Sony unveiled its 4K HD Media Player back in January at CES, and stated it would be available this summer in a statement in April. Today the company further clarified this, revealing that the device will be available on retailer shelves later this month on July 15, with online ordering available now and shipments starting
A mere month after ASUS unveiled its 31.5-inch 4K monitor to the world, and the humbly-named PQ321 is already available for pre-order on Amazon, Newegg and TigerDirect. As a reminder, the Ultra HD display boasts a jaw-dropping 3840 x 2160-pixel 10-bit RGB (a billion colors) IGZO panel with LED backlight, 176-degree viewing angles, a maximum of 350 cd/m2 in brightness and 8ms GTG response time. Built-in stereo speakers sweeten the package, as does a 3.5mm audio jack, DisplayPort connectivity and dual HDMI inputs. Oh, and did we mention it’s also apparently the thinnest 4K monitor on the market at only 35mm thick? However, you’ll have to pay a pretty penny for all that awesomeness: it has an introductory price of $3,499.99. That’s about $300 less than what was announced a month ago, but it’s still not exactly cheap. The PQ321 is set for a July 16th release date, so you still have a couple weeks to bribe relatives, rob a bank or sell off any unwanted organs.

We’ve seen some 4K TVs rolled out in recent times, including an announcement of Toshiba’s Ultra HD 4K TV late last month. Today the first ever consumer-level 4K monitor, the Asus PQ321Q True 4K, has been launched for pre-order at three online retailers. Measuring in at 31.5-inches, the PQ321Q offers ultra-high-definition for an MSRP of
In addition to revealing the pricing and availability of its Ultra HD 4K televisions, Toshiba has announced that it has received 4K Image Certification from Technicolor, making it the first maker of Blu-ray players to have done so. The first of its devices to be certified under this is the BDX6400 Symbio Media Box and
We first got a look at Toshiba‘s upcoming Ultra HD 4K TVs in January at CES, with the company providing a lot of specs, but nothing in the areas of pricing, with availability being pegged as “summer 2013.” It has been a solid six months, and both the price tag and the launch date of
We caught a glimpse of Toshiba’s second generation 4K TVs at CES in January and at a European event in March, and now the company has announced it’s delivering three versions of the L9300U series this fall. All feature its CEVO 4K Quad+Dual Core processor built-in to handle image processing and its suite of Cloud TV apps, plus built-in WiFi, Miracast and WiDi. It also announced Technicolor has certified its Blu-ray player and streaming media box for delivering HD content to its 4K TVs. The 58-, 65- and 84-inch models will all ship in August for $4,999, $6,999 and $16,999 respectively — we’ll see how they compete with similar Ultra HDTV options arriving from the likes of Sony, Sharp and Samsung.

We like dry erase whiteboards just as much as the next guy, but $15,000 like? Not so much. Of course, when we’re given a chance to check out an 84-inch 4K LED whiteboard for free, we’re more than happy to. And that’s how we ended up here at Westinghouse‘s Consumer Electronics Week booth, playing around with an unbelievably expensive toy. Yes, of course the multimillion dollar corporations of the world use stuff like this for work — we used our time to draw an Engadget symbol. Do you expect any less?

While UHD/4K televisions have yet to become the industry standard, we’re guessing that at the rate technology is progressing and with customers becoming more demanding, it will only be a matter of time. However at the moment 4K TVs are […]

Earlier this year, Seiki announced a 50-inch 4K TV

You thought Seiki’s 50-inch 4K TV was affordable? You haven’t seen anything yet. The company is releasing a 39-inch 4K set before the end of June for $699, with pre-orders at Sears starting on the 27th. The screen probably won’t compete with top-tier rivals, but it’s hard to disagree with the price — we’re really looking at a regular 1080p, 120Hz TV that happens to handle 4K, even if few can see the extra detail at this size. And don’t worry if you think Seiki should be going larger. The company plans to ship a 65-inch 4K set by the fall, which should cover those who equate large resolutions with large screens.
