Sony has joined the race for 4K televisions. It's not a pretty race, nor a fast one, but keep your eyes open because it will be upon you some day. The KD-84X9005 is a monster 84-inch TV that retails for a whopping 25,000€ ($31,450), which should indicate to anyone with sense that it's more proof of concept that anything you want to buy. One look at the specs and it's clear that Sony has packed all its engineering know-how into this TV.
