Konka launches tiled large microLED TV displays - with the 236" 8K one priced at $1.25 million

China-based display maker Konka launched tiled large micro-LED displays, under the APHAEA brand. These are modular displays (similar to Samsung's The Wall and Sony' Crystal LED displays) and Konka demonstrated several possible configurations - including 118" 4K and 236" 8K.

Konka already announced the prices of its new TVs - the 118" 4K one costs around $240,000 while the 236" 8K TV costs $1.25 million. For those that think that this is extremely expensive, Konka says that the cost is around 30% cheaper than a comparable Samsung The Wall TV (Samsung is not disclosing the prices of these tailor made displays).

 

Konka says that its Smart Wall APHAEA TVs feature a high brightness of 2,000 nits, a 10,000,000:1 contrast ratio and a wide color gamut. Each TVs features built-in 5G connectivity.

It is understood that Konka collaborated with Taiwan-based IC developer Macroblock on these displays.
