Samsung Unveils 82 Inch LCD

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the all-the-better-to-doom-you-with dept.

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."

    I'm getting confused with all these non-decimal units. What's 82" in S.I. units? Is that about 2 cubits? (or are cubits a unit of volume?).

    So, for those of us who don't live in one of the last few stated who have not adopted the S.I. (Burma, Liberia and the USA I believe are the only remaining 3), can we have S.I. units please.

    I wonder if those 3 countries have anything else in common? Lets, see, they all execute children don't they - Oh no, USA just announced it will stop doing that!

    Nope... 1,000 = 1 kiloBIT 1,000,000 = 1 megaBIT 1,000,000,000 = 1 gigaBIT

    Doesn't Bill Gates already have a bunch of flat panels doing this... I bet he will order a ton of these for his super expensive home since he has more than enough bling to drop on these. I heard you wore an ID tag with some preferences for art etc and when you came near one of these panels, it would show artwork etc, that was of your taste.

    Now, what if we hacked into his home network and replaced the art with other stuff... pR0n, vintage and classic Apple PR stuff... or maybe those pictures of Bill with the sheep on the farm I have heard rumors of, or was that just his wife.
