Sharp has just made their Sharp 4K Ultra HD LED TV available to the masses, and they are asking a cool $7,500 a pop for it. Just so that you know, the Sharp 4K Ultra HD LED TV comes with a catalog of bragging rights, including being the first THX 4K Certified TV and only 70″ Class Ultra HD TV in the world, at least for the time being until some other company decides to roll out something larger and better.

Just what kind of performance do you expect from a monster like this? For starters, you will be able to enjoy four times the pixel resolution of high definition and Sharp’s proprietary Revelation 4K Upscaler, making sure that whatever you watch on the AQUOS 4K Ultra HD LED TV, it will look as though it is sharper, more realistic, and of course, more stunning. Sharp claims that “everything you watch on the AQUOS 4K Ultra HD LED TV, regardless of whether or not it is native 4K (3840 x 2160) content, can be seen in 4K detail.” Hmmm, this would mean the actors and actresses being filmed had better start taking good care of their skin so that their complexion would not show up with all the flaws!

With an integrated Revelation 4K Upscaler, it is capable of converting all content into 4K resolution. It does so by using a dual-core processor that fine-tunes the original signal for optimal picture quality, followed by analyzing and intelligently enhancing the content to create a 4K image. Are you ready to break the bank with this bad boy? [Press Release]

Though at first this little dongle seemed (in preview mode) to be a cool competitor for the Google Chromecast – it was revealed the same week, after all – here in its official show-off from Sony, it’s become apparent that the BRAVIA Smart Stick wont work with just any television. Here we’re to understand that […]

Just how much larger do you think that TVs in the living room will get eventually that having a projector around is redundant just for screen size alone? We are not quite sure where the glass ceiling is set in terms of measurements, but one thing is for sure – LG has just edged closer to a new record. In fact, their latest offering comes in the form of a 77” Ultra HD curved OLED TV that might just set the tone for the next-generation TV market. You might get a sense of deja vu out of reading this, but that is because the South Korean consumer electronics giant rolled out a 55” curved OLED TV earlier this year at CES, leaving this 77” monster to debut at IFA 2013 instead.

Havis Kwon, president and CEO of LG Home Entertainment Company, shared,“LG was proud to be the first company to commercially launch an OLED TV and we are once again setting our sights high with the ULTRA HD CURVED OLED TV. This 77-inch TV is proof that we will never stop pushing the boundaries and exploring new possibilities.”

Needless to say, this bad boy from LG would clearly make it the largest OLED TV in the world at the moment, not to mention being the new flagship from LG at the moment, boasting some of the most advanced next-generation TV features in a single chassis. It measures a whopping 77” diagonally, where the large screen’s IMAX-like curvature would ensure that you, the viewer, has a field of vision which is filled more completely compared to a conventional flat-screen TV.

Not only that, it will also merge with LG’s exceptional WRGB OLED and ULTRA HD technology, which would let it deliver infinite contrast ratio and resolution that amounts up to four times greater compared to regular Full HD. No idea on pricing, but chances are pretty high you have got to pay for this through your nose – and more!

While we’re happy just to see a brand new display technology hit the streets, it was shocking to see LG and Samsung kick off the OLED era with curved displays. That’s going to change however, as LG is bringing the 55EA8800 display to IFA 2013 this week with the notable characteristic of having a shape that’s just like every other HDTV. That it’s flat instead of curved also means this is the first wall-mountable OLED TV, and LG is topping off the experience with 2.2-channel “Canvas Speakers” integrated with a faux art mat behind the display itself. The art theme continues with a “Gallery Mode” that displays high res artwork from painters including Vincent van Gogh and Paul Gauguin, or ones personal family pictures. There’s no word on pricing yet, but after its German introduction other markets are expected to follow — check after the break for the press release and in the gallery for a few more pictures. %Gallery-slideshow77145%

When the NHK in Japan first developed the spec for what would eventually be officially known as HDTV, they opted for a 16:9 aspect ratio, instead of the more traditional 4:3, which better filled a human’s vision. But Panasonic apparently feels that’s still not wide enough, at least when it comes to capturing the action on a sports field. So it’s developed a multi-camera system that can capture 720P at an astonishing 64:9.
