The more things change...

Was working a Samsung exhibit where they were showing off their latest TV, some quarter million dollar beast. Part of the price tag was delivery and installation, as there was just no way a mere mortal could install this.

The problem wasn't that it was heavy -- it wasn't. Just fragile. The TV was made up of an array of much smaller borderless panels.

Think they sold a few to a coupla professional football players.

The other takeaway was the price of the TV probably was going to be 10x less within 10 years.

It’s not that difficult, you’re just paying for “installation theatre” at that point, good for showing off on social media and getting some clout.

Samsung microLED required professional installation until a year or two ago. It’s essentially a mini-JumboTron made of individual panels. They’ve managed to reduce down to four panels on brackets.
