CES 2024, which was held a few days ago, was filled with giant TVs. And some of the biggest and most impressive TVs were showcased by Samsung. Apart from its new QLED and Neo QLED TV lineup with sizes up to 98 inches, Samsung also had some impressively huge 140-inch TVs on display at its booth, and we had a chance to check them out.
Experience Samsung’s giant 140-inch Micro LED TV at CES 2024
Samsung showcased its new Micro LED TV lineup, which comes in five ready-to-use sizes: 76-inch, 89-inch, 101-inch, 114-inch, and 140-inch. Of course, it is a modular TV that can be made to order. This means you can use multiple micro LED panels to create a display/TV of any size and shape. Of course, driving is something else entirely. Samsung hasn’t disclosed pricing, but if history is any guide, the smallest of these TVs will cost several thousand dollars. Watch a hands-on video of Samsung’s latest Micro LED TV in the video below.
Micro-LED is a self-emissive display technology similar to OLED and QD-OLED. As explained in this article, this means that each pixel on this TV can generate its own backlight and color. As such, it doesn’t require a separate backlight, allowing you to get perfect blacks without all the drawbacks of OLED TVs (like burn-in and persistent brightness loss). Additionally, these TVs are very bright, giving you great HDR results. It features 4K resolution and is available in 120Hz and 240Hz versions. Samsung also said these TVs now use a more enhanced and reliable manufacturing process that the company calls “laser lift-off.”
The audio on these TVs comes from speakers embedded behind the display panel, giving the impression that the sound is coming from the scene itself. The new lineup of out-of-the-box TV models features Samsung’s Infinity Air design, which gives the TV the appearance of floating in mid-air above the stand. For some reason, Samsung did not display the 50-inch and 63-inch Micro LED TVs it showed at CES 2023 last year.
Samsung also unveils a prototype transparent micro LED TV
Samsung also showcased transparent micro-LED TV panels at CES 2024. This is a see-through micro LED panel manufactured using a different process. It is not ready for sale yet, but may be released in the future. However, it targets his B2B (business-to-business) segments such as retail stores and advertising. Samsung’s transparent Micro LED TV can be seen in the hands-on video below.
