Samsung's giant TVs, dubbed "The Wall," will go on sale globally next month through a new "luxury" version, which buyers can customize from 73 inches in size all the way up to a monstrous 292 inches.
The company showed off the giant TVs, which are built with Samsung's MicroLED technology, at CES 2019. The microscopic light-emitting diodes in the screen are smaller than current LEDs, allowing them to produce truer colors and a more accurate picture quality over LCD screens.
The technology promises to rival OLED-powered TVs. But a big question has been when Samsung will actually make the MicroLED screens available; previously, only limited quantities had been up for sale. Now we have our answer.
Interested customers will be able to buy the giant TVs in different configurations up to 8K resolution (7,680 by 4,320 pixels.) The screens are also capable of a peak brightness at 2,000 nits and have a 120Hz refresh rate.

In addition, the MicroLEDs inside the TVs have a 100,000-hour lifetime, meaning you can run them for at least 11 years straight. "The Wall is designed to never turn off, but to change into a digital canvas best matching the owner's interior needs and personal mood," Samsung said in its press release. "When the screen is not used, the Ambient Mode can display a variety of curated art from paintings, photographs, and video art to customizable pictures with digital frames—that best suit the homeowner's tastes."
So how much does one cost? So far, Samsung has remained mum on the exact pricing, but you can expect them to be obscenely expensive. Previously, the company marketed the displays to corporations, museums, and for anyone wishing to enjoy "luxury living."
