Summary

Samsung says its MicroLED TV will now be available in three new “consumer-friendly” sizes of 110, 101, and 89 inches.I’m obviously excited about these TVs for a number of reasons (they serve as incubators that will help develop several new technologies like MicroLED) but I don’t think most of the world is ready for them - myself included.So what’s the problem with bigger-screen TVs? The 77-inch G1 OLED from last year is currently selling for $3,999 / £4,799 (around AU$6,000), which means the 97-inch will probably be double or triple the cost considering how much harder it is to produce OLEDs in the new larger screen size.Heck, even the more consumer-friendly TCL XXL Series isn’t all that easy on the budget. So far we’ve seen that the 98-inch R754 QLED TV costs $7,999 (around £5,900, AU$11,200), and that’s before you factor in a warranty and setup.No matter how you slice it, these TVs are going to be expensive, at least for the foreseeable future.OK, so 100-inch TVs probably aren’t the ideal solution for most folks due to the price and size restrictions, but you know what might work? You will miss out on the color vibrancy of an equivalent QLED TV, but there’s no way you’ll be able to get anywhere close to this screen size for that price.Admittedly, there are some conceptual designs that should solve the space issue I’ve pointed out - like LG’s new rollable OLED TV - but those aren’t quite ready for the mainstream yet.Ultimately, there’s always a trade-off to make when buying a new technology.
