Samsung and LG big bendy TVs
- Massive flexible curved screens you will never be able to afford
- Revamped webOS on LG smart TVs
- Availability and prices unavailable
Samsung (KRX:005935) and LG (KRX:066570; LSE:LGLD) must have employed the same group of idea people prior to CES. In addition to a suite of smart home appliances, both have also come out with gigantic televisions with curved screens.
Samsung and LG both had 105-inch UHD 4K TVs with 21:9 aspect ratios on display at CES this year, but both were just conceptual prototypes. They each also showed off slightly smaller but still sizable bendable TVs – Samsung’s 85-inch LCD (pictured above) and LG’s 75-inch OLED – on which you can remotely control the curvature. LG’s will cost a mighty $70,000.
On a more attainable note, LG showed off its revamped webOS, which will come installed on half of LG’s line of TVs this year. The difference between webOS and other smart TV OSes is the seamless transition between apps and inputs. Switching between Netflix, your game console, and satellite TV is as easy as changing the channel.
より身近な話としては、LGは、今年発売される同社製のテレビラインナップの半数にインストールされる改良版webOSを見せつけていた。webOSとその他のスマートTV用OSの違いは、アプリと入力間がなめらかに移行するという点だ。チャンネルを変えるのと同じように簡単にNetflix、ゲームコンソール、そして衛星テレビ間を切り替えることができる。
より身近な話をすると、LGが発表した改良型webOSは今年販売されたLG取扱商品のうち半数にインストールされている。webOSとその他のスマートテレビOSとの違いは、アプリとインプット間の途切れのないトランジットにある。Netflix、ゲーム機、サテライトテレビを切り替える時も、チャンネルを替えるように簡単だ。

My mom would love this. For people who want to store and cook their food at optimal temperatures this combo would be hard to beat. The refrigerator has multiple temperature settings per compartment. The oven can cook at two different temperatures simultaneously. And the dishwasher? Well, it just looks slick. Additionally, Samsung unveiled a smart vacuum cleaner and a washer/dryer combo.
