Just when you thought excess was going out of fashion...

...Jared Newman has a Time article about real excess:

If Samsung’s $40,000 television wasn’t expensive enough for you, the company has just launched an even larger television for nearly four times the price.
Recently, Samsung began selling a 4K television (that’s a resolution of 3840-by-2160) with a 110-inch screen. Samsung says it’s roughly as large as a king-sized bed. The price, according to The Associated Press, is roughly $152,000.
Earlier this year, Samsung began selling an 85-inch 4K television for $40,000, prompting some hilarious mock reviews on Amazon.
While you might think that Samsung’s 110-inch television is the world’s most expensive television, it’s been topped before. Panasonic sells a 152-inch 4K television for a half-million dollars, and C Seed offers an outdoor television with a retractable two-hundred-inch screen for $655,000. (Some luxury televisions drive up their prices with diamond studs, but that’s cheating.)
For now, Samsung’s 110-inch television is only available in South Korea, but Samsung says it will eventually launch in China, the Middle East, and Europe. Sorry, one-percenters, there’s no word on a US launch.

Rico says that, even if he could afford it (and actually wanted one, which he doesn't), he doesn't have a wall big enough...
