World's Most Expensive TV Costs $2,250,000

[ryanjm]

I don't think this really counts as the most expensive. It's a regular tv, with a bunch of jewels on it. Using that standard I could make the world's most expensive piece of shit by simply throwing a handful of diamonds on top of it. It's the diamonds, not the tv, that is expensive. I expected to see a 200" OLED monster or something.

Clearly, the rich wouldnt buy this garbage because they get more back through tax returns if they spend that much money on charity...

so i would say, FAIL !!!!

but wait, there are rich people in UAE who spent 30 million dollars on number plates of their car to show how rich they are because they dont get tax...

 

[grieve]

are you sure these are not made by Apple?!

Some people just have too much money... I can truly say i would never buy something like this, It is god aweful ugly and purely just to say "i have infinite $". If i had this type of money I would splurge on a movie room that costs 500k (or less/more... top of the line, less the gold and diamonds)

Jerry Jones dropped about 40 million tax-dollars on his 12,000 sqft 1080p screen that hangs in the new Texas Stadium.

Umm... Wondering whether I will watch TV or watch "TV?"

 

[dco]

Dunno who annoy's me more, the TV's designer or the people stupid enough to buy it

 

[shin0bi272]

isnt it wonderful to live in a country where we can make such expensive crap that's worthless at the same time? What do you do when it becomes obsolete and you want to upgrade? Melt it down and pull out the gems and put them in some sort of jewelery?

That had better come with at least ten full time strippers and a few thousand bottles of liquor and fine wines. Migh as well toss in a bugatti veyron while they're at it.

Ok... so the article has no technical details on the TVs? So we'll never know the quality or technology used? On a tech site?

I wouldn't buy such garbage even if I did have the money. The newer, and expensive in my pay charts, TVs that are super thin would be in my sights.

Shaq is rich. The man that signs his check is wealthy.

There is a difference.

Look at my 32" Westinghouse! I trimmed it in gold and silver! Bad ass!

What about the 2 160x70 foot TV scrrens in cowboy stadium? I read one article that said "The cost of buying and installing them will slightly exceed the $35 million "

How about a Panasonic 150" 4k (4096×2048) plasma?
It was released two years ago.

Well it might be nice when the technology becomes outdated the actual material the screen is made up can be sold for the same or more than you bought it for.

For everyone talking about the big screen in Texas, I would assume that that isn't actually a TV, just a monitor.

How do you keep your "friends" from prying stones off the thing when you are out of the room?
