Westinghouse's Quad HD displays


We promise this post isn't just a cheap excuse to drool over Halo 3 -- no, no -- this post is a cheap excuse to drool over Crysis running at native resolution. Westinghouse got smarter this year and made its two Quad HD LCDs on display a more prominent attraction in the booth, showing off 47-inch and 56-inch models. For those who haven't been keeping score, the 56-inch display is running at 3840 x 2160 Quad Full HD resolution (think 8.3 million pixels is enough for ya?) -- its little brother runs at 2560 x 1440 Quad HD and 3.7 million pixels. Both of these units are going to be released this year in Q2 ("March or April"), but you'll have to part with $10,000 to pick up the 47-inch and a whopping $50k to take home the 56-inch. The rep we spoke with mentioned they obviously weren't targeting consumers with these things so much as engineers, architects, visual imaging and editing professionals and production studios, and medical and geological professionals, as well as mining companies who've shown interest in the technology. We fully concede there's no rational way to justify shelling out 50 grand for one of these things but damn, it doesn't stop us from wanting one at Engadget HQ.

where do you get the video cards or drivers or media or ? to support that resolution? I can see medical applications possibly benefitting...

Wonder if your eyes could see the diffrence, I'm having trouble discerning between 720p, 1080i when I'm watching HD.....:nilly:
 
The Halo fight in the first pic shows the TV better then the 2nd. I'd prefer to save the money and buy a regular 56" HD TV.
 
Man do i wish i was a millionare when can spend like that. That would be so AWESOME to play H3 on!!! I got to have one lol. 50K is sooo much money for a TV though. I betcha that that price will be 1/2+ in the next few years.
 
i seen a 7xxx*3xxx display.i think it was 33 mega pixels and it should be out in 5 years.ill look for the link later.
