Eyes-on: Samsung's 82-inch QuadHD & 52-inch Ultra Slim LCDs

by Richard Lawler, posted Jan 9th 2008 at 8:14PM

Samsung can join Hitachi while crying into their sake as its 52-inch "thinnest non-OLED HDTV ever" is around 4x as thick as Pioneer's 9mm heroin-chic Kuro. Take heart Sammy, because your 82-inch -- and btw, what is with the 82-inch obsession (2005 & 2006 CES), we need to talk about that -- Quad HD display is like looking out of a window, if we had bigger and cleaner windows. Check out the gallery to see what we mean.

The LCD factory I believe outputs 82 inch slabs (or multiples thereof), and that is where the 82 inch comes from. :-)

So, according to the chart...

If you were sitting the standard 10 feet or so away... you would need a tv that is 10 feet across to be able the see this.

That just seems stupid to me. They should work on making the TVs cost less and look better, not stupid crap like this.
