If size does matter, being too big can get you laughed at, too.
Such is the case with Samsung’s 105-inch curved UHD TV. With a price tag approaching $120,000 — the cost of a few cars or a small house in most ZIP codes — the reviews on Amazon are pure comedy gold.
A visit to Amazon’s listing for the gigantic TV, which includes FREE Prime shipping, by the way — might leave you disappointed at first because the item is not in stock. But scroll through the reviews and you will find the many hilarious ways shoppers express sticker shock.

From Demond on Oct. 4: “This TV is great! It looks so much like real life that I almost feel like I have one! Before I bought this I would sit at home all alone wiping my tears with $100 bills and leopard fur for hours on end. Now I can trick myself into thinking that the people on the screen are actually my friends. Thanks Samsung!”

The picture is so realistic that I was able to step inside the TV and now I live in there like the Kardashians.

I mean, you’re talking at least $10 a ticket just to get in. And you go to the movies… what… 12,000 times a year? After one year, that is money in your pocket!”
The tongue-and-cheek response and the overall feeling that it is way too much TV for anyone should not comes as a surprise to Samsung. When it released an 85-inch model for around $40,000 in 2013, Amazon became a bulletin board for the sarcastic and incredulous.
Samsung did not immediately return an email with a request for comment.
But whatever a company rep could say, it likely would not be as funny as these:
