I love my 37” Visio HD. We sit close enough to where it fits our vision nicely. And it fits perfectly in our entertainment center. There’s only one problem; nothing worth watching.

An 84” TV? We’d have to rearrange a lot of deck chairs to get that to fit in.

I have a 55”. I can’t imagine an 84”; it would be too large for my living room.

I’ve had a 54 incher for 2 years now and I can’t imagine ever going with anything smaller. I’ve got it in a small room too. I just measured it and the screen is exactly 5’ from the front edge of my couch. I would not have a problem upgrading to an 84 incher in that same space.

I bet the lag between audio and visual on these beasts in UHDTV mode across satellite will be untenable. I know when I first got my HDTV, there was a 3 second delay between audio and visual and it made watching TV painful. They finally had to implement buffering to fix the problem. This is going to drive us back towards much bigger dishes, because a 60% signal quality simply wont cut it.

The Europen version cost 25,000 euros or $31,000.

Now if 4k is out of the budget and you want a BIGGER screen Sharp sells a 90" model (Sharp LC-90LE745U) for $10,000 give or take a few bucks here and there.

“Frank’s 2000” TV”

Risin’ above the city, blocking out the noonday sun
It dwarfs the mighty redwoods and it towers over everyone
I still remember when that delivery truck came down our block
What a lucky guy, I hear he got the last one in stock
And the neighbors are just green
They say, “That’s the biggest screen we’ve ever seen!”

It’s Frank’s 2000” TV (Frank’s 2000” TV)
Everbody come and see(Frank’s 2000” TV)
Frank’s 2000” TV (Frank’s 2000” TV)

That’s Frank’s remote control, you can look, but don’t touch it, please
‘Cause Frank’s the one in charge and he decides what everybody sees
The picture’s crystal clear and everything is magnified
Robert DeNiro’s mole has got to be ten feet wide
Everybody in the town
Can hear those 90,000 watts of Dolby sound
And I’m mighty proud to say
Now I can watch “The Simpsons” from thirty blocks away

On Frank’s 2000” TV (Frank’s 2000” TV)
Everybody come and see (Frank’s 2000” TV)
Frank’s 2000” TV (Frank’s 2000” TV)
Everybody come and see (Frank’s 2000” TV)

I’m gonna get one of my own real soon
It’s like having a drive-in movie in your own living room
Whoa, hey now... hey now na na na now
Hey now... hey now na na now

Frank’s 2000” TV (Frank’s 2000” TV)
Everybody come and see (Frank’s 2000” TV)
Frank’s 2000” TV (Frank’s 2000” TV)
Got a two year warranty on parts and labor
Frank’s 2000” TV (Frank’s 2000” TV)
Frank’s 2000” TV

I have a 42 Vizo & that’s enough for me. Lol, I don’t have enough wall space for an 84.

Suppose you’re flipping through channels and you see a full face picture of say, Rosanne Barr, with every nose hair in super HD. Then what? You’d never be the same.

I'm not getting such a TV until a standard for 3840 x 2160 video either through cable/over-air transmission or through an upgraded Blu-ray player is finalized.

Meanwhile, I'm enjoying football on my 40" Sony flat panel TV right now.

I have the last year made model of the Toshiba 57” DLP, its a 1080P reverse projection widescreen, it uses a special lamp that at first lasted less than a year, and then over time the inside reflector picked up dust and even a spider web, but I always keep a spare lamp for it which are better and cleaned the inside. This was their top of the line model from some years ago. Bluray kicks wild on it.

I love it, I also have a 50” plasma in the house, though it has better reds and its brighter the DLP still performs very good.

Hope it lasts longer than our Sony TV has. It’s about 5 years old and there are all sorts of lines and shadows on the screen. Won’t buy another TV from Sony.
