If only there were more pixels.
We love the rich colors and awesome contrast that OLED displays can give us. We're already enjoying the wonders of OLED and AMOLED and we dream of seeing the technology at the sizes of the LCD and plasmas of today.
Mitsubishi is planning on selling a 100-inch OLED TV later this month. Yes, that sounds jaw dropping at first, but sadly this isn't the HDTV that we're waiting for. In fact, it's not really HD at all.
This Diamond Vision model at 100-inches has pixels that measure around 3mm in size. Viewers will have to view the displays from at least a couple of meters away to get a decent image. The sets will get even bigger, perhaps to the 155-inch model that Mitsubishi prototyped. This massive size was accomplished by putting together multiple OLED modules, all of which add up to 17.6 pounds in weight and 15.1 inches think.
These Diamond Vision models have a maximum brightness of 1,200cd/m2, which is twice as bright as the company’s current LED-backlit LCD TVs.
The 100-inch model goes on sale later this month. Price has not been announced.

And thats just wolesale, by the time it hits retail, you'll need to a score left nuts.

Since there are multiple panels that have to be held to each other, I think this most unlikely. I think it more likely that it weighs 176 pounds.
Joygasm!!!!
You say that and don't even give the resolution or talk about it?
Stupid PR stunt.....
Where did you find the resolution? This thing can't be 16X9. I was figuring if it was 16X9, that the resolution would be roughly 1211 X 681.
At 1088X640, that puts it at 10/17 aspect ratio.
So who wants this thing? Sure its big, but it should have higher res, at least 1080p.
Get a $400~700 projector.
This thing is modular for a reason, so it can be custom fit to specific customer needs. The 100 diagonal inch model is for demonstration purposes or as a general use display. These are targeting dynamic signage such as seen in sporting events or other high traffic areas like airports.

The point is for signage in bright lit places. Think about sporting or other entertainment events that have huge screens viewed from a great distance away or the airport advertisements that you walk past. Also consider those order boards at your favorite fast food chain.
Now imagine each of those being a different size where having the lego-oled display will allow Mitsubishi to fulfill the individual needs of each of these customers.
This is not a consumer home television.
