The series of MicroLED TVs from Samsung should actually be expanded by a model with an 89-inch screen diagonal in 2022. Now the new device cannot go into production after all.
Gigantic in size – and just as expensive: the 89-inch MicroLED TV, which has now been postponed, could be the smallest model and the first in the series to retail for less than 100,000 euros. (Source: © Samsung)
- For 2022, Samsung already presented new MicroLED televisions at CES.
- The new generation of TV sets should be up to 114 inches in size.
- Now the production of the “small” 89-incher has been postponed for the time being.
Instead of May 2022, the production of the MicroLED television with an 89-inch screen diagonal from Samsung will probably only start in the third quarter of the year. This is what the Korean electrical industry medium The Elec reports – and also explains why it is so:
In contrast to the 99-inch model, which is based on the technology already used in the 110-inch from last year, the 89-inch version probably uses much more sensitive material, and delays may occur in its production.
The 101- and 114-inch models are also affected: These TV sets are also said to use the same LTPS-TFTs (small elements that make up the panels) as are used in the popular OLED displays comes.
Caution, difference: MicroLED is not MiniLED
There is obviously a risk of confusion between the terms MicroLED and MiniLED because both technologies come into play in the TV context: MiniLED TVs are LCD screen units with LED backlighting, while MicroLED technology uses tiny self-illuminating LED units and thus more like the structure of an OLED display.
If you don’t want to wait for the device, you can also find current television offers at Netzwelt.
