Quietly rearing its head at this year's CES, Toshiba is demonstrating the latest incarnation of its production 55 inch 4K glasses-free 3DTV.
The device is capable of QuadHD (3,840 x 2,160) 2D playback and utilises local dimming LED back-lit technology. However, the situation alters somewhat when viewing the device in 3D, the resolution drops to a meagre 720p, however this is where the magic comes into play, the device is fully auto-stereoscopic, featuring a hidden-camera at the panel's base, the TV tracks up to nine, optimally four or less, viewers, dedicating a portion of the QuadHD pixel array to each one, resulting in a high quality, glasses-free 3D experience.
Already available in Germany and Japan, the TV is set to hit the US in Q1 2012, we're yet unsure as to a UK release, however in the US the device will likely retail for around a gigantic $10,000.
