The second an 82-inch"e-board" with multi-touch screen designed to replace whiteboards and projectors. The third display is a DID (Digital Information Display) which provides 3D images.

This new TV presented by us features a resolution of 3,840 x 2,160 and a 120Hz refresh rate and it displays Ultra Definition pictures at 120 frames per second.

It also features a red, green and blue backlight to raise the true colour saturation to 150 percent, based on the NISC standard of 100 percent.





An extract from the official press release:

"At SID 2008, Samsung will unveil the industry's first 82-inch LCD TV panel with ultra-definition (3,840 x 2,160 pixels) resolution at a 120Hz refresh rate. It displays ultra-definition (UD) resolution at 120 frames per second, minimizing the blurring that is experienced at 60Hz. A red/green/blue LED backlight has been added to raise true color saturation to 150 percent, based on the NISC standard of 100 percent.

This 82-inch LCD is large enough to cover all viewing angles with ultra-definition resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate that will allow viewers to watch motion pictures as if they are really in them," said Sang Soo Kim, executive vice president of the LCD Technology Center at Samsung Electronics. "It is the optimal display for future TVs.

Samsung will also introduce an 82-inch "e-board" with a multi-touch screen, which is a product that is destined to replace whiteboards and beam projectors. It was created using a 60Hz UD LCD panel and is the largest panel of its kind with a multi-touch screen. At the same time, UD resolution is built-in to deliver the very best digital information display."

We don't know anything about pricing or availability yet, but probably will be very expensive.
