Samsung QN90F vs. Samsung Micro RGB TV: Why Do These Huge TVs Cost $30,000?

I saw both TVs on display, and this is what I think. The QN90F is the largest model in Samsung's flagship QN90F range, which starts in a 42-inch size.

It's worth mentioning up front that both QLED and traditional LED TVs are versions of LCD. They both use LCD panels to create a
