Toshiba's 4K 3D TV to cost about $11,600 in Japan
Toshiba's ultra-advanced ZL2 HDTV will be rebadged as the 55X3 when it goes on sale in Japan on December 10. The 55-inch HDTV has a native 4K resolution (3,840x2,160) but can still display glasses-free 3D content.
The glasses-free 3D effect is accomplished by tracking viewers' faces with a camera for the optimal effect. Each user then only gets treated to 720p resolution, however. Conversion from 2D to 3D is also supported, and HD recording to a USB-attached hard drive is possible. Three tuners are built in.
If and when the set ships in the US isn't being revealed. It Japan, it will cost 900,000 yen (about $11,600). [via SlashGear]
