Samsung Unveils 82 Inch LCD

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."

82 inches of slashdot?

[bryan986]

Now I get to watch my favorite sites get slashdotted in style!

Just that much closer...

[Anonymous Coward]

Just that much closer to "Frank's 2000 inch TV"...great.

So...

[Anonymous Coward]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but does that mean that
I'm eventually going to see a naked woman in 1:1 scale?

Great

[Anonymous Coward]

You'll need to take out two loans; one to buy the thing and the other to afford power it

Damn

[CastrTroy]

Damn, and I just got a 19 Inch. Guess my stuff is obsolete as always.

82 inches

[Anonymous Coward]

Aren't these the same guys who yesterday said 10,000,000 bytes was 10 gigs?

Undoing the Slashdotting

[CleverNickedName]

Luckily the flames spewing from their server will be put out with all the drooling.

All' well that ends well.

I'm still waiting

[WormholeFiend]

for a printer that will print currency so that I can buy the current "largest" computer monitor and/or TV.

Big pixels

[LordOfYourPants]

1920x1080 at 82"... Those are some big dots. I wouldn't call it "liquid crystal" but more like "vacuum tubes with plastic filters on them."

Re:Nice but...

[ntshma]

You told me size doesn't matter...

Lifesized

[saskboy]

Now I can finally display a lifesized woman with a 41" chest, front, sides, and back, on my computer screen. 'Bout darn time.

Oh, not that I would...

Re:Whats that in Metric

[kahei]

Back under your bridge... g'wan, shoo, shoo...

Dang trolls, more of 'em each year... I blame them suits in Washington.

Larger Than....

[goneutt]

So now we have an 82 inch TV. And 60 inch waistlines.

Priorities People.

Re:So...

[R.Caley]

They keep making these bigger screens to keep up with the need to fit in the male stars who have taken advantage of all of the amazing products and services they get email about.

Re:So...

[lottameez]

Perhaps you should try a dating service. I understand that they can help to accomplish the same goal.

Re:82 inches

[generic-man]

Hey, I edited the Wikipedia entry to state that one Gigabyte is 1,000,000 bytes. Until someone corrects it, your post is correct.

What a waste

[Perl-Pusher]

High Resolution 82 inch monitor, low resolution internet porn. Is that a fuzzy breast or a sand dune?

Options

[lbmouse]

Does it come with the two Asian women [samsung.com] to help hold it up?

Re:size/resolution

[dfn5]

It could be me, but it does look quite low for a screen that big.

This display is mainly intended for portable MP3 players, so they really didn't need a high resolution.

Re:Eventually?

[TGK]

Clearly you and I are interested in different kinds of pr0n...

Re:So...

[Dogtanian]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but does that mean that I'm eventually going to see a naked woman in 1:1 scale?

Don't know about that; but I'm overjoyed personally, as it's the first time my 82-inch penis will be able to be seen in 1:1 scale on an LCD.

Bleh.... seriously, would anyone *really* want an 82-inch penis? Truth is, I'm not that big, but I'm perfectly happy with my 82cm.

What was that at the back? "82mm more like"? Yeah, well maybe so, but it's what you do with it that counts. I hope... *sob*

Re:So...

[Tony Hoyle]

If you can afford that screen try going into the big blue room.. you can buy some real 3d women for a lot less (often the cost of a couple of drinks).

Re:size/resolution

[EulerX07]

My beef is that since it's the same resolution, you could probably go with a 40-60" one, sit a few feet closer to the tv, and buy yourself a small car with the money you save.

Re:So...

[EulerX07]

He could also go with an escort service instead. The costs are higher but the success rate is more pronounced, especially for someone that needs a big tv to see a naked women.

Not that I'd know anything about that. I swear.

Wow

[Wordsmith]

Just imagine the size of the keyboard on that laptop. You could play hop scotch on the numeric keypad.

Re:Blue pixels?

[iainl]

No, my LCD runs Windows just fine ;-)

Being sensible for a moment, it's OLED that has the "blue pixel death" problem, not LCD, so you should be fine. LCDs don't have the short half-life of plasma and OLED (they just look like crap to start with).

Re:Press release from Samsung + pic!

[Anonymous Coward]

I love the wording: Samsung develops world's largest 82" TFT LCD. So, if someone else comes along and makes another 82" TFT LCD, but puts it in a wider, thicker frame, can they advertise as "world's largest 82" TFT LCD"?

That's like saying Mini Me is the world's tallest 24" man.

Re:So...

[gstoddart]

I'm eventually going to see a naked woman in 1:1 scale?

In your case, no. If you haven't by now, you may never. :-P

Re:So...

[NanoGator]

"Bleh.... seriously, would anyone *really* want an 82-inch penis?"

Heh. A coworker friend of mine asked one of his coworker friends a hypothetical scenario: "What would you do if a chick you dated ran around telling everybody you had a small penis?" "Hit her with it."

Re:size/resolution

[uradu]

Your beef?! Do go buy yourself a 40-60" one, along with that small car. This particular model is for those who already have a fleet of small (and large) cars, and need a large central TV to frame with all the other 40-60" ones they already have. IOW, you're NOT the target market for this model, so don't take it personally that it doesn't come bundled with a small car.

Re:So...

I'm eventually going to see a naked woman in 1:1 scale?

And she'll even have giant pixels!
