"Westinghouse had its 110-inch UHD set in a hotel suite (seen here with Marketing Communication Manager Brett Hunt); how they got it in there I have no idea. Whereas the other companies would not even speculate on how much a 110-inch UHD TV would cost, Westinghouse said its set would be in the neighborhood of $300,000! Prices for Westinghouse's smaller UHD offerings will be much more down-to-earth—$4000 for the 65-incher, $3000 for the 55-inch model, and $2500 for the 50-inch version."

...I bet it costs a tad over $300K and belongs in the "if you have to ask...." category.

At normal viewing distance (12' or more), it would look similar to 1080p but a better, smoother picture I'm sure. At 7' or 8' you could see the improvement in resolution.There has got to be an improvement at closer viewing distances.
These are personal preferences and YMMV.I'm kind of guessing at these distances but I would be very interested in seeing one.
$4000 seems under priced at this point in time. Maybe that quote is for 2015 (2 or more years from now).

I read a better article a few days ago but couldn't find it. What it boils down to, is that one would get a better return on investment by improving other areas than the resolution of the TV.
For instance, rather than doubling the resolution which actually requires four times the bandwidth, reduce the digital compression by 4X. Many times, digital compression is horrid and just putting it on a larger, more detailed screen is stupid. I understand uncompressed video is a sight to behold, but everything we see is compressed, even our beloved Blu Rays.

I think it is premature to judge the new technology until we have chance to try it and get some experience, many new ones were predicted to be totally "unneeded". In fact, new needs usually develop when new possibilities are provided. It is clear that 1080P is not going to be the end of the story, for any number of reasons.
