It appears that Samsung’s electronics wizards aren’t content with taking over your home one appliance at a time. Now, they want you to sacrifice an entire wall of your house to a TV, and frankly, they have a pretty good argument.
Who would have guessed Samsung would have more in store after announcing The Wall, a massive 219-inch TV?
But they did! Turns out they had plans for another 73 whole inches of screen, creating an absolutely ridiculous 292-inch TV, packed with tech: The Wall Luxury .
You know, just in case 219 inches wouldn’t mainline enough Game of Thrones into your living room during a good binge.

So, if you happen to have 292 inches of bare wall in your home that could really use a nice screen, what can you expect from The Wall Luxury?
Unveiled at InfoComm 2019, Samsung’s massive boob tube boasts not only full 8K resolution at that size, it promises to upscale regular TV to 8K. That’s due to an AI picture quality engine Samsung calls the Quantum Processor Flex that “analyzes millions of image data to automatically calibrate the original low resolution according to the modular screen resolution.” Okay then.
And just in case you don’t have quite that much space to devote to your screen, Samsung says The Wall Luxury is customizable and configurable.
Meaning you could make it as small as 73 inches and a mere 2K resolution. Regardless of the size, it has a depth of just 30mm, so it should pretty well just blend seamlessly with the wall behind it.
If you think The Wall Luxury might take over your life just a bit, Samsung saw you coming.
This beast is designed to not turn off, ever, thanks to 100,000-hour lifetime self-emitting diodes. There’s also an ambient mode where, if you’re not watching HGTV to see how the peasants live or racking up new high scores on your console, The Wall Luxury just generates artwork or photographs.
If you think The Wall Luxury might be too much TV for you to handle, well, take heart, you most likely can’t afford it anyway.
Technological marvels don’t just fall off trees, after all. And even though there’s no official price tag yet, since Samsung’s 98-inch QLED 8K TV retails for about $125,000 U.S., it’s fair to think that The Wall Luxury will really only be within reach for the upper-crusters who haven’t spent all their money on monocles and private jets.
