LAS VEGAS--While claims of "world's biggest" have been quite liberally applied to many products at CES 2013, here is a product that is truly big: Samsung's 110-inch 4K television.

The TV dwarfs the UN85S9 announced earlier this week, but at this stage it is only a prototype. It shares the same design elements, though, with the tilt-back easel design and relatively slim bezel. I'm not sure what it is about 110 inches -- there are a lot of products that are the same size this year -- maybe it's the biggest size that will fit in a delivery van. Or something more arcane like the metric length of Henry VIII's forearm.

As a prototype it misses out on features like an upgraded smart TV suite and all of the other Samsung goodies announced this year.

The Samsung UN85S9 will be coming online in 2013, but don't expect to see the 110-incher for a while.
