It's the shape of the back and sides. As there won't be any cables coming to or from the tv. How you ask? Easy. There will be a box that your electronics will hook up to and it will "sling" all the video and audio to the tv wirelessly. As far as power... It will sit on a power mat type device. That's why the video shows the stand built in to it. You didn't hear any of this from me and no I don't work for SameSuck. Sorry to spoil all your no bezel dreams. But bezels don't really do much on or off. I watch tv for the screen. Never stating at the bezel.
 
Ooo it's going to be rectangle. Sorry I own patent on that!

But hey seriously if it were portrait I wouldn't buy it in hell's day off. Or if it were square for that matter. I own an underpowered Samsung TV and the picture is gorgeous and in landscape. The revolutionary thing it needs is grunt under the hood.

I could buy that as an argument. But insisting a fixed stand cuts all the wall mounting customers out. I'm one of them. Sits On a rough stone wall, nothing under it.

If this is the actual TV veiled then it has a bezel. Thin? Yes, but no thinner than they make currently.

I can't quite believe we're even entertaining the idea that the picture will be in portrait. That's not likely given how all the TV content on earth isn't in that mode. :)

However, here's an idea: the top half of the new Samsung TV set is the main picture and the lower half is a permanent menu of content that fades out when the programme above starts playing. When no content is playing, the whole display, in portrait, is a like a giant menu, including movie posters and such like.

I give up: who the hell knows what they're up to and I suspect most people on here don't care unless it trips up Apple's own future TV strategies.
 
Still looks like the new Samsung TV is going to have a bezel/border/edge (judging from the video under the screen). Fail.
 
I think you have to buy three monitors to achieve widescreen...

Brilliant!
 
I think 16:9 makes perfect sense, since TV is broadcasted in 4:3, so you have the choice between three awesome things: either waste about 60% of your pixels with black (or in LG's case, fluorescent light greyish blue) rectangles on either side, chop off everyone's head and legs (who needs those anyway?), or have everyone appear about twice as fat as they are (haha, at least that makes you feel good about your diet!).

Yeah, whoever thought that 16:9 was a good aspect ratio for a TV was probably a genius, which is why no one ever questioned it!
 
We've got a new Samsung TV, and the color SUCKS.
I've never seen worse color calibration.

But I'm sure it uses the latest technology to reproduce that atrocious picture. Newer technology and no common sense is always better right?
 
Teaser is shot in Sydney, Australia

Despite CES being held in Las Vegas, this teaser was shot entirely in Sydney. It's very easy to pick with right hand drive cars, Holden station wagons, a bus traveling to Circular Quay, New South Wales car number plates, local cab company and one of the Sydney Harbour Bridge pylons in the background. And the CES building purported to be in Vegas? Well that's the Mitchell Library just off Macquarie Street!
 
When 52" Samsung TVs first came out they were expensive. We bought one and 2 years later it died. I had to tear it apart and replace/solder some parts. I won't buy another Samsung as long as I live.
 
I cant believe how many blind fanboys are in this thread. How dare another company attempt to bring something new to an established market.

Samsung have done an amazing thing with the TV market. They created big screen LED's at an affordable price to make them in demand on a mass scale. Sure the lower end models arn't that great in terms of picture quality, if you want that they offer much more expensive models.

Sure edge lit LED compared to backlit LED is pathetic. Samsung have done what Apple have done many many times before. Design over function. And have created some stunning looking TV sets that other companies have only just started to catch up on (LG).

I hope what Samsung has created here is something new. I own a 55" Samsung, 40" Sony and a 42" Panasonic. And I am in the market for a new set for my theater (I want a 70"). My housemate owns an LG 55" and 40" LG. I just cant see Apple bringing a great deal to the market without it just being completely attatched to iTunes store, in which it costs me a dollar to view an episode. Stuff that.
 
I don't care how great the tv is, it's all about the content and the software used to access that content. Samsung might have a nice interface coming but I'm certain when apple shows us what they have been working on (for a very long time) it will be better than anything anyone else has been able to come up with.

unllikely. The itunes store/brpwser is still a mess. What are you basing your confidence on ? apple tv?
 
Though I'm really betting on 4K or OLED.

4K (84") is like $25k from Sony right now.
There is no content except for a box that Sony will lend to you with fixed movies.

Don't expect any significant jump in 4K until the PS4 is released and even then with no broadcast standard for it.
 
I think many have become so jaded to how amazingly far we have come in tech.

Do you guys ever sit back appreciate this stuff and how far we have come, so quickly ?
It was not that long ago that flat-screens were introduced. Remember how although the screens were flat, we could still have a DVD, Gaming System and a small oven on top with space to spare ?

We currently have TV's available that make my iPad self conscious of being a bit too thick ?

You wont live long.



It's not a vertical TV.

It's a bezeless TV.

I am basing my confidence on apples introduction of the personal computer, the introduction of their MP3 player, the introduction of their phone, and the introduction of their tablet. When apple enters a market with their best effort they tend to perform very well.
 
there's no way it'll be in portrait, but could entertain idea of tv auto rotating image if need be.

i hate all those iphone videos that are in like a 9:16 shot! i want widescreen :rolleyes:

IF it is transparent, its probably ONLY for when the TV is off. WHen its On, you can't see through it, but when off, you can see behind. Or maybe the screen will turn into a mirror when turned off.

Who knows! well see soon enough :)
