Maybe you catch yourself watching a movie on one of the best OLED TVs you recently bought and think: "This is great, but what if it were even bigger?" Well, my friend, let me introduce you to the LG MAGNIT Active Micro LED TV.
Recently unveiled by LG, this is a gargantuan 136-inch display that puts a theater screen on your wall. It's a Micro LED set, which means it can control each individual pixel dynamically for the best possible picture quality. The set boasts a 4K (3,840 x 2,160) resolution and a contrast ratio of 1,000,000:1. That's a million to one on a screen measuring 11 feet across the diagonal.
In fact, this monster screen is so large and so packed with tech that LG won't even tell us what the price is yet. Chances are, if you have to ask, you can't afford it.
For context, when the company dropped a 118-inch model in 2023, that cost $237,000. So you can probably do the math on whether or not this one will be inside your budget.
Active Matrix technology
This behemoth utilizes Active Matrix technology to get that huge contrast ratio. Unlike Passive Matrix systems, which control pixels by rows or columns, an Active Matrix system has individual control at a pixel level. Alongside this, the brand says it's applied a proprietary surface treatment technology to make the blacks even deeper and reduce the impact of ambient light on color accuracy.
The MAGNIT Active Micro LED TV uses LG's latest a9 AI Processor 6th Generation so the display "intelligently analyzes the creator’s intent to optimize every scene."
As per LG's press release, that means it "reduces noise, sharpens clarity and recognizes faces, objects, text and backgrounds to deliver more natural, detailed and lifelike images.
"In addition, its 144Hz high refresh rate ensures smooth, blur-free motion, making it ideal for fast-paced gaming and dynamic sports content."
Sound and connectivity
The built-in speakers deliver 4.2 channel surround sound with a total output of 100 watts and the enhanced Audio Return Channel (eARC) for lossless playback so if you really didn't have enough already, you could hook it up to one of the best soundbars. Which would probably look like a candy bar in comparison.
As expected, AirPlay 2 and Miracast support are present and the display runs LG's webOS smart TV platform. The TV is currently available in South Korea with a global rollout to key markets (including the U.S. and possibly the U.K.) set to follow.
Don't worry if you're not yet ready to remortgage the house to buy this set, we've picked out the best 65-inch TVs you can buy right here instead.
