LG have said that the first units will start shipping out this month, and there'll only be a handful available through the normal high-end sources sometime next month. LG's 84LM9600 is of course a Smart TV, featuring WiDi, a dual-core L9 processor, 2.2-channel speakers, Magic Remote and LG's passive glasses Cinema 3D technology.

As you're probably aware, there isn't much 4K content available, so LG have been displaying the set with normal 1080p content in order to showcase the company's "Resolution Upscaler Plus" capabilities. Engadget reports that they've seen the 4K set running 1080p content and it was "sharp and clear". LG will find competition in Sony's 84-inch 4K-capable TV.
