CNET News - CES: The future of TVs -- bigger, better resolution, and bendable
2014-01-06
at the consumer electronics show in las
vegas new televisions are bending the
rules both Samsung and LG unveiled
shape-shifting concepts that switch TV
screens from flat to curved with the
remote control having a display that is
flexible it is powered by a motor that
enables you to control and and create
that curvature on the television there
are plenty of products for anyone who
wants to throw their TV watching for a
curve the wider field of view and
panorama effect draws viewers in the TV
seems even bigger than it is I've seen
an in person it just looks a little bit
distorted to me another trend
televisions that pack more pixels I
can't stop talking about 4k I tell
everyone it's like looking out a window
company's boasted displays with
ultra-high definition and 4k technology
but don't let the tech jargon confuse
you may both refer to televisions that
have much higher resolution than 1080p
televisions the flip side of that coin
of course is that you really can't see
the difference between a 1080p
television at 4k or ultra HDTV because
that's really small pixels and have to
be really close to appreciate that extra
sharpness really small pixels on really
enormous televisions at a whopping 105
inches the Samsung set is one of several
oversized models and of course at the
show people bring in these gigantic TVs
as 105 120 hundred and ten inch
televisions that are there those are
prohibitively expensive something on MTV
Cribs but they are you know they're and
they're pretty cool-looking when you see
them in person proving that sometimes
bigger is better especially at CES for
