The 75-inch version is a consumer sold Micro LED TV and will be released this year. In fact I'm hoping to get a review sample in a few months, which has got me seriously jazzed.I think what we really want to know is how close to consumer sold microLED at 65/75 inch. A year/two years longer? and at what price!!!!
These TVs will be big initially, partly because the trend is towards larger screens, and partly because it's difficult to make Micro LED smaller. Yes it's going to be expensive, but bleeding edge tech always is. Don't forget, the first 4K I reviewed was from LG and released towards the end of 2012. Back then it had a screen size of 84 inches and cost £23,000!I'll only get excited when it's at a "sensible" (sub £10k) price for 100 inch or size (<65"). Until then, no.
As a fan of projectors, the idea of a big 21:9 Micro LED screen instead has me very excited... once it reaches a sensible price of course.21:9 aspect ratio Micro LEDs might become interesting in a few years.
Let’s hope so....It will be interesting to get some idea of the cost of the new 75" MicroLED.
To put it into perspective, when Samsung beat LG in the race to make the first large screen OLED back in 2013 with the 55" KE55S9C, that had a price of £7,000. Six years later and a 55" OLED is now around £1,200 - a cost reduction of around 80%.
Even with the improvement in yields and the corresponding price reduction for OLED, a 77" OLED today costs around £6,000.
So I would be impressed if Samsung can get a 75" MicroLED anywhere near £10,000.
OTOH, you could get a 55" OLED for 2200-2500€ in September 2014, so the first year's price reduction was very quick in that case. One reason for Samsung dropping out of OLED, I'm sure.It will be interesting to get some idea of the cost of the new 75" MicroLED.

A modular design does mean you can choose different screen sizes, but the smallest screen size will depend on the number of pixels on each module. At present it looks like 75 inches is the smallest screen with a minimum of 4K resolution. My guess is the actual resolutions of the 88-, 93- and 110-inch versions are more than 4K but not enough to be classed as 8K, so they only accept up to 4K and scale to their native resolution. The 150- and 292-inch models are capable of native resolutions of at least 8K, and once again I'm betting the native resolution of the 292-inch model is actually more than 8K, but the display scales all content up to 8K to match its actual resolution. This is the only thing that makes sense if you constructing all these screen sizes using the same basic modules as building blocks.@Steve Withers Modular nature may mean we can choose our size in the future aka 58-60. I don’t want 8k so I hope 4k will remain in scope for 55/65/75... I will appreciate if you or Phil can confirm 4k will remain...
No burn-in but you need to stick it together like a jigsaw and at what cost??
Be interesting to see how many consumer versions they actually sell.
There are fixed screen sizes from 75 to 93 inches, but as far as I'm aware the panels are still composed of the modules.There are fixed size panels too, starting at 75”. It’s not all modular.

Yes, that correct. It's basically a Micro LED TV.But it’s delivered as one ‘piece’ so the consumer doesn’t have to put it together?
