Sony announced up to 16K modular TV screens for ultra-rich consumers

This system is designed using MicroLED panels which measure 16 x 18-inches and offer a resolution of 360×360, pixel brightness levels of 1,000 nits, 99% black surface levels, 10-bit colour support and 140% coverage of the sRGB colour space. These screens also support a refresh rate of 120Hz. 

Each MicroLED panel reportedly costs around $10,000 US, making a 1080p 110-inch setup £180,000, a 4K 220-inch setup $720,000 and a 16K 790-inch setup $5.76m. Sony’s MicroLED panels are designed to join together seamlessly, making the screen look like a large, singular panel.  

With this kind of pricing, Sony’s Crystal LED TV setups are designed exclusively for the multi-millionaire market. The kind of people that want a cinema room in their super-yacht. Previously, this screen technology was only sold to commercial customers.  

So, if you have a couple of million burning a hole in your pocket and you want to upgrade your home cinema setup, Sony now has a new option for you. Now the rest of us can wonder how long it will take for MicroLED TVs to reach affordable pricing levels for mainstream users.
