Philips reveals 56-inch Quad Full 3D HDTV in Hollywood

On the slim chance that a 52-inch, no-glasses-needed 3D HDTV wasn't swank enough for you, Philips is one-upping itself at the Biz-Ex conference in Hollywood. This 56-inch monstrosity is hailed as a Quad Full Autostereoscopic 3D HDTV, which means that it packs a slightly absurd (in a good way, of course) 3,840 x 2,160 resolution and can churn through data at an alarming rate. Additionally, Philips is promising that this one can produce up to 46 views at once, which should go a long way in making the third-dimension a lot more believable on TV. There's no definitive release date just yet, but it'll probably run upwards of $25,000 whenever it's ready for prime time.

Perfect TV for the Philips fanboy. Where is he anyway?

25,000? Call me crazy, and some of you will, that price actually sounds halfway reasonable to me. Considering when HDTV's started showing up at best buy they were priced 12-14 thousand.
