I WANT THIS NOW!!!!! LOL
Seriously, this is impressive and I'm looking forward to it coming to the consumer market.

I think in that case the real benefit would be if you moved....or rearranged your space and a bigger Tv would or could be advantageous.It's cool, but there are a few drawbacks for average TV buyers. Looks like it has to be wall mounted? Doesn't work so well with armoires with 18"+ in depth (wouldn't look right with the TV all the way in the back of the covered armoire) Also if you're just going to get one size and stick with it, I don't see the benefit of using small tiles versus buying one panel with the correct size to begin with. I wouldn't want the small cracks in between these panels unless I plan on creating funny shapes or continually modifying the size / shape. Very interesting tech however and the quality looks phenomenal!
Yeah, the small tiles don't interest me much. Bigger is always better imo as far as TVs go. Only one of our 4 TVs is mounted on a bracket in the corner of our room. The rest are on top of a TV table.It's cool, but there are a few drawbacks for average TV buyers. Looks like it has to be wall mounted?

Now I can replace a fraction of my TV.I WANT THIS NOW!!!!! LOL

Nothing stops you from creating a closer inside armoire wall. Although it seems really likely that a freestanding backplate would be available.
Really? Imagine a college kid / new graduate starting out with a small screen. Then she could add modules as she can afford them.
Even better, people could give modules as birthday / Christmas gifts, and she could grow her TV that way!![]()
You are a dream crusher well doneI know this seems like it's new but it's actually been around for quite a while. They are called LED walls and are used throughout cooperate AV, tradeshows, concerts, etc. Slightly different tech but really the same exact principle we have been using for years. Samsung is just making it for the average consumer vs the professional market. LED walls are modules stacked and linked together. A controler distributes the signal across the wall and there you have it. For instance, at CES, one the walls I built, on the smaller side - roughly 9' tall X 16' wide used 50 LED tiles. Each tile has 4 panels that can be popped out and replaced if pixels go bad or get damaged. It's cool but nothing new. Now the TV's that roll up, that's pretty bad ass.

Don't Samsung already make commercial display walls?
The title of the thread mentions the future which obviously implies it is "new". Yes, Samsung makes LED tiles but they don't have much market share.
