The most expensive TV in the world is the Rose Edition from jeweler-customizer Stuart Hughes at $2.26 million, a 55 inch set covered in rose gold and diamonds. This list ranks 15 televisions by launch or list price, from bespoke jeweled screens to giant early 4K and 8K sets.
Prices are the figures reported when each TV was sold, not what they would cost today. Mass-market giants have collapsed in price since: Samsung asked $99,000 for its first 98 inch TV in 2019, and by 2024 it sold 98 inch models from $4,000.

1. Stuart Hughes Prestige HD Supreme Rose Edition: $2.26 million
The screen is only 55 inches. The price comes from the jewelry: 28 kilograms of 18K rose gold, 72 round-cut one-carat diamonds, sunstone and amethyst accents, and an inner bezel covered in hand-stitched alligator skin.
Stuart Hughes, a British luxury customizer, also built the cheaper Supreme Edition at #3. His published price stands in for this model, as no resale record exists.
2. Titan Zeus: $1.6 million
Titan, a British screen maker, launched this 370 inch wall of LEDs before the 2014 World Cup, and only four were reportedly built. At that size a football match shows players at roughly life scale.
The Zeus could split into twenty channels at once and switch to a moving aquarium, which is a lot of trouble for a TV. Our number is the reported launch price.
3. Stuart Hughes Prestige HD Supreme Edition: $1.5 million
The base Supreme starts from the same 55 inch set. It carries 19 kilograms of 22K yellow gold, 48 round diamonds weighing 0.75 carat in total, topaz and aventurine stones, and an alligator skin bezel.
The maker publishes this figure.
4. Konka 236 inch 8K tiled display: $1.25 million
Konka, a Chinese electronics maker, showed a 236 inch 8K display built from tiled panels and listed it at about $1.25 million.
This is a list price for a niche product and not a sale record, so we flag the number as approximate.
5. C SEED 201: $680,000
The 201 inch C SEED 201 launched in 2011 as an outdoor set. The screen folds out of a built-in chamber, and Porsche Design Studio worked on the look with Lighthouse Technologies.
Behind the glass are reportedly some 780,000 LEDs, 12 broadband speakers and three subwoofers. The reported launch price applies, roughly what a new luxury car costs.
6. Panasonic TH-152UX1: $500,000
Panasonic’s 152 inch 4K 3D plasma weighs more than half a ton and was billed as the biggest plasma ever made. It appeared in 2009 and reached living rooms a year later.
The $500,000 tag is the reported price, and by most accounts it was among the costliest sets the company has put out.
7. Samsung UN105S9B: $260,000
The B stands for bendable. At the push of a button the 105 inch screen switches between flat and curved, which is the whole reason it costs $140,000 more than the plain UN105S9.
Launch coverage supplies the figure.
8. Sharp LB-1085: $160,000
Sharp built this 108 inch full HD LCD in 2008 for malls and presentation spaces, rated for 24 hours of use a day. It was among the largest LCD panels sold commercially at the time.
The figure is the reported list price from that period.
9. Samsung UA11059: $152,000
A 110 inch set from around 2014, pitched at buyers who wanted size without a showroom wall. Motion control lets viewers steer the interface with hand gestures.
Our number is the reported launch price.
10. Samsung UN110S9VFXZA: $150,000
The same 110 inch size in the US model, with 3,840 by 2,160 pixels and a 240 Hz refresh rate. It sold from 2014 for $150,000 and carries four HDMI and three USB ports.
Reports of the launch figure fill in here.
11. Bang & Olufsen Beovision 4-103: $140,000
Danish design on top of a Panasonic panel: the 103 inch 100 Hz plasma sits on a motorized aluminum stand that raises, rotates and tilts at the click of a button. Auto Color Management adjusts the picture as the room light changes.
Here the list price is the basis.
12. Yalos Diamond TV: $135,000
Only 52 inches with 1,080 by 720 pixels, so the premium comes from 160 diamonds weighing 20 carats and a white gold trim. Japanese designer Takahide Sano drew it for Keymat Industrie.
The reported price is steep even for a 52 inch set.
13. Sharp LV-85001: $133,000
The first 8K TV to reach the market, shown at CES in 2012 and available three years later. There was no 8K broadcasting, so buyers used it for professional display work.
The list price is the reported one.
14. LG 105UC9: $100,000
LG’s 105 inch curved UHD set, designed with Harman/Kardon and unveiled at CES 2014. It has a 21:9 CinemaScope shape and a 7.2 channel surround speaker system.
The reported price was $100,000.
15. Samsung’s first 98 inch TV: $99,000
This 2019 set is the clearest picture of how fast screens get cheaper. At launch it cost $99,000. By 2024 Samsung offered four 98 inch models starting at $4,000, and the average price of a TV of 97 inches or more had fallen from $6,662 in 2023 to $3,113 in 2024.
Our basis is the 2019 launch price, which is why this entry sits at the bottom and is the first to drop off next time.
Special mentions
Not ranked: Samsung’s 292 inch The Wall, which began shipping in 2019 in a modular luxury version, and Sony’s Crystal LED walls from 110 inches upward. Both are built to order and we found no stable list price.
