Samsung’s huge MicroLED TVs start at 110 inches and drop to 76

Samsung’s MicroLED televisions like The wall is one of the largest TVs in the area. The largest was a 292-inch sample consisting of individual modules that required custom installation and cost hundreds of thousands of dollars. The 2021 version is a MicroLED TV in fixed sizes of 110, 99, 88 and now 76 inches which costs a bit less but is still ridiculously expensive.

The 110-inch MicroLED launched in Korea last December cost 170 million won, or about $ 156,000 according to ZDNet – the same as a Bentley Bentayga. Today on his Unpack and discover virtual event the company added a size of 76 inches to the range, the smallest yet, to complement two more sizes, 99 and 88 inches, announced at CES in January. Everyone has 4K resolution.

Samsung says the 110- and 99-inch TVs will go on sale in the US in April, and then the US prices will be announced. The 88-inch size follows in the fall. The timing of the 76-inch size is vague, and Samsung says it will come sometime in the future. If you keep up, Samsung’s 98 Inch 8K TV costs $ 60,000 but uses it by default LCD-based QLED display technology, not MicroLED.

MicroLED – do not be confused with it Mini-LED – is the first new screen technology in a decade and is more similar to OLED than LCD. It delivers perfect black levels and high brightness because it uses millions of small LEDs to create the image directly, for image quality that is possibly better than OLED, the best currently available, without the possibility of fire in. It also looks much better than any other projector, especially in bright rooms or displays HDR material.

The 4K resolution of the “smaller” sizes is a bit of engineering, because the biggest obstacle in the face of the mass adoption of MicroLED is that it is small enough. Since the new model is prefabricated, ‘installation and calibration is streamlined’ compared to the previous modular version, according to Samsung. The 76-inch size is the smallest Samsung has ever achieved, although it is a 75-inch prototype in 2019.

The 110-inch MicroLED TV, meanwhile, is basically the size of four 55-inch TVs attached to each other, and with the feature called MultiView, you can connect multiple devices simultaneously and watch up to four things at once. Happy owners can “enjoy watching news, movies and other shows on one screen at the same time – so they can keep up with multiple sports at once, or stream through while playing a video game, all in beautiful quality and size,” according to release. MultiView is also available in the smaller versions.

In terms of design, the set is virtually full screen. Samsung has completely removed the edge of the screen and shown a screen-to-body ratio of 99.99%. The TV can also deliver 5.1 channel sound and contains object detection to track the sound of things moving across the screen.
