I see an mitsubshi's 75 inch tv for 3k via amazon... so why 17.5k for this? >_

Other sites are reporting this as an OLED display, whereas Tom's is saying it's an LCD. OLED would make sense of the $17.5k price. Tom's seems to have got it wrong.

The bezel (or rather the near lack of a visible bezel) around the edges of the screen are what I'm most looking forward to coming to lower priced units. The gold color is a nice change from the usual black as well.

It is indeed an OLED screen, the worlds largest "super OLED TV" to be precise. "Additionally, the ES9000 OLED TV is equipped with Samsung’s new 1GHz dual-core chipset, which allows users to run multiple apps simultaneously for an uninterrupted experience." LOL my PC still only has 2 cores.
Additionally... "Because Super OLED technology features self-emitting RGB sub-pixels, which do not require a backlight, the TV weighs 30 percent less than a standard LED TV, and sports a sleek design thinner than 0.3 inches, which is one quarter of the thickness of a conventional LED TV."

Let me just add, I am purely interested in the technical details of this TV, I wouldn't ever be able to justify the price tag or size but I still think it's an impressive bit of kit.

lol. It's pixels must be the size of dinner plates.....

The TV itself looks quite nice, but 1080p is much to low of a resolution for a $17k 75" display.

 

[spookie]

Why is it still 1080p??? it just doesn't make sense in that price range

This.

looking forward to get donations for my next gaming rig with 5x1 Eyefinity setup of these ;D

$17.5K for a TV that still only has 1920x1080 pixels. Thin bezels that doesn't really matter in a TV environment since you aren't dual or tri-monitoring.

I can't believe anyone would buy this. Get yourself 6xCinema Display and you're set for anything.

They're probably aiming to sell these as status symbols more than anything else.

This way to big of a screen to be only 1080p. If it were OLED 4K HD, then the price at this point in time does make sense. It will come down eventually.

Biggest problem with a large screen at 1080p is they look very pixely close-up. And once I hook a computer to it, I still won't be able to read any fonts.

I have a Mitsubishi 73 inch 1080p TV and it's not pixelly up close. The Samsung however is OLED which wasn't reported by Tom's correctly. The res is going to be 3840x2160. Every other Tech site is reporting it as the Samsung ES9000 OLED TV. Tom's left off the OLED part why? No idea.

Cause the Mitsubishi is a DLP TV. I picked up their 60" 1080p for about $800 a while back and it's great, but not really the same as an OLED.

Don't repost the spam, FFS.

 

[heero yuy]

yup 1080 is a bit small for such a big screen
altho it does not appear to have much in the way of side trim... if someone makes something like this but monitor and smaller and cheaper so i can have 3...
anyway who cares about that screen...
i want that womans phone number D:
