LG has announced its first Direct View LED (DVLED) displays for high-end residential installations with home cinema screen sizes available from 81- up to 325-inches diagonal. The ‘LG DVLED Extreme Home Cinema’ line represents the company’s move into the “super-luxury residential display segment”.
By using up to 33 million individual diodes (depending on resolution), LG says it is delivering “superb performance with exceptional brightness” combined with improved lifespans, viewing angles and high color gamuts (even in rooms with windows and high ambient light). Direct View LED technology images – unlike LED TVs with backlights –  are created directly by LED diodes for high contrast and brightness. As well as 16:9 models, there are also UltraStretch options at 32:9 for applications such as live sports.

I really want these solutions to be home options right now. Unfortunately they’re all “if you have to ask, you can’t afford it” and a decade from being real options for the home enthusiast.

Totally agree. It would be great to have these systems replace projectors but you have to assume this is some way off. At least the revolution is starting though.

nothing surprising. the only alien tech to me falls just on the new “backlighting” term.
others are just theoretical stuff that can be figured out by video wall installers, 5×5 modular stacking of monitors/panels sized @ 65inch, video controller/processor that can split a video stream into 25parts to be fed into different monitors/panels... the only challenge, how to source a glass maker to produce a glass plane of such height or size or even in modular parts.

I even hate to ask how much this type of system is, lol. But even if it was somewhat reasonable in price then there is the issue of not being able to put speakers behind the screen. And even if they used the trick Sony dvd with the XBR55A9F OLED with a transducer using the screen as a speaker. It just wouldn't match what a really good speaker would give you. The idea is really cool to have a huge screen that doesn't need a projector. I would be willing to bet it stays very expensive for over 10 years.

Although Samsung, Sony and LG make these ultra large MicroLED displays available to the luxury buyers through their custom installation dealer channel this type of display is intended for large commercial signage.

LG's DVLED is very much like Samsung's Wall and Sony's Crystal LED displays that are also similarly priced.
