Samsung’s ’jigsaw’ TV

AN enormous television you can piece together like a jigsaw puzzle was among the gadgets revealed yesterday in the leadup to the world’s biggest technology show in Las Vegas.

Samsung’s 146-inch TV, aptly named The Wall, was created using new MicroLED technology designed to rival OLED TVs from LG and Sony.

In addition to the unique “modular” television that arrives in “tiles”, Samsung will also deliver 8K television screens – twice as sharp as today’s top models – that will upgrade existing TV shows and movies to better resolution using artificial intelligence.

The new 8K screens are expected to arrive in Australia in the second half of the year.

Samsung visual display president Jonghee Han said the company’s new flagship Wall screen was a “breakthrough” in television technology and could be customised to fit any lounge room.

“It can transform into any size and delivers incredible brightness, colour gamut, colour volume and black levels,” Mr Han said.

Samsung is due to launch The Wall in the US and South Korea this year. It has yet to announce an Australian date.
