hey guys johnathan here with TLD hope you guys are doing well I am back with some 2014 CES coverage now I know your sub boxes may be flooded so I kind of wanted to filter it down and show you guys the coolest of the cool or at least what I've seen at the show now I think we knew going into the show that 4k or UHD which was the correct term would be the big thing at the event sure enough 4k this UHD that but on top of that it's curved UHD TVs that they are now pushing on everybody kind of like they did with 3d TVs two years ago so it's Samsung big to kind of one-up that as they showed off a prototype 85 inch bendable Ultra HD TV bendable so how it works is literally with a click of a button it can go from straight to curved now Samsung was pretty secretive about it because it is a prototype so there was no release date no price point anything like that they really didn't want to get into any of the technology either how it works how far of a degree you can bend it to is that one stop two stops they would not release any of that information now regardless of whether it's a gimmick or not I thought this was cool tech and something you guys wanted to see and I actually got a chance to sit in front of some curved TVs and I know a lot of people are actually viewing these as gimmicky the idea behind the curved display it's supposed to give you a 3d like effect without glasses but not 3d in the sense that you have objects popping at you but more in a sense and I really noticed this watching a sports demo we kind of feel like you're surrounded by the content it actually thought that was really cool and enjoyed that more than any 3d experience that I've tried the problem is though there's almost a sweet spot of where you got to be sitting to appreciate the effect of a curved display if you're about 10 to 15 feet away then you really start to appreciate the effect but if you're off to the side or you're farther away then it really starts to lose its value so I don't know let me know what you guys think our curved displays on TV a gimmick do you guys see any potential and a usefulness out of them at the very least I think we can agree that this was cool tech and it's nice to see companies step outside the box and whether or not it's completely useful I think at the end of the day that's how cool technology happens so hopefully you guys enjoyed the video if you did and you are feeling like being awesome make sure to hit that like button it is much appreciated if you guys have any requests for CES 2014 coverage leave me a comment down below or hit me up on Twitter at TLD today that I also got to check out Samsung's 105 inch curved UHD TV and an 8 freaking K TV so if you guys want to see any of that let me know the comment down below again this is Jonathan with TLD and I'll see you guys later
