If you're looking for a new TV and are after something a little bit special, you might want to check out LG's DVLED (Direct View LED) sets. They were previously only available for commercial use like advertising, but now you can buy one for the home.

They're massive. Sizes range from 81 inches to 325, with 2K, 4K or 8K resolutions available.

But it's not just the size that sets them apart. Their screen technology is pretty smart too.

Your options are a standard 16:9 aspect ratio, or a super-stretched 32:9 (which could be handy for viewing multiple feeds at once, like live sport). 

You can't pick them up at your local electronics shop. They're only available through a new custom-installation dealer programme. Dealers who qualify will get training and customer support assistance, a subscription to LG's Connected Care software so they can remotely monitor their customer's system performance, and a five-year warranty on each TV. An LG field engineer will help on-site during installation, and LG will provide site visit "health checks" twice a year for three years. 

LG calls it the supercar of home display technologies, so suffice to say it won't come cheap. There's no word on pricing yet, but you can find out more at LG's website.
