Sony announced on Wednesday that it has developed an 84" 4K
resolution TV that will ship later this year. The unfortunately named
XBR-84X900 features a "quad full high definition" (QFHD) resolution
of 3840x2160 pixels, and comes complete with a detachable 10-driver
"virtual 5.1 surround sound" speaker system designed to offer a home
theater experience on par with the latest digital cinema technology.
In addition to the usual networked "smart TV" features, the massive
XBR-84X900 set incorporates "proprietary upscaling technology," which
Sony claimed will "ensure that every frame looks clear and crisp,
with a 4K resolution regardless of the content source." We're highly
suspicious of those claims, but native 1080p content should scale
well since QFHD is essentially "pixel doubling" of 1920x1080. Native
4K content is quite scarce outside of theatrical releases, but there
are some existing sources available. And, Sony noted, digital still
images look especially impressive displayed at 4K.
