But on the other hand, 300 sold units does not look so bad if we take into account two factors - the high price of the device, and poor availability of Ultra HD footage that customers could watch on their 84 inch TV. Suggested retail price of the device for the Korean market is around $20,000, which is the same amount of money that could afford you a middle-class car, only 70 users decided to pay for UHD TV monthly.

As the future of 3D home systems seems very dark, we can expect them to leave homes soon; Ultra HD TVs with a resolution of 3840x2160 pixels should become a hit on the market (or at least wanted by producers). Apart from LG’s models, UHDTV devices are offered by all other major manufacturers such as Sharp, Sony, Toshiba and Samsung.

[Ed – During CES 2013 we saw more than one UHDTV and although the image was sharp and crisp, it was nothing that impressive. On top of that when we were able to see what happens to SD and standard HD content it was not all that pretty. We have a feeling that UHDTVs will eventually take off, but it will not be until the prices come down dramatically and the sizes also hit a more reasonable range (say 55-inch). We also need to see more 4k content available to owners of UHD devices and that will take some time.]
