Micro LED technology, regarded as absolute, has just experienced a massive price drop. TCL has just announced the launch of two 163-inch giants, which cost only one third of what they did a year ago. This is the largest price cut in history!
163 inch MICRO LED at the price of a fancy projector
Two models have just debuted in China: TCL Max163M (priced at around $36,500) and Max163M Pro (around $51,000). Sounds like a fortune? Of course, it does, and these prices are still astronomical, but....
The price jump compared to models from 2024 is gigantic. As the flatpanelshd editorial team rightly pointed out: TCL demanded $110,000 for a similar 2-year-old model! And Samsung? For their The Wall, they still want close to 650,000 zł!!! This drastic price cut of nearly 70% is a signal that the production of these screens is finally becoming cheaper and more mass-produced.
This is true MICRO LED, not MICRO RGB
We are dealing with “true” Micro LED, not a marketing gimmick like MICRO RGB. The image consists of nearly 25 million microscopic diodes that light up and turn off on their own, offering perfect blacks, but with an unprecedented brightness of 10,000 nits. The Pro version additionally offers a refresh rate of 120Hz at 4K resolution.
The only downside is that such large screens are made up of smaller modules. The product engineers of these televisions do their best to make the connections invisible, but the “seams” between the panels are still noticeable. However, despite everything, the premiere in China is a historic step towards the commercialisation of MICRO-LED.
