LG's 105-inch, 21:9 curved UHD TV is wide enough to be a tanning bed UPDATE: Samsung now has their own 105 inch tv too

LG already has a big 77-inch curved Ultra HD OLED TV, but why stop there? The Korean company has just announced that it will be unveiling a 105-inch version atCES next month, but with a twist: this one uses LCD instead of the more expensive OLED, courtesy of improved TFT technology for an even backlighting across the curved surface. Furthermore, this 105UB9 model has a wider-than-usual 21:9 "CinemaScope" aspect ratio, thus providing a 5,120 x 2,160 UHD resolution (but technically not 5K). While we likely won't find out about the pricing of this monstrosity until CES, this milestone for LG Display's LCD technology could signify a wave of more affordable curved TVs next year -- much like what Sony's attempting with its S990A. Stay tuned for our eyes-on report once we hit the show floor.

Personally think this is overkill as it would be pretty expensive and wouldn't be for consumers. This is pretty cool and might be great for commercial usage. Imagine gaming on this resolution...

 

UPDATE: Heres Samsung's version of it: http://www.engadget.com/2013/12/19/samsung-105-inch-ultra-hd-ultrawide-lcd-ces/
