Every year, major tech companies will try their hardest to out-dazzle each other at the International Consumer Electronics Show. It's kind of like what the video games industry does at E3, but with fewer cringe-worthy attempts to be hip and trendy.
And this year, Samsung seemed to give their TV competition a run for their money, or at least for their measuring tapes.
That's because, as Business Insider reported, The Wall's newest incarnation clocks in at a whopping 219 inches in width.
Anyone holding an eight-player Smash Bros. party should have no trouble telling who is fighting whom with one of these.
But not only would that be surprisingly easy in this case, but a room big enough to make watching a 219-inch TV feasible wouldn't need a matching giant doorway.
According to Business Insider, this means that the TV isn't made of one big screen so much as a series of small panels that can be connected to form the monster unit.
As Fortune reported, the modular setup allows users to adjust it into whatever shape they desire.
Once they do, the modules are supposed to automatically adapt to any changes made.
The screen can be set to display a custom picture while it's in the "off" position, so if users want to make it look like a piece of art like the one shown above, they can.
As Business Insider reported, it's possible to make the screen blend into the background by displaying textured material. It'll be like it's wearing camouflage.
Trying to predict the future is always a risky move, but it's hard to imagine a more futuristic way to experience something like this without inventing the holodeck or something.
So we should probably take that "consumer-friendly" talk as a hint that a 219-inch modular TV probably isn't most people's idea of "cheap."
It seems like a good guess.
And as fun as describing that sort of thing with a bunch of numbers and buzzwords is, it's probably better just to let you see it for yourself.
