Sony's $25,000 84-inch XBR 4K LED TV

Sony pushes out the largest and highest resolution TV on the market: Sony XBR 4k.

84 inches at 4x the resolution (3840 x 2160, 8.3 million pixels) of any other TV on the market. It'll only set you back a cool 25 grand.

While I agree that large TVs need to start using higher resolution, said TV wont do you any good unless you connect a computer to it. The highest resolution that TV channels, console games, or blu-ray will use is still 1080p.

The whole industry needs to upgrade at the same time essentially.

While there is no native resolution available high enough to be used by the TV yet, it still has the capability to upscale to 4K.

There are some graphics cards that can handle that resolution though I'm not aware of any games that are produced at that resolution so even with a $2,000 computer there isn't much use for this tv (yet) but oh will that be pretty.

I think most PC games are capable of scaling to whatever resolution your display is capable of producing. I know 2048x1152 screens did not exist when Unreal 1 was made, yet I can run it at this resolution.

Also, just imagine Crysis or Battlefield 3 running on this TV. That would look amazing.
