Blowing the competition away may be putting it lightly

LG is not going to cut any corners at the upcoming Consumer Electronics Show, not on the display market at any rate.

In fact, it would be safe to say that the company is more than ready to humble most every other display maker out there.

We already saw how the company is ready to show off a 55-inch OLED display at the event in Las Vegas.

Now, another announcement on the company's part has surfaced, one that speaks of a 3D UD TV.

UD stands for Ultra-Definition, which means that the 84-inch display, this monster of a TV, has a resolution far beyond 1,920 x 1,080 pixels (Full HD).

For those who want the precise numbers, the native resolution is of 3,840 x 2,160 pixels, which means that the UD TV has about 8 million pixels in total.

Things get even more serious when onlookers notice that even 3D is supported by this beast.

“LG is pushing the limits of home entertainment innovation with this 3D UD TV,” said Havis Kwon, President and CEO of LG Electronics Home Entertainment Company.

“We are bringing together all our Smart TV and 3D knowledge in the 3D UD TV in order to demonstrate to the CES audience that LG is committed to being the world's leading brand for immersive home entertainment in 2012 and beyond.”

In addition to the stares that the 84-inch mega-panel will draw because of its sheer size, the 3D UD TV may cause further ripples through its support of 3D Depth Control and 3D Sound Zooming.

Not only that, but LG tossed in the ability to control the newcomer, plus any and all movies and Smart TV apps, through the Magic Remote (features Magic Gesture, Voice Recognition and Point and Wheel gestures).

Finally, as the picture shows clearly, the 84-inch TV has a very narrow and thin bezel.
