Look at this utterly massive TV. TCL has somehow managed to go even crazier than Samsung on the show floor at CES, showcasing this 110-inch curved 4K televison. And you might consider that strange since Samsung has a 110-incher of its own. But TCL had the Guiness Book of World Records come out to take a measurement and confirm that its huge curved thing is slightly bigger than Samsung's huge curved thing.
Will you ever be able to buy one? Unlikely. There's no pricing or availability information to speak of. Would it even fit in your house? Through what door? No matter. This is what CES is all about. Anything Samsung or any other tech stalwart can do, there's a smaller competitor trying to best them and stand out in this enormous crowd. With a curvature of 7000R, TCL says it's humongous TV has such a dramatic picture depth that it approaches glasses-free 3D. Sure, it looks pretty okay, but totally impractical for most people. Still. Just look at this thing.

My 150 euro HD DBPower LED Projector is much better and more practical purchase

Here FTFY
You’re comparing a cheap 1280×768 "LED" projector to a 110" 4k TV. I highly doubt you were serious.

It costs about 1/100th of the expected price of this tv and still gives a pretty decent picture of 120inches .
I never said its picture quality is better than or anything like that. Just that given its price it is a much more practical purchase and good enough for most people

Dont lie. Your original post said "is much better and more practical".
You bought what you could afford & what worked best for your particular application. But imagine this for a minute: Someone buying a 110" 4KTV isn’t concerned about price or space, like you are. Someone shopping for a TV of this size/price/performance probably lives in a million dollar home and has similar other "wow" items in the home to reflect their wealthy lifestyle. This would be the same person who has a $25,000 refrigerator. I also imagine quite a few large corporations would be interested a 110" 4KTV’s for presentations & events in various conference rooms, lobbies or large venues.. where brightness and viewing angles limit the effect of all projector based technologies.
Either way, your cheap 768p projector shouldn’t be compared to this TV for any reason. Two different technologies, and each are designed for totally different purposes & price points. This is coming from a guy who has a 1080p Epson 5030 projector in own my home theater shooting onto a 135" screen.. and was still very much wow’d when viewing TV’s of the size at CES in previous years. It looks that amazing in person.

You used the words "much better" and "more practical" without using the words "relatively" of "in comparison". Your wording made it clear you were saying your POS projector was better than this TV.
Also, "pretty decent picture of 120 inches"
Enjoy your 12.4 ppi.

Good one, ignorant comments as ignorant can get.
By fuumuufffuuu on 01.06.15 5:21pm
"Much better" as in has much lower brightness/contrast/resolution?
By gorskiegangsta on 01.06.15 5:34pm
Just wait until Samsung makes a larger 110" screen! It’ll be the longest 110" you’ve ever seen!
By JimboLodisC on 01.06.15 5:26pm
But will it blend?
By Maclovio Williams, Esq. on 01.06.15 5:32pm
No but it’s already bent

Recently, TCL TV displays have been popping up in electronics stores, and they do seem to have awesome picture quality.

TCL to Samsung:
"Mine is bigger than yours!"

I’ll need two…..one for each eye.

Serious Question:
When measuring a curved screen like this, do they do a perfectly straight line measurement from corner to corner, or do they follow the curve of the screen?
By Jruhlman09 on 01.06.15 5:55pm
I would think they measure the screen surface. Likely on spec, before production. Therefore following the curve.

The back of that thing looks like one giant heat sink…
By grimm01 on 01.06.15 6:20pm
It probably is. I have a feeling that this thing puts off a lot of heat.
By bettaboy123 on 01.07.15 9:34am
Who’s making the panel?
I suspect Samsung makes their own, so who is making TCL’s, and why don’t they have a 110-incher of their own?
By nawksnai on 01.06.15 6:32pm
This makes sense to me if I am sitting 5 feet in front of the TV, if it is curved much more, say 45 degrees. That would be nice for a space combat sim.
By dicobalt on 01.06.15 6:54pm
WAT?
By NukedKaltak on 01.06.15 7:58pm
The question is: Which company is using a poorly calibrated ruler that doesn’t meet spec?
By nawksnai on 01.06.15 8:12pm
Frame.
By Shaun McIlroy on 01.07.15 1:21pm
That’s a bad thing by today’s standards right? Thin bezels and all… So that can’t be it x)
