The Kings of Indoor TVs: Samsung’s The Wall and Sony’s Crystal LED
Samsung’s The Wall and Sony’s Crystal LED are the biggest displays in the business, and they get larger than most people can picture. Sony let us configure a Crystal LED wall up to 960 inches diagonal. They are not sold as a 90-inch or a 110-inch model — they arrive as cabinets that tile together, so the size of the screen is a decision you make about the room rather than a box you pick off a spec sheet.
It isn’t just their size that’s great — they look fantastic too. Both use MicroLED, where every pixel is its own light source. That gives you the brightness and longevity of LED with the per-pixel contrast of OLED, and a picture that holds up from any angle and in a bright room. It is the one display technology that can go this large without asking you to darken the room like a dedicated theater.
The King of Outdoor TVs: C SEED
Turn your outdoor sitting area into a summer-night theater at the press of a button. Or throw a sports pool party and unfold your TV to watch your favorite team rein in the game. C SEED builds the largest outdoor television there is, at 201 inches.
This is a very cool product that rises up and unfolds to provide an unparalleled viewing experience — and then disappears entirely when it isn’t in use. Nothing sits in the middle of your view of the garden for the eleven months a year you are not watching a match outside.
If you like the concept, they also make an indoor version up to 165 inches.
Is It the Right Size for the Room?
We love large TVs just as much as the next person, but bigger is not automatically better. Too much screen for the seating distance leads to neck and eye fatigue — you end up scanning the picture instead of watching it. We have a formula we use to work out the most comfortable size for a given room, and it starts with where people actually sit, not with the largest display that will fit on the wall.
Daylight, wall structure, and what you watch matter just as much. A screen this size is a piece of architecture: it needs a wall that can carry it, power and signal run to the right place, and a plan for what the room looks like when the display is off.

If a wall this size is more than the room needs, the same planning applies one tier down — see dedicated theaters for projector-scale pictures, or hidden TVs for a screen that leaves the room when it’s off. Everything we install is covered on the home theater page.
