Review of the largest TVs in the world for 2021

Every year the sizes of TVs are becoming larger. Modern models cannot be placed in every room. Most of them are designed for installation in halls or living rooms. In this article we will look at the largest TVs in the world. The devices are distinguished by their elegant design and versatility.

Panasonic TH-152UX1W 152″

This large screen is 3.6 m wide and 1.98 m high. The plasma panel with FullHD resolution supports the 3D effect and produces a clear, detailed and contrasting image.

Factors influencing the cost of a TV

Experts identify four key factors that determine the cost of a TV:

1. Size. Each person has his own idea of ​​a home TV receiver. Some buyers listen to the recommendations of specialists, carefully calculating the optimal diagonal of the TV receiver for their home. Other buyers consider a home TV only one that can fit through door/window openings: a standard doorway, two meters high, can accommodate a 152-inch TV receiver.

2. The presence of ultra-thin panels with a resolution of 4K or 5K: their picture performance is five times better than that of standard HD TVs.
3. The presence of a curved screen design that has support. To obtain the most realistic picture, manufacturers use a multiply increased number of pixels.
4. Availability of modern security/protection systems. Most expensive models of TV receivers are not afraid of rough mechanical influences and moisture.

A model with a curved UHD screen, an unusual stylish stand and a metal frame.

Built-in tuners receive any television signal. Acoustics with a subwoofer with a total power of 120 W produce surround clear sound.

The TV is controlled by remote control or smartphone, as well as by voice and gestures. There are all kinds of interfaces for connecting devices. The set includes two pairs of active 3D glasses. The TV, weighing 107 kg, sits on a table stand.

Pros:

• improved color rendering;

The most expensive luxury TVs

Let's look at the top 10 expensive TVs and explore what is causing such an inflated price.

Stuart Hughes Prestige HD Supreme Rose Edition – $2.25 million

Stuart Hughes Prestige HD Supreme Rose Edition TV

Why is it so expensive? It's all about the jewels and valuable materials that make up the design of the TV:

1. 28 kg of rose gold, which is placed around the screen. The minimum price for 1 gram of rose gold is 3 thousand rubles. At a minimum, 84 million rubles, or $1.3 million, were spent on gold.
2. 72 round diamonds of 1 carat. The minimum cost of 1 diamond of 1 carat is 30 thousand rubles. At a minimum, 3.2 million rubles, or $48.6 thousand, were spent on these precious stones.
3. Handmade crocodile leather is used. The minimum price for 10 cm is 25 rubles. This is the cost without taking into account the fact that the work is manual, that additional costs were incurred and without similar factors that directly affect the price. Therefore, the total cost of the cladding is more than 5 thousand rubles, or 77 dollars.
4. Amethysts and amber are also used along with diamonds. The minimum cost of amethyst is 650 rubles per 1 carat, amber - 195 rubles per 1 gram. Considering that the TV is strewn with them in large quantities, their total price is more than 50 thousand rubles, or $768.

Diagonal - 55 inches. Screen technology: plasma.

Many specific technical characteristics are unknown because the design has relegated them to the background. However, it is known that the TV of this model:

1. High image clarity.
2. Good sound quality.

Year of release: 2010.

Pros:

1. The prestige of TV. It will not go unnoticed even when turned off.
2. It is convenient to use as a home theater because it has good picture and sound quality, and it is best to watch TV in a dark room.

Minuses:

1. In daylight, this TV is uncomfortable to watch - the sun reflects the rays from the precious stones and blinds the eyes.
2. Unstable design - despite the durable materials, the TV sits on a thin “leg”, which is attached to a wide stand. If your pet decides to knock the TV onto the floor, he will be able to do it.
3. Difficult to clean. If you do not promptly clean the stones and leather surrounding the screen, they will look worse over time. Precious stones and crocodile skin require special care products and additional tools: brush, gloves, microfiber cloth.

Interesting fact: the buttons on the TV are made of diamonds.

Titan Zeus - $1.6 million

TV Titan Zeus

Why is it so expensive:

1. Innovative technologies. To make this TV, Titan not only studied the latest technological discoveries, but also contributed to the development of technology. Moreover, she is still experimenting and creating televisions for different areas: waterproof for a swimming pool, curved for the deck of a yacht on which the sun shines, specialized for roof terraces.
2. Size and difficulties with delivery and installation. The total cost includes not only the Titan Zeus TV itself, but also its delivery on a Hummer SUV, which was produced exclusively for this purpose, as well as its installation in any place indicated by the buyer.

2. Thanks to the scale of the TV, you can watch it even from a long distance and use it as a home theater.
3. The TV can be controlled using emotions and gestures.
4. The company that creates these TVs is open to customer suggestions. She doesn't churn out the same type for every client. If the customer wants something interesting, then by presenting his idea and financing it, he will get what he wanted.

Minuses:

1. Not suitable for small rooms.
2. It is difficult to move because it weighs almost 1 ton.

Interesting Facts:

1. Titan Zeus is the largest TV in the world. If you place an adult elephant next to him in profile, he will only occupy ¼ of the screen area. Figuratively speaking, TV consists of 4 elephants.
2. Despite the fact that this TV itself is huge, Titan understands that not all consumers of their products like to make 5-8 meter ceilings in their house or apartment, and to be competitive, they offer customers 4 variations of different sizes: 173, 196, 251 and 370 inches.
3. The TV is made by hand. The parts are assembled like a construction set. But the quality does not suffer from this.

Pros:

2. Instant response, due to which the image on the TV loads quickly.
3. Works stably with Wi-Fi.

Minuses:

1. If alcohol gets on the edges of the TV or if they are cleaned with a standard leather cleaner, the color will become dull and the top layer of crocodile leather will wear off, causing dirt to stick. As a result, the leather will deteriorate, and replacing it will be quite difficult.
2. If a user cleanses his skin with one product and gemstones with another, he must be careful to ensure that these products do not mix. Crocodile skin and jewelry are capricious, so it is not difficult to mutilate them even in this simple way.

The diagonal size of the TVs presented below is almost 120 cm, but they cost up to 40,000 rubles.

They have built-in modules for receiving broadcasts via cable, satellite and antenna; broadcasts can easily be recorded on an external hard drive.

Samsung's market positioning and plans

Samsung has divided the entire The Wall series into two separate lines - Luxury and Pro, where the first is aimed at ordinary consumers, and the second is aimed at the corporate segment of the market. At the same time, the company did not go into detail about the differences between them; it did not specify which of the two lines each of the demonstrated TVs belonged to. It is possible that such a division is a foundation for the future, in which there may be more The Wall TVs.

Samsung understands that there will not be a huge demand for the current The Wall models - first of all because of their size and cost, and secondly because of the limited geography of distribution. However, the company still has certain plans for sales.

Sethi, vice president of Samsung India for consumer electronics , the company plans to sell 25-30 such TVs by the end of 2021. “We are confident of stable demand for The Wall TVs in India. There are 140 billionaires and more than 950 multimillionaires in this country,” Sethi noted.

Samsung's plans include increasing sales of The Wall - from 25-30 TVs in 2021 to 100 units by the end of 2021. Punit Sethi also suggested that by the end of 2022 the total number of units sold will reach 200.
