The most expensive TV in the world is beauty versus functionality

Along with the goods intended for the mass consumer, often manufacturers create models of a class lux, calculated on single buyers. This applies to almost all categories of goods. Do not stay away and the manufacturers of TVs. In this article you will be able to find out about what it is, the most expensive TV in the world.

What TV can be called expensive?

First we will understand, by what criteria it is possible to determine the most expensive TV in the world. What determines the price of this category of household appliances? First of all, from the diagonal of the screen. Televisions with a diagonal of 42 inches or more already refer not to the budget segment, but more expensive. However, in comparison with those models, which will be described a little further, such dimensions will seem very modest.

Then follows such characteristics as the functionality of the model, the quality of the picture and the clarity of the color reproduction. Here among the leaders there are such well-known companies as LG, Panasonic, Sharp, Toshiba and Sony. The cost of TV sets is 25-40 thousand rubles.

Can you call expensive TVs of this price category? For the average Russian citizen - yes. Are there more expensive models? The answer to this question is yes. For the category of wealthy citizens, there are elite TV sets, the cost of which can be comparable to the price of an apartment in a small city.

Elite among TVs

What are elite TVs? These are advanced models created with the involvement of world-famous designers and possessing tremendous functionality. What is called an elite TV, in fact, is a full-fledged multimedia system, ideally performing the role of home theater.

Currently, several companies are engaged in the production of premium models: Samsung, Sony, Panasonic, Phillips and the company from Denmark Bang & Olufsen.

The most expensive TV in the world - how much can it cost? The price for elite models starts from 50 thousand rubles. The average cost of such equipment is 400-500 thousand.

But there are models that are comparable in price to the cost of the apartment. This is Samsung UE85S9ATXRU and Sony KD-84X9005. Their price starts from 1 million rubles. But also this price seems modest in comparison with cost of the plasma panel from company Bang & Olufsen - BeoVision 4-103. It costs more than 4 million rubles. Impressive, is not it?

The most expensive TV Panasonic

This is a Panasonic plasma panel with 3D TH-152UX1W technology. Its diagonal is 152 inches, or 386 centimeters. The cost of the panel is about 30 million rubles. It successfully implemented all existing 3D technologies, so it will successfully replace the 3D-cinema. About the quality, brightness and clarity of the image here it is not necessary - on the screen of the most expensive plasma panel from Panasonic the picture turns out to be perfectly realistic.

The most expensive TV "Samsung"

Samsung Ultra HD S9 - the owner of the screen in 85 inches, or 216 centimeters. In this case, it has a unique design - a huge screen as if floating in the air. It rests on a thin, almost imperceptible stand, which creates such an amazing effect. If desired, the panel can be hung on the wall, although its weight is impressive - almost 86 kilograms. The functionality of the Samsung S9 series TV is impressive - automatic updating, voice and gesture control - the minimum that this model can. The cost of the TV - an average of 1,300,000 rubles. By the way, Samsung Ultra HD S9 is the most expensive TV in Russia.

Britain's record

The other day there was an interesting information that in the UK created the Titan Zeus - the most expensive in the world TV company Panasonic, which has a diagonal of 370 inches, or 940 centimeters. This is a true record among televisions with large screens. It costs 1.6 million dollars and was collected manually, since there is no factory in the world that is able to automatically assemble it. The most interesting is that of the 4 television sets created, two have already been sold.

Beauty is expensive

If you take all the above TVs, then their cost directly depends on the size and functionality. Beauty here plays a secondary role, although the best designers are involved in creating elite TV models.

But there are models of TVs, where the price directly depends on their beauty. Stuart Hughes, who previously worked on decorating iPhones, decided to work with larger models. Now he turns televisions into masterpieces of jewelry art. As a basis, he took the Prestige HD with not the largest diagonal of 55 inches. 28 kilograms of rose gold went to the creation of the hull, the very panel around the frame was lined with the skin of an alligator. Not without the diamonds - 72 precious stones adorn the body of the TV, which was called Supreme Rose Edition.

Previously, the most beautiful and expensive model of the TV, in the design of which precious materials were used, was LCD HDTV YALOS, a product of an Italian company. It was decorated with diamonds, gold and platinum. The cost is slightly more than 100 thousand euros.

Of course, such works of art are acquired (it is impossible to call such a masterpiece a TV) by wealthy people primarily to confirm their status. Pay for the TV 2.2 million dollars, as in the case with the creation of Hughes, will be able to only a few.
