This is the biggest home TV
ever made to watch at home – with a huge 110in screen. The vast panel has been
likened to looking through a window and will be on sale from next spring.
It is one of the new
generation of supersize ultra high-definition TVs which promise astonishing
picture clarity.
The set, unveiled by Samsung
at a trade fair in Berlin yesterday, has four times the number of pixels on a
current HD set, showing images in more detail.
For those who cannot wait,
the 98in S9 version has just gone on sale in Britain for £40,000.
However, there are smaller
models with screens of 50-60ins with more modest price tags of around £5,000.
Next year’s football World
Cup in Brazil will be the first major event to be broadcast in full Ultra HD to
viewers in Japan, while the Rugby World Cup in England in 2015 will be the
first in the UK.
Consumer electronics guru,
Barry Fox, said the images on the new sets are extremely impressive, offering a
far better experience than 3D.
‘The pictures are
mind-blowing, it is like looking through a window,’ he said.
The set was unveiled by
Samsung’s Michael Zoeller, senior director of European sales and marketing,
among a number of new innovations at an industry tech show in Berlin.
He said the screen is so big
that players would appear almost life-size to viewers during a football match.
‘This looks stunning. The
screen in nearly 2.5 metres across,’ he said
The South Korean electronics
giant also unveiled a television that allows two people to watch different
shows at the same time.
The S9C features a giant
55-inch curved screen to give viewers a cinema experience in their living room.
The television, expected to
cost around £7,000, boasts a cutting-edge OLED screen - offering the ‘amazing’
MultiView feature.
Viewers wear special glasses
that pick up one piece of content at a time, with audio delivered through a
built-in earpiece.
‘Two people can watch two
different programmes at the same time in full screen in full HD and even in 3D
with Samsung MultiView glasses,’ said Zoeller.
‘It is like having two
televisions in one.’
But these TVs are big oh. Where will someone put them? They are however beautiful.
