Also dubbed "The Wall", Samsung's innovative TV uses MicroLED technology to deliver an amazingly rich 146-inch picture.
Samsung Electronics launched "The Frame" lineup past year.
Taken at its word, MicroLED should combine the benefits of both current panel technologies into one - all while dodging their weaknesses. But a TV that rolls out like a poster from a relatively small rectangular box is new, and it's only possible with a flexible OLED display.
MicroLED is a self-emitting technology. The Wall is possibly the first large television from this or any brand to, supposedly, come equipped with a technology called modular Micro LED, in which LEDs on the display can be lit up individually with colors appearing more vibrant than ever before and with ideal infinite contrast due to a complete lack of backlight technology. The Wall also doesn't have any bezels and all the panels fit together seamlessly.
In the commercial version, the modular LED technology is often used to create unusual shapes for signage, but that's generally for companies that create their own content, and not what is used in the home. What's more, an early report by CNET states that the seams between modules isn't visible, unlike other modular large form factor displays. This indicates the stiff competition between QLED TV makers and AMOLED TV makers will continue.

It was particularly focused in the presentation by Dinesh Paliwal, president and CEO of Harman, a company once in the business of audio for the home and the auto, but acquired in November 2016 by Samsung and refocused on the many challenges of self-driving vehicles. It's an interesting technology, but mostly suited for viewing in very dark rooms.
Considering 4K content is only just taking off, several years after the first screens arrived, it's likely 8K displays will appear long before we're ready for 8K content. But I was interested to see a couple of vendors, such as Stream TV and Changhong (working with technology from MirraViz), pushing glasses-free 3DTVs.
Though, LG has still not proposed a price line for its brand new model- 88-inch 8K TV (OLED) television, but we can surely believe to see this 1 expense tens of 1000's of dollars, which is quite a fair deal. "Of course, The Wall will probably be insanely expensive, but they say it's coming out this year and it's really cool".
Lastly, the new QLED TV categorizes elements of picture quality (black/blooming/brightness) in input sources by scene to produce pictures with richer and more detailed contrast.
