Nope the original post is correct. That is the correct number, LOL. The conversion comes out to roughly $30K CAD FYI.

LOL, that's a lot of cash!!!..The LG 84" 4k is $13,000 cheaper!!!..You can buy their (sony) 4k projector for $10k less, and watch it on a 120" screen

lmao and they wonder why they keep losing money? They should just bite the bullet and release for 2k USD. Instant seller I tell you!

Eventually it'll become affordable. I remember when HDTVs first came out and everyone complained about the price. It may take years, but one day it'll be in my living room.

I bet this one is too expensive even for fancy rich ppl lol

Taxes, taxes!

Dunno about fancy rich folks, but def too expensive for me! As pointed out the earlier post is right, there's a different system we use in India for units of numbers. And the price isn't an indication of what you'd pay outside of India. As an example, a 54 in HDTV in India currently cost about US 8k, it's the bleeding govt taxes!

Whats the point, there is no 4k media out yet to see the full potential and if there is, its probably a few demo pieces.
