Samsung at CES 2019: 219-Inch and 75-Inch Micro LED Ultra-HD TVs Demonstrated
Samsung showcased its new ultra-large television with a 219-inch diagonal at CES 2019. Dubbed “The Wall”, the TV uses the company’s Micro LED technology that offers very high brightness and deep inky blacks, essentially competing against OLED TVs when it comes to picture quality. Separately, Samsung introduced its 75-inch Micro LED Ultra-HD TV aimed at general consumers.
The new 219-inch “The Wall” TV features an unknown resolution that is higher than 4K as well as 2,000 nits brightness. The television runs an unknown Samsung processor (presumably a version of the company’s Quantum Processor 8K that powers QLED-based Q900-series 8K UHDTVs) that supports the manufacturer’s AI upscaling tech along with other premium capabilities. Just like the Q900, “The Wall” can blend with surroundings to match style of the interior, a feature that Samsung is especially proud of. The TV can be controlled using a special tablet.

If your McMansion has a 'great room' that is 2,000 square feet... Guess it's not too much.

If you have money, the Koreans are happy to help you spend it!

Cheers,

Holy shit.

Luckily for me I don’t have a wall that big that doesn’t already have a window, door, or some shit my wife considers “decor”.

No price and possibly available to select customers only.... I have the wall space for “The Wall” but I’m not special enough

Call up and explain that your are the PR agent for Brad Pitt and Mr. Pitt wants on of the sets....

I'm sure they will sell you one....

Damn the wall in the new house is a foot short!

 

[Sean the Nailer]

Much better off with one of the latest ceiling mount projectors. So very much better off.

 

[Geno C.]

Projectors are just never as bright.

 

[Major Wader]

Projectors are just never as bright.

Yup. So you sit in the dark to watch TV, and I fall asleep before whatever is on gets finished.

My friend has a projector in their "movie room" I would not want one.

 

[Geno C.]

I used to have a really nice one, 102” screen. Still just not up to the level of a good tv

I read that they will be for Commercial customers only to start and will likely run $100k or more.

Guess that means I’m not rich enough either ?

 

[buffalowinter]

I think I might get one and mount it to the ceiling above my bed and if i like it get another for my special room.

 

[THEIS]

Hi,

Would definitely be a great media screen for exhibition displays.
Better clarity and details than these things....

Sincerely,
Theis

This. Seen a lot of very large screens in conference rooms I'm not invited to sit down in, other special presentation space.

They can replace rear (or front!) projection systems so there's use for them, if you really have the need/money.

Yep, we gave ours away almost four years ago.
No regrets at all.

Maybe my eyes suck, but I personally can't tell the difference between 1080p and 4K resolution. Then again I'm an old school gamer and currently rocking a PC game from back in 1993 on my 1080p monitor. I'm so gangsta aren't I?

I can tell the difference, but only with top notch source. So much is streaming, etc. that who cares.

And... 1080? My setup is thrilling to most people, best HT they have seen, and it's 720p! Plasma! I have plasma still!

7.1 helps.

 

[Maser]

Plasma! I have plasma still!

I'm sure you're electric company loves you for using that still.

 

[shoobe01]

I thought that, but it draws less than you'd think. I have some metering on the power system and forget the numbers, but not that much. I ran it while on generator the other week, and it was never a problem, at all.

But, I also don't just leave it on to have artsy screensavers or ambient TV. Yeah, sometime we'll replace it, but currently the "plan" is the toddler will throw something through it.
