First up, it's more than just a TV
Samsung has been breaking the rules of technology of late—the Samsung Galaxy Fold’s bendable screen made it possible to carry a tablet in your pocket. It has also launched The Wall: a next-generation modular, micro-LED display for the home, that gives a spectacular viewing experience.
We speak to Andy Kennard, the founder and owner of AV Intelligence (the exclusive reseller of Samsung’s The Wall in Singapore) and Tyler Wisler, an interior designer originally from New York City, and now based in Asia, who is also the judge and mentor on design competition show, The Apartment.
What was your first impression of The Wall?
Andy Kennard (AK) I was shocked, it’s easy to be sceptical that it’s just a big TV, but when I saw it for the first time, I was blown away.
Tyler Wisler (TW) Literally an audible gasp. It is so monumental in scale it takes your breath away.
So what do you like most about The Wall?
AK Because it’s not one single screen but multiple panels that are seamlessly stitched together, you can choose the size and even the shape of a TV that is just right for you. 6.4m x 3.2m is the maximum screen size, but it can be made in whatever shape you like—be it a normal TV-style which is a 16:9 aspect ratio, or a cinema-style which is 2.4:1, or many other shapes.
Also, thanks to the micro-LED technology, it can be left turned on all day, which means you can use it as a piece of art, and completely customisable how you would like to use it.
TW It’s the scale of a wall. It could cover the surface of an entire wall and turn it into a virtual window! The Wall makes it possible to have a television, gaming centre, or piece of art—all in one.
