Since the first TV was made available to the public some 85 years ago, manufacturers have continued to refine the technology, always striving to improve two main metrics: Screen size and picture quality.

At 110-inches on the diagonal, the Samsung UN110S9 is the largest production LED TV in the world. 110 inches x UHD resolution = a viewing experience that you have to see to believe. Samsung hasn’t officially announced price or availability, but were guessing it’s going to be somewhere in the ballpark of “If you have to ask…”
