Last week, we told you that Sony was planning to release an 84-inch 4K TV, known as the XBR-84X900. While you were wiping the drool, Sony decided to leak a few extra details.
The company is currently out at the CEDIA Expo in Indianpolis, Indiana, showing off this 84-incher.
First and foremost, we now have a pre-order date and a price. You'd better start saving those pennies and pretty much every other ounce of spare currency, because Sony will start taking pre-orders on September 6, 2012, with plans to deliver the TV by November. When it does finally arrive, this giant set will come with a $24,999.99 price tag.
Of course, you get what you pay for, right? This isn't your average HDTV. It's a 4K TV, which means that it has a 3840 x 2160 resolution -- which is four times the resolution of a full 1080p HDTV. It also has passive 3D technology, which won't be the full 4K in 3D, but it should still be very in your face and awesome.
Other features include dynamic edge lit, LED backlighting and a three-chip, 4K X-Reality Pro picture engine, which provides 4K upscaling. This set also has built-in WiFi and the entire Sony Entertainment Network suite of services. The latter can deliver on-screen access to options like Music Unlimited, Video Unlimited, Netflix, Pandora, Yahoo! Broadcast Interactivity, and more. The set will also be compatible with Sony's Media Remote app, so viewers can control the TV experience via a tablet or smartphone.
While the image is certainly the main draw, the XBR-84X900 isn't just a pretty picture. It will include something called the 10 Unit Live Speaker system. This little perk should get the room shaking, via virtual 5.1 surround sound and detachable side speakers.
Also, have you seen the size of this thing? At 84 inches, it should be quite the immersive experience.
