The struggling Japanese TV maker has unveiled the world's biggest commercial LED TV. The 90-inch Aquos LED TV is a full four feet tall, 8 feet diagonally and 6 feet wide with a depth of 5 inches. The TV is a very hefty 141 pounds, as can be expected.

I think for the price you would be better off going with a projector. At least it would be a lot more easier to move around and setup. I would not want to try and move that through a house to where it needs to be. It's not so much the weight but the sheer size that may make it impossible for some people to get it to where it needs to be.

I'm not saying this tv is worth the money of course...but if you are one of those people who make ten times the price of this tv per day without lifting a finger, why comprise? Also, I can easily see the difference between 720 and 1080 on a 40"...I don't even have to try, it only takes a glance. I assume it is the same with a giant like this and 4k.

Once you pay for the 3D conversion kit to go with the useless glasses they give you, the 200lb mounting kit, then the $6000 for the 4 Teamsters to come in reinforce your family room wall studs because this behemoth bowed them out 10 inches...
I fail to see the difference between a really good projected image at 1080 & shiny glassed in 720 in a dimmed room. Other than i can eat a steak once in a while with the projected image & I might have to knock granny in the head for ramen for this TV.

It's like your retort said, a guy that has this much to shell out for this lack luster TV is obviously going to put it in the 'kids room' because even the untrained eye could tell the picture difference on a TV 1/4th the size.
I would venture a guess that the same guy forking this much for the kids probably also has some other inadequacy issues as well.

Originally posted by mukhis:So you're saying you can't tell the difference on your computer monitor if your changed between the 2 resolutions even though it a smaller screen?
i don't think difference between 720p and 1080p becomes even apparent unless the TV is 50" or higher, forget about instantly identifying the difference.

To a trained eye the subtleties are apparent, to another, not so much so. Similar to why a $1200 sound system is too much money when to others it wouldn't buy one speaker.
