Well then Samsung needs to include the necessary silverware. Maybe they could throw in a complete set including spoons, knives, and BOTH sorts of forks.
I have always hated the line "If you have to ask, you can't afford it!" To me that just says, "We added such a mark-up, that anyone who understands HW costs, will become enraged at the number."
I don't care how rich I become, I'm always going to want to know what it cost! Just because you have money doesn't mean you can't be semi-frugal.
I think the target market for these will not likely be people buying for persoanl use. The 583 inch model is over 48.5 feet of diagonal. The smallest option is still 75 inches which is over 6 feet. Buyers will probably be few in number. In B2B sales, quotes after an inquiry are the way of things so sometimes prices are not even published to the public at large.
As many rich people have told me "being Semi-frugal" is what keeps you rich.
Instead of lotto winners who go broke in 5 years because they are buying everybody and their mum's cars and house and not actually investing to generate money.
A lot of "old money" actually spend very little of it ever because it's not in their nature. But then they have kids that get spoiled and pampered with lavish luxury who end up not having any clue how much money they're throwing around. Old man dies, it all turns into a shit show.
Excuse me?! Show me the "old" money Vanderbildts, Kluges, Hartfords, Rockefellers. They had billions then and squandered them all. As the saying goes, the first generation makes it, the second generation spends it, and the third generation blows it.
Well it's tiles so they can put together as many as they want, each tile is 31.75 x 17.86 inches. So 4x4 for 146", 16x16 for 292", 64*64 for 583", just add a bigger signal splitter. Oh and unless they prices have changed recently it's about $16k/tile meaning the 583 inch bad boy can be yours for like $65 million give or take. It makes even the most expensive OLED seem cheap...
Not sure about that last line. Even if I was worth 50M$ and had a 1M$ budget for a new TV I'd ask for the price. How do you write the check or do the bank transfer?
As a bonus, the power bill for it will be only slightly less affordable than the screen itself. As a further bonus, you probably won't ever again need a space heater. On the flip side, for those hot days you might want to invest in a few additional air conditioner systems...
I'm not buying it. There is nothing to watch on TV anyway, on any of the thousand channels, just garbage (ok, maybe some good stuff on history channel).

How long before movie theatres start replacing screens+projector with these kinds of things?Would it be more power efficient than a laser projector? Should have better brightness/contrast controls compared to a projector, no?

Samsung already does this. They market it as the "Onyx" screen https://displaysolutions.samsung.com/led-signage/o...Star Cinema in Houston, TX has one.
