Toshiba's 55-inch 4K glasses-free 3DTV ships in the US early this year, can we borrow $10k?

It's not a big surprise after launching in Germany and Japan, but Toshiba PR has confirmed to us and CNET that the company's 3,840x2,160 resolution autostereoscopic 3DTV will make its US debut in the first quarter of 2012, matching the "end of fiscal year" prediction we'd heard previously.

There's no details on pricetag or model #, but given its $10,000~ sticker price overseas, we'd start shaking out those couch cushions now.

The LCD maintains its QuadHD resolution when displaying 2D content, however switching into 3D mode drops the resolution to 720p.

Other than removing the need for viewers to wear glasses to see the effect, it also uses face tracking to fine tune the experience for up to nine people.

We'll have more info once it's officially unveiled in a few days, until then feel free to drool over the prototype it showed off last year.

I'll wait 5 to 10 years for this technology to mature ...



So in 2-3 years they will be normal price :)

Well glasses free 3d has already had a few years to mature, and I agree it at least needs a few more, though I must admit, I haven't read too much into how good this one is

As for the resolution, well what is the point? Nothing that you can get commercially is at that resolution, maybe the PS5 might manage that resolution though....

It's nice to see these tv's be introduced but we can agree the tech is too expensive. Also, OLED tv's are said to be at CES but too expensive as well.
Is there anything (entertainment) available right now that would actually take advantage of a 4K resolution? (native)
