Samsung Unveils 82 Inch LCD
karvind writes "Physorg is reporting that Samsung Electronics has developed the world's largest liquid crystal display panel. This 82-inch TFT-LCD is 17 inches larger than LCD flat panel previously developed by Sharp. This development challenges plasma display panels in this market area. This full HD image quality (1,920 x 1,080 pixels) TFT-LCD panel was developed at the company's new production complex in Tangjeong, Korea. The soon-to-be operational 7th-generation production facility uses glass substrates that measure 1.87m x 2.20m."
Now I get to watch my favorite sites get slashdotted in style!
There is no sig
Just that much closer to "Frank's 2000 inch TV"...great.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but does that mean that
I'm eventually going to see a naked woman in 1:1 scale?
You'll need to take out two loans; one to buy the thing and the other to afford power it
Damn, and I just got a 19 Inch. Guess my stuff is obsolete as always.
Anthropic principle: We see the universe the way it is because if it were different we would not be here to see it.
Aren't these the same guys who yesterday said 10,000,000 bytes was 10 gigs?
Ha! This is obviously a hoax. "Liquid crystal"? Such a think is obviously impossible! Who do they think we are...fools?
Two freaks, no foes. It takes absolutely nothing to make some people angry.
Luckily the flames spewing from their server will be put out with all the drooling.
All' well that ends well.
Unfortunately, I am not Wil Wheaton
for a printer that will print currency so that I can buy the current "largest" computer monitor and/or TV.
1920x1080 at 82"... Those are some big dots. I wouldn't call it "liquid crystal" but more like "vacuum tubes with plastic filters on them."
You told me size doesn't matter...
Now I can finally display a lifesized woman with a 41" chest, front, sides, and back, on my computer screen. 'Bout darn time.
Oh, not that I would...
Saskboy's blog is good. 9 out of 10 dentists agree.
Back under your bridge... g'wan, shoo, shoo...
Dang trolls, more of 'em each year... I blame them suits in Washington.
Whence? Hence. Whither? Thither.
So now we have an 82 inch TV. And 60 inch waistlines.
Priorities People.
Bacardi + slashdot = negative karma.
High Resolution 82 inch monitor, low resolution internet porn. Is that a fuzzy breast or a sand dune?
Does it come with the two Asian women to help hold it up?

Clearly you and I are interested in different kinds of pr0n...

No trees were killed in the creation of this post. However, many electrons were inconvenienced.
My beef is that since it's the same resolution, you could probably go with a 40-60" one, sit a few feet closer to the tv, and buy yourself a small car with the money you save.
Just imagine the size of the keyboard on that laptop. You could play hop scotch on the numeric keypad.
No, my LCD runs Windows just fine ;-)
Being sensible for a moment, it's OLED that has the "blue pixel death" problem, not LCD, so you should be fine. LCDs don't have the short half-life of plasma and OLED (they just look like crap to start with).
"I Know You Are But What Am I?"
I love the wording: Samsung develops world's largest 82" TFT LCD. So, if someone else comes along and makes another 82" TFT LCD, but puts it in a wider, thicker frame, can they advertise as "world's largest 82" TFT LCD"?
That's like saying Mini Me is the world's tallest 24" man.
Your beef?! Do go buy yourself a 40-60" one, along with that small car. This particular model is for those who already have a fleet of small (and large) cars, and need a large central TV to frame with all the other 40-60" ones they already have. IOW, you're NOT the target market for this model, so don't take it personally that it doesn't come bundled with a small car.
