Samsung on Monday announced it will unveil an 85-inch Ultra High-Definition LED TV at this year’s CES, joining competitors like Sony, Toshiba, and LG that have already announced similarly-sized 4K displays. The company is branding the display as “the world’s largest commercialized UHD LED TV,” with more than eight million pixels and “life-like picture quality.”
Samsung to unveil 85-inch Ultra HD TV at CES, catching up with Sony, Toshiba, and LG
Samsung didn’t offer many specifics on the forthcoming TV, though it will mark the company’s first, and somewhat delayed foray into the growing 85-inch 4K market. Today’s announcement comes more than two months after LG announced its own 84-inch 4K 3D display, which went on sale in the US in October for just under $20,000. Both Sony and Toshiba have announced their own 84-inch 4K models, as well.
Samsung hasn’t mentioned a price range or target release date, though given the company’s recent history, it may be a while before it’s available for consumers; after debuting at CES 2012, Samsung’s 55-inch Super OLED display still has yet to hit the market.
