LG launches monster 325-inch 8K TV — and it will smash your Eskom bill

South Korean electronics company LG has unveiled its biggest TV yet for home users — the Direct View LED (DVLED) Extreme Home Cinema Display.

Like Samsung's The Wall TV, the display is modular and made up of several panels, allowing it to be scaled from 81 inches to 325 inches, with resolutions ranging from 2K FHD to 8K UHD.

The company estimates that the installation, warranty, and support offered with the TVs alone are worth $30,000 (R430,248), so it’s likely the displays won’t come cheap.

Plus about another R5 million for new house with high ceilings, judging by the pictures.

Nope, you'd generally need a special connection from Eskom just for this unit as a residential connection is generally only 80A and this will suck up pretty much all of it.
