The amazing new TVs

The amazing new TVs of CES thar won't fit in any room


There's been loads of pocket-sized smart tech popping up at this year’s CES, but there are also loads of gargantuan gadgets that you'll struggle to fit in your home, let alone the boot of your car after you've handed over colossal amounts of cash! The latest TVs are great examples, and we've been taking a look at everything from 120-inch commercial panels, to 'tablets' that measure in at an unbelievable 65 inches - read on to see the most amazing TVs at CES that may not actually fit in your living room!

Sony Bravia XBR900C


Glance at the latest range-topping Sony Bravia XBR900C Ultra HD telly from the side, and it's unlikely you'll come close to guessing just how big it actually is. Despite measuring an incredibly skinny 4.9mm at its thinnest point - thinner than most smartphones - you'll be able to opt for a whopping 75-inch version of the latest Bravia, and it offers a host of goodies in addition to the impressive dimensions. There's a new X1 4K processor for a start, which promises to upgrade image quality, dynamic range and colour, so your movies and TV shows really should come to life.

Sharp 120-inch 4K Commercial LCD Display


As the name hints, Sharp's Commercial LCD display may well be designed for corporate use, and we wouldn't be surprised to see the colossal 120-inch panel pop up in airports or the like at some point in the future, but that doesn't stop us from wanting one for our houses! Granted, it'd be a struggle to actually fit it through the door, you'll need an incredibly large wall to attach it to, and we dread to think how much it actually weighs, but just imagine watching The Gadget Show on a panel big enough to cover the entire side of your living room!

Samsung SUHD JS 8500



Not content to let Sony take the limelight with its 75-inch telly, Samsung also unleashed a new range of high-end TVs, with the its 4K range-topper measuring in at a massive 88 inches that packs in quantum dot tech too. Sure, it still doesn't get close to the size of some commercial panels, but it's plenty big enough for us - we'd probably need to remove the fireplace first before we could hang it on the wall! Samsung has given 4K its own moniker for it’s range of tellies, with SUHD being the acronym you’ll be looking for if you want a Ultra HD Samsung telly, and that just means you can look forward to eye popping resolution, a curved design and plenty of smart options.

LG EG9900 


LG was another South Korean manufacturer to reveal some monster curved TVs, with the LG EG9900 measuring in at a handy 77 inches. Along with the curved design, it packs in a 4K resolution and OLED technology, but unlike the Samsung, LG's big set is also flexible. And that means you'll be able to switch from a curved viewing experience to a flat one depending on who's in your living room and where people are sitting - provided you can somehow manage to fit it into your living room! Still, at least the bendy panel may make it easier to squeeze around your hallway when you're actually trying to get it into your house!

Fuhu Big Tab


Granted, the Fuhu Big Tab isn't exactly a TV per se, but at up to 65 inches it's certainly not your run of the mill Android tablet, and we can't imagine many people having rooms big enough to casually hang one on the wall without some careful planning. And although it technically is a tablet, that 4K resolution should be glorious for playing back TV on demand services like Netflix or Amazon Prime Instant Video, just with the added benefit of being able to create some brilliant artwork or play massive Angry Birds when you get bored!
