we can take it (4405.81434) and divide it by the diagonal size in inches. Thus PPI = 4405.81434 divided by 84 which results in 52.45017072. PPI = 52.45017072. Which as mentioned before is about the same as a 42" 1080p screen.

Maths yo.

Wow, idroid is too much an idiot to be true, just can't be...right?

I know it is a silly comment but...

I take one if it comes with the girls

Naturally you can't complete an awesome home theater experience without rattling the windows with thundering audio. The new 84-inch mini-theater packs a 2.2 Speaker System consisting of two 10W speakers and two 15W woofers.

Oh wow! A whole total of 50 Watts at your disposal.

If you're going to buy something like this, odds are you're going to have the cash to buy a pretty darn good surround sound system.

Good for displaying digital photos right now, until movies get this kind of resolution

So...what has Regal been using for all these years?
