Monster quad-HD LCD from Westinghouse to demo at CES
Continuing to roll with the 1080p bandwagon, Westinghouse has announced plans to show off the new year's product line of 1080p-capable LCD sets at CES, with a 52-incher as the flagship model. Also to be displayed is a 56-inch LCD with 3840 x 2160 resolution -- a full four times high-definition -- that is most likely intended for medical imaging or videoconferencing use. Imagine taking four 23-inch Apple Cinema displays and somehow attaching them together and that's what you'd get in this prototype. Move over 103-inch plasmas, you're so 2006!
[update: fixed apple display size]

Imagine taking four 30-inch Apple Cinema displays and somehow attaching them together and that's what you'd get in this prototype.
Dont you mean four 23-inch Apple Cinema displays since the 30s are 2560x1600 and four of them attached together would pretty much equal to 5120x3200, which pretty much trumps 3840x2160.

What he said. Someone needs to check their math and/or their sources.

Gosh, what nitpicking comments that detract from the headline story!
Amazing ... I want my 2160p NOW :) FYI, this probably uses the ChiMei 2160p panel (all other Westys, not to mention all/most (?) Samsung/Sony/Sceptre/EyeFi/Vizio TFT-LCDs also come from the same company!)
Chi mei's own TV was first mentioned here:

(I can no longer find the panel on the CMO website, though - my bookmark from back in Feb no longer works!)

How about just 4 HDTVs? Why must it be Apple? I think we have some zombies in here...
