Samsung’s The Wall has been shown for several years now at shows, originally as a prototype technology display. It fits into a relatively new category that is being referred to as “Resimercial.” – A product that is sold not just in commercial settings but also into high end residential. The name – The Wall – implies the size, and the size is way larger than traditional LED/LCD TVs. The technology behind Samsung’s Wall is MicroLED.
More Sizes of The Wall Now Available
Samsung keeps expanding the number of sizes for The Wall. Originally the low res version (1080p), started at 110” diagonal, but now starts as low as 75” and 88” diagonal. Small units are fine, but, the real action is the larger sizes: The 146” is probably the most iconic. Check out this 146” in a bedroom. (I’m so jealous!). But a 219” or a 291”? We’re going way beyond amazing. I’ve been following The Wall’s development, and models for at least 4 years now.
The Wall configurations are truly, and almost mindbogglingly expensive! Definitely for the rich and famous. You can have a 140” projector/screen combination from well under $10K. But The Wall, comes in many configurations. Still the Minimum Advertised Price allowed (MAP) for the 146” is: (sitting down? – a good idea): $241,452. (Damn, that’s as much as buying a condo or small house!). BTW, the 2K version of the 146” is about half the cost.
Speaking of pricing, here are the base numbers for the really big ones (remember, many configurations – with different prices – are available). BTW Samsung uses both MSRP (list price), and MAP – which limits how low a reseller can advertise the product. Your actual price, therefore, could be well below the list price. (But still the price of a house!)
Please keep in mind this does not include installation – just the gear.
The standard 219” diagonal The Wall, (I can’t believe I just called 219” “standard”):
MSRP is $438,252.00, MAP $377,588.00
And the 291”:
MSRP: $595,537.00 MAP: $513,039.00
FYI: Special thanks and to the folks at LEDSolutionsNY.com (located in Brooklyn. They also sell competing products including Planar and Sony. They assisted me with gathering the pricing info. Thanks also to the folks at Samsung for providing additional info when requested.
Note, these are “base prices” you can spend a whole lot more in some configurations at these sizes. And then there’s the installation, shipping, optional extra or on-site warranties…
