Moving iMage Technologies (MIT), a leading manufacturer, distributor, and integrator in the cinema exhibition industry, announces along with Samsung, the second installation of The Wall Luxury in the US. The installation was completed in a home theater in Rancho Santa Fe, California.

Previously, MIT installed the first commercial Samsung Onyx Direct View LED Cinema Screen in the U.S. for both Star Cinema Grill in Richmond, Texas, and at Pacific Theatres Winnetka in Chatsworth, CA.

The Owner of the home in Rancho Santa Fe shared, “Samsung and MiT did an outstanding job installing the The Wall Luxury on schedule and performed all the critical tasks in a professional manner. I am very proud to have teamed up with Samsung and MiT to own the second Wall Luxury system in the Western Hemisphere. With UHD resolution and a screen size of 10.6 ft wide and 6 ft high, the picture and images are simply gorgeous!”

Bevan Wright, Executive Vice President, Operations at MIT stated, “It was a great experience working with Samsung to install Samsung’s The Wall Luxury.”

Samsung recently introduced the The Wall Luxury, its luxury version of The Wall, the ground-breaking MicroLED, large-format modular display. Ideal for even the brightest areas of the luxury residential space, The Wall Luxury is configurable and customizable to a variety of sizes and ratios from 73” in 2K definition, to 292” in 8K definition. With a depth less than 30mm, the slim, bezel-less infinity design along with customizable décor frames allows the display to blend seamlessly into its surroundings, ensuring no disruption to the desired ambience of its environment.

The Wall Luxury offers a new user interface and experience. Based on research into the lifestyles of target consumers and their preferences, the new luxury model goes beyond just image quality and provides a personalized user experience. A customizable décor frame enhances the display and ensures it fits any luxury space. Thanks to the 100,000-hour lifetime of its self-emitting diodes, The Wall Luxury can be set to never turn off, and to change into a digital canvas best matching the owner`s interior needs and personal mood. When the screen is not used, the Ambient Mode can display a variety of curated art from paintings, photographs and video art to customizable pictures with digital frames – that best suit the homeowner’s tastes.

The Wall Luxury is also equipped with the AI picture quality engine, Quantum Processor Flex. This delivers optimized picture quality scene-by-scene, regardless of the original source format. Quantum Processor Flex is a machine learning-based picture quality engine that analyzes millions of image data to automatically calibrate the original low resolution according to the modular screen resolution.

Whether viewing a classic movie, an anticipated sporting event or the latest console game, AI upscaling, Quantum HDR technology peak brightness of 2,000 nits and 120Hz video rate provide a rich and superior visual experience that is second-to-none.

“MiT continues to raise the bar when it comes to their professionalism and perseverance in making this installation happen,” said Michael Bennett, Business Development Senior Manager, Samsung Electronics America. “Their team was involved in the process since the very first meeting with the owner and played a pivotal role in bringing this sale to a close.”
