Go big or go home, as they say. Samsung is doing just that with the latest additions to its growing microLED TV lineup. The newest models include the 89-inch and 101-inch MS1B options, as well as the mammoth 114-inch MS1C Class TV, which all join the existing 110-inch model. Pricing starts at a cool $110,000.
Boasting minimalistic designs, these TVs function as statement pieces and entertainment portals that sit flush against the wall. Thanks to the Infinity Screen design, the picture beautifully blends in with the wall behind it, making these TVs part of your room’s decor.
Samsung’s microLED TVs, not surprisingly, feature all the bells and whistles you’d expect from high-end displays. They incorporate more than 8 million points of light through microscopic LEDs that radiate to display content of all types with great color, contrast, and brightness. Micro Color technology provides a natural, realistic look, with accurate reproduction of every shade of color imaginable.
With the advanced Micro AI processor, the TVs use artificial intelligence to upscale a picture to 4K resolution, even if you’re watching HD content or from an HD source.
What about audio? While you will likely want to add a soundbar or full home theater to accompany the display, you can also enjoy 3D Arena Sound from its own built-in, nearly invisible speakers. This includes built-in Dolby Atmos support, along with Object Tracking Sound Pro, which keeps the sound front and center no matter where you’re sitting or moving around in the room.
If you always find yourself cranking the volume late at night to hear dialogue, then fumbling to turn it back down during loud background scenes, here’s a feature you’ll appreciate: Active Voice Amplifier Pro uses AI to analyze and separate dialogue from background sounds. This way, you get a more balanced audio experience and can leave the remote off to the side while you focus on the screen.
Another neat feature is 4Vue for watching four screens at once. You can enjoy multiple sporting events during the Paris Olympics, or keep up to date on the score of the big game, along with the local news headlines, while watching your favorite TV show at the same time. With access to the Samsung Art Store, you can display collections from world-renowned galleries in Art Mode when you aren’t actively watching TV.
There’s also Samsung Gaming Hub for downtime and Samsung TV Plus for streaming free live TV channels, including thousands of movies and TV shows on demand. Shipping in sustainable packaging, the TVs also come with Samsung Knox, which protects your personal data.
First shown at CES 2024, these new microLED TVs, including the impressive 114-incher, along with an upcoming even larger model that spans 140 inches in size, join Samsung’s expansive display lineup that also includes new Neo QLED 4K and 8K TVs, along with its OLED TVs.
Instagram is making its way to yet another screen, and this time, Apple TV is getting a taste of the Reels rabbit hole. The company has launched a dedicated Instagram app for Apple TV, bringing Reels, longer videos, and live shows to the big screen. So, if watching one quick clip on a phone somehow turns into an hour of scrolling, there's now a much larger screen for that.
Instagram brings Reels and more to Apple TV
Audio-Technica, a brand well known for making some of the best studio and professional headphones on the market, has just come out with the ATH-AWX7000, which the company itself claims to be its "finest headphones ever." The new flagship closed-back headphone has debuted at an eye-watering price of $3,799. It combines hand-finished Japanese woodwork with a newly developed 58mm driver.
The earcups are made from Kiso cypress, a prized wood historically used for Shinto shrines and Buddhist temples. Each housing is finished by hand with traditional Echizen lacquer, which brings out the grain and is expected to darken over time. The frame and sliders are finished in a deep navy kachi-iro shade traditionally associated with samurai.
