Just in case there was any doubt, Toshiba has confirmed plans to launch its halo product, the
Cell (for Cell Broadband engine, similar to the one in the PS3) TV,
with all the LED backlit 3D GUI, 3840x2160 resolution, and DLNA streaming capabilities one could want, in Japan by the end of the year. Thanks to the company's
new religion, it will also feature a Blu-ray recorder to go along with the 1TB hard drive, though we can bet that will be axed before making its way stateside in 2010. Of course we're still looking forward to the
Media Center Extender packing display expected here some time soon, but when an executive promises the "ultimate entertainment machine" we can't help but wonder what's in store. More detailed specifications and any pricing info other than "it will be fairly expensive" are still unavailable.

" As for the pricing, said that it will be "fairly expensive" Oosumi said."
Understatement of the year right there.
Also how big would the TV have to be to see noticeable difference of 2160p resolution compared to 1080p?

Depends on how close you sit. Don't be fooled you will notice the difference.

Slide says "that will be marketed in 2009" making it sound like it will appear in 2010. With those specs it will definitely be a very expensive item. Hopefully it has the performance to match.

@ IseWise - Exactly what I was thinking. I mean at 50-65 inches how much would someone get to see or notice in this 2160p resolution and nothing is even on that level, so what is it all for?
I'm hoping this LED set up can actually match or beat the badassness of Pioneer's Kuro Elites.
What do you all think, is this possible?
