Hughes Unveils World’s Most Expensive TVs

Posted on 15 March 2010 by jjkomplett in News, Products

Now while we here at Komplett Towers may not find ourselves on BornRich.org often, today we had to check out its report that the most expensive TV sets in history have been created by designer Stuart Hughes. His line of PrestigeHD Supreme Rose edition and PrestigeHD Supreme are diamond encrusted and cost $1.5 to $2.25 million (€1.65 to €2.46 million).

Coming soon to an episode of Cribs… the Supreme Rose.

For those still interested, the 55-inch LED backlit screen Rose edition is the pricier one with the base and outer frame crafted in “28 kilograms of solid 18ct rose gold, and adorned with 72 brilliant round cut 1ct flawless diamonds on the frame, with the remaining area set with Sunstone and Amethyst”. All that pales in comparison to our favourite detail though… the inner screen layer is made up from alligator skin, all hand sewn. Oh yeah.

The other ‘cheaper’ $1.5 million option model boasts an almost similar make with the base and outer frame done in 22ct gold and encrusted with 48 diamonds with the remaining area set with Aventurine and Topaz. Both the sets are powered by the technology from Metz and manufactured by Swiss company, PrestigeHD.

We await Hughes’ inevitable 3D version with ivory frames coming as standard.

    I don’t know, 55-inch seems a little small.

    Yeah, flawless diamonds tend to be a little showy as well. I mean, maybe for 1.25 million but 1.5 is taking the piss.

    Ok so you show off your over priced TV to friends and family (While your newly hired security guards look on) only to turn on the living room light and everyone goes blind from the light reflecting off of the diamond edges.
