The size of 4 decently big screens tiled together into one panel? How many TVs that size can they sell?

Seems an expensive way to start divorce proceedings

55" is the MAX my living room could cope with

105"? Not big enough!

Make it taller LG and then I can use it as a wall of a room.

Assuming you live in a lighthouse......

Ah, yes, 21:9 4K movies, those things! Of course, all the films ever are in that kind of format aren't they? It's not like there's already an issue in terms of getting any sort of content in normal 4K or anything...

"the challenge of uneven backlighting on curved LCD panels was successfully addressed"

I would say the challenge of getting it through your door.....begins.

This'll cost as much as a small house I bet!

IMAX for your house ! - footballers please form an orderly queue...

Now make a computer monitor like that! (minus the ridonkulous size)

[VijaySathyan]

a special 'Quadmatic Picture Engine' for upscaling "all content in UHD-level picture quality".

By that do they mean, it can up-scale even 1080p content?

Well, they finally caught up to an average projector screen. Quite a feat, I'll give them that, but now that they've hit the 3 digits, just bumping up the size incrementally isn't going to impress me. I want a TV I can climb into for complete immersion

HTPC-style gaming rigs maybe? (Although one would need to utilise quite some graphic firepower for that...)

[pastymuncher]

Awesome screens but my wife would kill me if i went near one of them.

[DanceswithUnix]

Of course now I want to know...

What is the radius of curvature of these? Therefore, how many do you need to make a circle, how big would the room be, and how many graphics cards would you need to eyefinity the lot into a surround video wall

I have a wallpaper thats bigger than this and thats on my wall.
