“The picture’s crystal clear and everything is magnified.“
Samsun’g got something special in store for CES-goers. A gigantic, 146-inch flatscreen television they’ve dubbed “The Wall“. Yes, I spent several minutes trying to make a Pink Floyd reference fit. I just couldn’t do it. I won’t be getting any pudding.
Samsung’s “The Wall,” a 146-inch modular TV with MicroLED technology delivers incredible definition, without restrictions to size, resolution or form. It is a self-emitting TV with micrometer (µm) scale LEDs – which are much smaller than current LEDs, and serve as their own source of light.
The MicroLED technology featured in The Wall eliminates the need for color filters or backlight, yet allows the screen to offer consumers the ultimate viewing experience. Also, the MicroLED screen excels in durability and effectiveness, including luminous efficiency, the light source lifetime and power consumption, setting the standard for future screen technology.
Featuring a module-based, bezel-less design, “The Wall” also exemplifies how consumers can customize their television sizes and shapes to suit their needs. The screen can adapt to serve different purposes, such as creating a wall-size display for multiple spaces.
Aside from being ginormous and incredibly sharp, The Wall has other features. Among them, 8K AI technology, which scales standard definition content to 8K resolution via a process I don’t understand. It’ll also include Samsung’s Bixby, SmartThings and Universal Guide.
While it’s undeniably cool, and offers an impressively sharp picture, I think people are going to have a difficult time just installing it. 146 inches is the diagonal measurement, true, but that means The Wall is still a sizeable piece of kit. It may not be simple to fit in your house, but still, undeniably cool. Bet ya it makes the ol’ vidya look spectacular.
