Samsung Electronics is expected to unveil a large QLED TV which is greater than 100-inches and this will be the first time that the company is releasing such a large TV, as its present largest TV is 88-inches.

In addition, Samsung will introduce 8K QLED TV for the first time ever which brings a better quality than previous QLED TVs. Samsung is coming out with a micro-LED technology which uses ultra-small LED as a display pixel. Information from some sectors claims that Samsung has completed the development of its first micro-LED display which is seen as the future display technology because of its high brightness and efficiency.
“Next year’s premium TV markets will also be a confrontation between QLED and OLED TVs.”…“When next-generation TV technologies such as the micro-LED and rollable display are developed, it is expected that there will be new products in TV markets starting from 2019.”
