  £8,500 to you, and you'll have to go to South Korea to pick it up.
  
  Apparently the screen "mirrors the curvature of an arena". Hmmm, not quite sure what the advantage of that is...
  
  Worth it?

  Isn't it horrible that you can whack on the 3D glasses and headphones to watch a completely different TV show to the person sat next to you. What happens to nights of just basically ignoring each other whilst tolerating your respective viewing partners choices as they tolerate yours. Dare I say some of us are fortunate enough to enjoy another person to watch TV with as it stimulates an actual face to face debate, be it over Question Time or Big Brother but whichever, not via twitter to a faceless audience without fear of repercussion.
  
  Lets face it, most of us barely go out anymore in the evening due to cost of living or fear of pan faced droolers interfering with what would be a normally pleasant evening and even radiation sickness from street lamps. So the good old fashioned chin wag about the what the shiny box of lights shows us about the world, at least keeps us remotely human because it's a connection, whether like what you're watching or not.
  
  So what now? Separate glasses to give you your own visuals and your own audio? So what then? We can take them off after and converse about our experience 2 fold? So that we can sit with someone and be taken through their vision of what they've just watched and in turn share yours? Maybe, but it's far more likely that you'll both just keep watching your own choices until bedtime where you can ignore each other in your own movie dreams, on your own bit of the bed. On the off chance you were both watching the same thing, neither of you would know because you're plugged in and happy, not in your living room, in your own little world, on your own bit of the chair. Well, don't you just have it all!

  Similar vibe to everyone plugging themselves in to their phones on the tube etc.
  
  We've never been more connected yet we've never been more alone.

  Fuckinel Foxy that was some diatribe that m8! I agree with it whole heartedly! except the bit about Question Time, on the odd occasion my tart is in of a Thursday {bingo} night we rarely discuss the points raised and argued over by the panel of 'experts' ppfff! I like to watch QT with a bottle of Rioja, and the dog, I have a fucking good shout at whoevers on then open a beer and tune into Rampant to further my frustrations wishing I could get over to Colombia to squeeze Violets ass!..... twitter my arse!
