Kshs. 2 Million TV Hits the Kenyan Market
We had earlier given you a heads up of the Sharp’s Kshs. 1 million TV hitting the market, then came another one for double the price of that. The TV is said to be wider than the average car and equal to four 42-inch TVs.
If you are an early technology adopter, with Kshs. 2 million to spare, then you can part with your flat screen or High-Def TV for the latest Ultra HD. LG Electronics East Africa has launched the World’s first 84-inch Ultra HD 3D TV with a screen resolution that can display ultra HD pictures four times sharper than a full HD TV.
“The sheer size of the display, which is equal to four 42-inch TVs, will give you a breathtaking viewing experience,” explains Mr Josep Kim, the LG Managing Director, East and Central Africa.
Ultra HD is the branding term for TV sets with roughly four times the resolution of 1080p HD TVs. LG’s Ultra HD TV is wider than the average car and boasts eight million pixels to generate crystal clear images at a resolution four times higher than existing Full HD. Ultra HD content looks perfect whether you’re two feet or 20 feet away from the screen.
