Welcome to the future of 3D LCD panels. LG is stepping up their game thanks to a press conference in Beijing, China where they unveiled an 84-inch polarized 3D LCD panel with a breathtaking pixel count. Step aside 1080P, it’s time for 3840×2160.
Better than 1080P resolutions are nothing new in the world of film, in fact Sony currently distributes projectors labeled 4K, running at a resolution of 4096×2160. The new LG 84-inch polarized 3D LCD panel takes that 4K resolution and dials it down to a more friendly 1.77:1 ratio.
At the Beijing press conference this morning, a group of 250 participants had a chance to witness the 84-inch monster. What separates this 3D LCD from the competition is that current methods of 3D rely on the frame sequential method which uses liquid crystal shutter glasses.
LG’s polarizing film method lowers the vertical resolution to half that of a panel, while solving the flickering image problem and reducing the weight of the glasses. The end result is a massive, unbelievably sharp 3D picture running at near 4K resolution for your living room.
Before you go running out to buy the new LG polarized 3D LCD panel, you’ll need to wait until 2011. LG Display said that Chinese and global LCD TV makers will prepare full lines of 3D LCD TVs using a polarizing film from early 2011.
The conference was participated by LG Electronics, Vizio, Toshiba and leading Chinese LCD TV makers including Skyworth, Konka, Hisense, Haier, Changhong and TCL. Those nine firms agreed to cooperate with LG Display in the effort to promote the sales of polarized 3D LCD TVs.
It’s news like this that only builds the excitement for CES 2011 in Las Vegas. We can’t wait for January where hopefully LG will have the 84-inch polarized 3D LCD panel on display, front and center. Anyone else ready for the next generation of 3D displays?
Coming 2011 | LG | TBD
