Westinghouse Quad HDTV gives you 2160p! but why?

westinghouse quad hdtv 2160p

So 720p qualifies as high def right? And 1080p goes even further to be called “full” high def, but what do you call a screen that boasts the fact that it is 2160p? Well, Westinghouse has a 2160p HDTV that was shown at CES, and they are calling it the Quad HDTV. This Quad HDTV is 52 inches and has ben announced to sell for about $50,000! Tough choise… HDTV…BMW…HDTV…BMW. Now be rational please, while we know that you all are the geeks that want to run out and get something like this because it sent shivers down your spine when you saw something bigger than 1080p, remember that there isn’t any content yet. The best that you can do right now is 1080p content. So if you happen to buy this HDTV, you will be stuck with an image the same as your friend who paid thousands less than you for their screen. So, is $50,000 worth 3840 x 2160 pixels to you? If so, go right ahead. Be our guests (and please let us know how it is!). — Nik Gomez

Not only does this beautiful piece of technology (the Philips AmbiSound HTS8100) look as if God himself made it, it also has such an inmense amount of technology inside of it that it won the Innovations Award at CES 2007. What is so special about a simple stereo? The fact that the subwoofer is the only unit apart from the actual bar is pretty revolutionary. The SoundBar itself has what is called precise driver positioning (a new technology) that gives it the ability to put out 5.1 surround sound without the 5 different speakers. The Ambisound SoundBar also comes with a DVD player built in so that no matter what you might be watching or playing on your TV or AmbiSound, it will sound as if you are back in the local theatre. The video quality offered by this product is just another part that jusitifies its pretty hefty price tag of $999. It is able to put out 1080p, something that is moving to the forefront of video tech. Another nice video feature is that it is capable of upscaling your video content to 1080i if it hasn’t hit that bar yet. The HTS8100 will be available in second quarter 2007. — Nik Gomez
