If your 52-inch telly is starting to feel a little small you might want to set your sights on this new screen from Samsung. It's called the QLED 80C and it comes with one massive advantage over other tellies. That's due to its gigantic 98-inch QLED screen which is far bigger than most of its rivals - which only go to a maximum of around 85 inches.
With one of these in your living room, you should never need to head to the cinema ever again with it offering a blockbuster experience without leaving the comfort of your sofa.
Of course, 98 inches is a big area to fill but Samsung reckons it's made sure everything you watch will look pin-sharp and packed with detail. That's all thanks to clever AI upscaling which boosts the quality of content even if it's not been shot in super high resolution 8K.
Other image-boosting technology includes Quantum HDR+ which helps to make movies and boxsets look richer and full of contrast plus there is an EyeComfort setting to help with those epic Sunday boxset binges.
Samsung is also boasting that its TV is validated by the experts at PANTONE for more vibrant and authentic colours.
It's not just the screen that should impress with this 98-inch beast also getting sound upgrades such as Dolby Atmos and Samsung’s Object Tracking which makes sure the audio follows the position of the action on the display.
Just like all of Samsung's latest and greatest TVs, there's full access to all of the latest streaming apps along with the firm's new Gaming Hub which offers premium titles without needing a console.
It also sounds mightily impressive but what about the price? Well, you're going need to need a pretty healthy bank balance to buy the QLED 80C as costs an eye-watering £6,499. Ouch!
Samsung is offering up to £1,000 off the screen if you hand over your current telly and you can spread the cost over 36 months but it's still a ludicrous price for a telly.
“In recent years, we have observed a growing consumer desire for larger screens. At Samsung, we are dedicated to providing superior products that improve the lives of our consumers and address their situational needs,” said Jose Barreiro-Lopez, Vice President of the Europe Visual Display Office, Samsung Europe.
“This new, super-sized addition to our QLED line-up is especially exciting, providing a more immersive entertainment experience, making movies feel like you’re at the theatre, sporting events like you’re really in the stadium and gaming like you are in the middle of all the action. At Samsung we open up the world of entertainment, powered by ground breaking technology and complimented with amazing content partnerships. We bring every experience to life.”
