so we'll begin as always with a shout-out to Squarespace thanks for allowing us to be here at CES 2016 alright so I got a really bright light in my eyes for this video almost is bright is the concept TV behind me so this is not a real product it doesn't have a real name but what it does have is a very real presence here in the Samsung booth this is their 170 inch s UHD TV yes 170 inches of high dynamic range premium certified 4k entertainment now what is HDR premium great question now Samsung's gonna have a lot of HDR certified TVs this year which is effectively a higher range of colors available this is enabled by their quantum technology as well as some tweaks that they've made to the contrast capabilities of their TVs this year but there's an additional certification HDR premium that basically means if you've got HDR content coming in it's gonna do the best that it possibly can to achieve the depth of color that the content was originally created with now so for the one behind me we're talkin this thing can cover 96% of the DCI color space so that's what you'd expect out of a high-end projector theater setup and I mean it actually bears a lot of other similarities to a high-end theater setup but why don't we move on to something a little bit more realistic for now yeah so that thing I said just there that was a total lie because this is also a concept display so the one behind me is pretty freakin sick they're showing off this completely borderless set of little square displays that they're actually rearranging on the fly with really no information other than that that they're willing to give me I don't know if it's OLED I don't know if it's LCD I don't know how many of them you can put together and I don't know how much it would cost I don't know if it's intended for the home or purely for digital signage I basically know nothing about it other than the fact that when they put them together there is a tiny little line where the displays meet that you can own really see when you view it off axis and they are moving them around in a come obviously the content created for it is custom but they are moving it around in such a way that the image is being displayed well I mean whatever you're looking at it you get the point pretty freakin amazing right but it actually gets a little bit better than that yes friends this one right here is a bit more of a practical demonstration of that technology we just looked at and one where we can see that it's capable of doing more than just these kind of you know flat graphical design type things that we had going on before so you can see what's going on behind me right now is these two of those modular panels are actually reconfiguring themselves from a more standard 16 by 9 aspect ratio so the kind of thing where you would have your typical HD TV content coming in on to a more cinematic 21 by 9 aspect ratio which is quite close to what many of your favorite and most iconic films are shot on so imagine that the ability to actually make use of all of the real estate of the TV that you've purchased without having to deal with any black bars now of course for the price that you're likely to pay for one of these if and when they were to ever be produced you could probably just buy a 16 by 9 like top-of-the-line TV and a 21 by 9 top-of-the-line TV and like build yourself like a sweet ass like motorized thing to move one of them out of the way when you got the other content but it's all about what the technology can do right well it's concept corner so I guess so alright guys so don't miss any of our CES 2016 coverage by making sure you're subscribed to Linus tech tips also huge thanks to Squarespace for sending us to the show this year if you guys want to build a beautiful website head over to squarespace.com slash Linus linked in the video description and use offer code Linus to build your beautiful website today thanks again to Squarespace for allowing us to be here and to you for watching and to Samsung for putting up with my crap
