Samsung has shown off a new, 75-inch MicroLED TV at CES 2019. The modular display is the smallest 4K MicroLED display Samsung has ever shown off ahead of its first MicroLED TV release sometime in 2019.

Little else is known about the product; we’re yet to see a price or any other specs. The big draw is the technology itself. MicroLED is in its infancy right now but it’s anticipated to overtake OLED in the future as it includes several advantages.

MicroLED screens are made up of millions of tiny light-emitting LEDs, meaning there’s no need for a dedicated backlight. So MicroLED displays can be as thin and light as OLED screens, but they’re also said to be brighter and longer-lasting. They don’t burn-in in the same way, either.

But possibly the biggest benefit of MicroLED tech is its modularity. You can build these screens to be (almost) as large or small as you like, as they comprise several square panels, as well as building them in unconventional aspect ratios (though I’m not sure why you would). Presumably, Samsung will sell individual square panels at some point so you can add them to your existing MicroLED if you want something larger.

Editor's Pick The best 75-inch TVs: What are your options? You're finally ready for the big time. You have the room, the home theater system, and the wall space to accommodate a behemoth 75-inch TV. You also have deeper pockets, because 75-inch TVs are far …

This also means each individual display is bezel-less, though you will see a seam if you’re standing close to the screen.

Though Samsung intends to release microLED displays to the public in 2019, we don’t know if this exact 75-inch model will be on sale. Whatever form it takes, the first few generations of these displays are likely to be incredibly expensive — The Verge suggests MicroLED TV sets like this one would cost “tens of thousands of dollars.” Yikes.

Samsung is also showing off a 219-inch MicroLED TV, based on the same tech, at the Las Vegas tradeshow. If you want to learn more about that, hit the previous link.
