Damn, just look at those remote controls. Now they even have keyboards, I wonder how long will it take for it to control your car or something.

Glasses-free 3D 4K Toshiba? Does this type of 3D technology work well yet? Has anyone on Tom's seen it? Do you have to stand in a particular spot for it to work well?

Sorry, should have elaborated more in the article. You DO have to stand in a particular spot - I think there were several spots for each TV. There are several circles on the screen with arrows in them, and once you stand in the right place, the arrows disappear. It's a prototype, so I think the final product will do away with the circles (except during calibration maybe?), and the 3D will work from multiple viewing angles.

Negative, Ghost Rider. Each eye has its own 1280x720 OLED display.

I know this is a lost cause -- can we not call LCD panels with LED side lit "LED TV"s? It's already misleading enough when the marketing people call these LED TV's, but Tom's Hardware? When true technical people starting to propagate the lie, how can normal consumers make good decisions?

4K is probably going to require at a minimum 2 GTX 460's in SLI to play any game at all. It's time for them to release new speedier video cards to match. Assuming that they don't screw us out of real possible framerates like they did with 120/240Hz tv's by only letting a pc send 1920x1080 @ 60Hz via hdmi. It's ridiculous that my lcd tv can do 120fps, my video card can do 120fps on some games and I just can't send that many frames, i have to limit it to 60. To make things more insulting, I could send 120 fps to any decent oldschool CRT monitor.
