Bling. Bling.
Stuart Hughes is the company responsible for bringing you the world's most expensive game console -- a Wii containing 2,500 grams of solid 22ct gold with diamond buttons -- and a number of gold-diamond cell phones, including a BlackBerry and an iPhone. SH's latest products are luxury televisions that range from $1.5 million to $2.25 million.
Hughes’ new luxury line starts with two 55-inch TV sets, the PrestigeHD Supreme Rose edition and the PrestigeHD Supreme. BornRich.org writes that the PrestigeHD Supreme boasts a base and outer frame done in 22ct gold and encrusted with 48 diamonds with the remaining area set with Aventurine and Topaz. The inner screen bezel is made up from alligator skin and the price tag is roughly $1.5 million.
Even more expensive is the Supreme Rose edition. True to its name, the base outer frame of the Supreme Rose edition are crafted in 28 kilograms of solid 18ct rose gold. The frame contains 72 round cut 1ct diamonds, and left over space is set with Sunstone and Amethyst. The Rose edition gets the alligator treatment too, with hand stitched alligator skin making up the inner bezel. The Rose edition is $2.25 million.
Both of these TVs are manufactured by PrestigeHD using Metz technology. With their sky-high pricetags, these are said to be the most expensive TVs in the world.

why
Is it just me or do these tv's look really ugly...
why
Why not?
T&C - For the WEALTHY only, not rich
How bout instead of spending $2.25 Million on a 55" tv- they spend $1 to $2,000 on a normal tv and donate the rest to a charity?
They better find a way to replace the glass screen to diamond.
With $2.25M I would contract some research lab to genetically engineer a breed of borderless 96" Samsung LED/LDC's with DP inputs for some mad Eyefinity... Then buy a house to put them in. And have some left over for forthmeal.
@ Tohos: Is it just me or do these tv's look really ugly..
I think its ugly too.
Let me see, hmm..... Should I buy a lamborghini, a mansion, a jetpack, and leave some money in the bank....??? Neah, I think i'll buy a tv with gold boarders and some diamonds in it to impress my fake shallow friends.
step 1) buy helecopter
step 2) buy 2.25mil tv
step 3) hook tv to the helicopter
step 4) fly to an altitude of 6000ft
step 5) jump from heli and open parachute
step 6) rough surface
/just cause 2 reference
they look nasty and shiny- too distracting. give me a plain black, non-distracting bezel any day. I'm watching the screen not the bezel!
Expensive toys of the rich and famous.
I thought the most expensive tv was the jumbo-tron in the new Cowboy's stadium. I saw a video of some construction workers playing halo on it.
Do they even do 3D? Why stop at 55"?
$2.25 mill for 55" HDTV. No way!
At prices like this I wouldn't settle for less than 65" so no sale to me!
Even if you are wealthy, those TV's are ugly as sin. A 108" Plasma is the way to go to brag about wealth.
More proof that money doesn't buy taste. Or class.
Let me see, hmm..... Should I buy a lamborghini, a mansion, a jetpack, and leave some money in the bank....??? Neah, I think i'll buy a tv with gold boarders and some diamonds in it to impress my fake shallow friends.
I'm sure the people in the market for this kind of extravagance already have a full array of toys, cars, etc.
I wonder if anyone who makes that kind of money has the time or interest in TV enough to watch one... maybe it is just for their housewives / husbands or mistresses.
what moron would buy this....
even if I had the money....no way I would spend it on this crap.
I don't think this really counts as the most expensive. It's a regular tv, with a bunch of jewels on it. Using that standard I could make the world's most expensive piece of shit by simply throwing a handful of diamonds on top of it. It's the diamonds, not the tv, that is expensive. I expected to see a 200" OLED monster or something.
Clearly, the rich wouldnt buy this garbage because they get more back through tax returns if they spend that much money on charity...
so i would say, FAIL !!!!
but wait, there are rich people in UAE who spent 30 million dollars on number plates of their car to show how rich they are because they dont get tax...
are you sure these are not made by Apple?!
Some people just have too much money... I can truly say i would never buy something like this, It is god aweful ugly and purely just to say "i have infinite $". If i had this type of money I would splurge on a movie room that costs 500k (or less/more... top of the line, less the gold and diamonds)
Not even close...

Jerry Jones dropped about 40 million tax-dollars on his 12,000 sqft 1080p screen that hangs in the new Texas Stadium.
Yawn
Umm... Wondering whether I will watch TV or watch "TV?"
Dunno who annoy's me more, the TV's designer or the people stupid enough to buy it
isnt it wonderful to live in a country where we can make such expensive crap that's worthless at the same time? What do you do when it becomes obsolete and you want to upgrade? Melt it down and pull out the gems and put them in some sort of jewelery?
That had better come with at least ten full time strippers and a few thousand bottles of liquor and fine wines. Migh as well toss in a bugatti veyron while they're at it.
Ok... so the article has no technical details on the TVs? So we'll never know the quality or technology used? On a tech site?
I wouldn't buy such garbage even if I did have the money. The newer, and expensive in my pay charts, TVs that are super thin would be in my sights.
Shaq is rich. The man that signs his check is wealthy.
There is a difference.
