Not one to leave all the wall-sized display fun to Samsung, LG has unveiled its own 325-inch monster, the Direct View LED (DVLED) Extreme Home Cinema With its room-viewing size and LG's proprietary LED-as-pixel display technology, the new DVLED Extreme Home Theater rivals Samsung's The Wall and looks familiar, right down to the outrageous price

But LG's new super-sized home theater is not just for the super-rich Nor are they the ultra-slim displays that LG OLEDs are known for The largest 325-inch 8K model weighs a whopping 2,222 pounds (236 feet wide and 133 feet tall with 33 million LEDs) Available in a variety of screen size and resolution options, DVLED displays will also be sold in many off-the-shelf sizes that do not carry the same premium price

DVLEDs are available in several resolution options (Full HD, 4K, 8K) and sizes ranging from a modest 81" to 215" in Full HD, 163" to 325" in 4K resolution, and a single 325" 8K model Several aspect ratios are also available, from the standard 16:9 to the ultra-wide 32:9 "ultra-stretch" format, which doubles the width, allowing two 2K or 4K displays side by side for a dual-screen effect

Like Samsung's The Wall, the new LG DVLED models use micro-LED technology as individual pixels to ensure that the display does not suffer from the common problems of OLED-like contrast and black levels, pixel-perfect lighting control, burn-in and viewing angle limitations This enables them to deliver ultra-brightness and vivid color without the common problems of burn-in and viewing angle limitations of OLEDs (LG's luxury-class Super TVs include an ATA-certified flight case for storing and transporting the ultra-large TV (which appears to be a modular design), a separate box that controls custom panel configurations and provides webOS Smart TV functionality, and a five-year extended warranty, three-year Premium support and warranty package that includes a 5-year extended warranty, 3-year Total Care Health Check, and 3-year Connected Care subscription (Micro-LED vs OLED TV: Which TV tech will win?

This benefits package alone is estimated by LG to be worth $30,000 This benefit package alone is estimated by LG to be worth $30,000, and if they are offering this for free, it is fair to assume that it is unaffordable to the average person The largest 325-inch 8K model is no joke and sells for $17 million

It is worth remembering that this type of display is essentially a commercial billboard repackaged and sold as ultra-premium home theater equipment, so it is not as straightforward as you would get with a top-of-the-line 85-inch TV Because DVLED sets do not operate like standard TVs, on-site training will be provided by LG's certified field engineers

Unfortunately, the customizable Direct View LED (DVLED) Extreme Home Cinema needs to be custom configured, so we don't have definitive numbers on the smaller models But if you're in the mood for a huge TV and can afford a truly exorbitant price, you can sign up on LG's website and get your very own TV
