After leaving the enormously packed LG area, I wandered toward<s>s<\/s> the Samsung display. Immediately, I knew something was going on \u2026 I couldn\u2019t get close to the entrance. After the usual bit of pushing and fighting the crowds I saw why. On display was the rumored 292-inch MicroLED (quantum dot) television called \u201cThe Wall.\u201d Upon first impression it was truly jaw-dropping. The more I watched I realized it wasn\u2019t perfect compared to an OLED set, but to the best of my memory I can\u2019t remember an OLED this\u00a0<em>huge<\/em>. Additionally, there is NO size limit \u2026 only the limit of the size of your wallet. I got to the front row and as I watched, the video of a semi-truck came roaring straight at me. While I knew it was only a video, I still found myself flinching when it sped directly toward me. It was that overwhelming. At this point, the size stops being a draw as no normal home would hold anything larger than that \u2026 and it\u2019d still have to be a large multi-story home. And to make a 1000-inch unit would need a stadium (current stadium screens are comparatively crude) and would actually be less impressive than standing 20 feet away from this particular \u201cWall.\u201d It represents a quantum shift in how we can view TVs \u2026 As the prices begin to drop these things will become more common. Oh yeah, it\u2019s going to take more than a few years, but the \u201cwriting is on the wall\u201d, so to speak.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As you look at the picture below, bear in mind the <em>entire<\/em> picture you&#8217;re seeing is the TV. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/thecaffeinatedgeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/20200107_115554-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1728\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thecaffeinatedgeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/20200107_115554-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/thecaffeinatedgeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/20200107_115554-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thecaffeinatedgeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/20200107_115554-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/thecaffeinatedgeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/20200107_115554-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/thecaffeinatedgeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/20200107_115554-2048x1152.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It\u2019s exceptionally odd when I find the winner of a CES show in just a few minutes, but, that\u2019s exactly what happened.
