6 Upcoming Gigantic Smart TVs

1.LG 55EM9600 – The World’s Thinnest TV

Price: Not Yet Decided

Availability: Between Late 2012 to Early 2013

LG announced their TV 55EM9600 which promises the users with revolutionary picture quality in an extremely thin TV. LG first showcased this TV in the Consumer Electronics Show in January 2012.

The TV will support a 55 inch OLED screen and is 3mm thick. The TV weighs only 9 kgs because LG has integrated carbon fiber reinforced plastics into the rear of the TV set which along with providing reinforcement also keeps the weight low.

Coming to the most important factor; the price. Considering the fact that it is going to be the slimmest TV in the market when it arrives, it will come with a breath taking price tag as well. There are hints that the TV might comes at $10,000 (5,22,850).

With this price tag a lot of us may not be able to get our hands on this beauty.

2.Samsung ES9500

Price: Not Yet Decided

Availability: Not Yet Disclosed

Samsung has always been known to make an impact in the technology world and never be left out of competition. Along with LG, even Samsung unlived its 55 inch OLED TV at the Consumer Electronics Show in January 2012. For the time being they have named it the Super OLED TV. Like its competitor LG, Samsung has also promised the viewers with revolutionary picture quality and a slim TV.

Samsung hasn’t disclosed the price of the product but sources are pointing at the fact that the TV might cross the five digit mark. Unlike LG who gave an approximate time as to when the TV might hit the markets, Samsung has decided to keep mum on the dates.

Now time will only tell us if the TV is going to be worth its price tag and if it would deliver on its promise of revolutionary picture quality.

4.LG 84LM9600

Price: 10,45,647 Approximately

Availability: October 2012 in the US Markets

The price tag on this LG TV does seem a bit to extravagant. But the makers promise us that once we view pictures on this TV we will not look at any other TV. Only once the TV makes it way to the market will we be able to decide if this claim is right or not.

At the Consumer Electronic Show, 2012 the main buzz word was 4K. 4K is a horizontal resolution which comes with 4,000 pixels approximately.

The 84 inch monster from LG is one of the two 4K TV unveiled at the CES, the other one being from Sony. The TV from LG will be available in the US markets by the end of October 2012 and will soon after make its debut in other countries as well. 

If you thought this monster from LG is the largest TV in the market, then you are wrong, the largest TV measures 90 inches and is from Sharp, but this TV only supports a resolution of 1080 pixels.

5.Sony XBR-84X800

Price: 13,07,750 Approximately

Availability: Late 2012

The competition among the electronic giants will never get over. While LG launched their first 84 inch 4K TV, Sony played party spoilers and announced their 84 inch 4K TV as well. The TV is very similar to the one from LG, even to the fact that the TV comes with passive 3D feature as well.

This TV will be the most expensive TV produced, beating LG by almost 3 Lakhs. People were expecting the TV from Sony to hit the market around the same time as the one from LG which did not happen.

Though a big deal is being made about the 4K TV sets, we must remember one thing that there is a lack of 4K content as of now. As of now there is only one 4K movie called TimeScapes. So with the lack of 4K content these TV will just a decoration piece.
