What: LG DVLED Extreme Home Cinema Wall-sized Display
How much: HK$13.2 million (US$1.7 million)
Why: Straight off the bat, we can say that LG’s new DVLED Extreme Home Cinema Displays aren’t for your average homeowner. Designed specifically for high-end residential installations, the new 325-inch screen was released in September, and marks LG Electronics’ first foray into the super-luxury residential display segment.
Milan Design Week: 2022 will be the year of playful, colourful furniture
Take a moment to digest that headline number: the largest TV in the range is 325 inches diagonally. Its frame measures 7.2 metres by four metres and it weighs 1,000kg. It is gargantuan. And the installation requires, understandably, a professional LG field engineer. There is no packing this big boy in the boot of your car after a trip to the nearest electrical superstore.

The screen’s specifications, too, are nothing short of spectacular. The LG DVLED Extreme Home Cinema uses between two million and 33 million individual diodes – depending on the resolution – to deliver a plethora of performance features. Most significant is probably the Direct-View LED technology, which is fundamentally different from traditional LED TVs. Where they are all actually LCD TVs with LED backlighting, the Direct-View LED technology is created directly by all those LED diodes, providing higher contrast ratios and brightness.

If you’re in the market for an 8K model, the 325-inch is the only available size, but the LG DVLED Extreme Home Cinema range includes 16:9 displays in sizes ranging from 81 inches to the massive 325 for Full-HD and 4K options. There’s also an UltraStretch video wall-style installation that gives a 32:9 display, ideal for live sports or absolutely ridiculous TV gaming sessions.

C-Seed indoor TV

“Design is not simply art, it is elegance of function,” said Ferdinand Alexander Porsche. Having worked with the Porsche Design Studio on their 201-inch LED outdoor TV, C-Seed brought the same aesthetic to the world’s first foldable 165-inch MicroLED TV with Adaptive Gap Calibration Technology. That’s jargon for “makes the joins between the display’s wings invisible” – and looks stunning unfolding silently from the floor. HK$3.6 million (US$460,000)

The design language of the Beovision Contour comes from Torsten Valeur, of Copenhagen-based studio Valeur Designers, so expect Danish minimalism throughout, with an aluminium frame outlining the screen offered in silver, black anthracite and gold tone.
