 This is Dante Durazzo with The Verge here at CES 2014 and Samsung just showed us its best TV of the year. A 4K 105 inch curved TV. We've got to just check it out right now and the TV is truly a presence to behold. It's 21 by 9 so it's very very wide and 105 inches you can really see the curve. The viewing angles are unbelievable and the back shows off its quality. The back is actually made out of a curved wood panel with metal stands. It's unlike a TV we've seen before. Of course the TV isn't really anything that we expect anytime soon. There's no price or availability to speak of but you can be sure it would be quite expensive. We aren't convinced of the benefits of curved televisions but Samsung says this is undeniably the future of TV. They believe that it gives a 3D like effect. We didn't really see that in person. It turns out that what they're using is a post processing effect that adds extra contrast to certain layers in the image to make it look better supposedly. It really is changing the original image and depending on how it looks to your eye it might be better. Samsung has shown in the past it has the ability to ship crazy TVs like this. Last year at the same event Samsung showed off its crazy Easel TV which eventually did ship for close to $40,000. In addition to the curved 4K TV Samsung has also shown off a bendable television which can be switched from flat to curved on the press of a button. It's just a prototype for now and it isn't clear what Samsung plans to do with the technology but it's a pretty good tech demo. Samsung is convinced that these sorts of curved TVs are the future. Let's see what its competitors do next.
