The more things change...
Was working a Samsung exhibit where they were showing off their latest TV, some quarter million dollar beast. Part of the price tag was delivery and installation, as there was just no way a mere mortal could install this.
The problem wasn't that it was heavy -- it wasn't. Just fragile. The TV was made up of an array of much smaller borderless panels.
Think they sold a few to a coupla professional football players.
- justinator 1y agoThe other takeaway was the price of the TV probably was going to be 10x less within 10 years.
- deadbabe 1y agoIt’s not that difficult, you’re just paying for “installation theatre” at that point, good for showing off on social media and getting some clout.
- mastercheif 1y agoSamsung microLED required professional installation until a year or two ago. It’s essentially a mini-JumboTron made of individual panels. They’ve managed to reduce down to four panels on brackets. If you want to install your $200,000 143” TV yourself here’s a video: https://youtu.be/oSpX2aZDPng https://youtu.be/oSpX2aZDPng
- justinator 1y agoInstallation and DELIVERY -- these "TVs" have more square footage than the room I sleep in. I've tired of scrolling, but do you see any installation vids? https://www.instagram.com/samsung https://www.instagram.com/samsung
