Sony took to the CES floor today to showcase their new 56-inch, 4K OLED TV prototype. You can probably tell from these limited specs (frankly the only ones you need to know) that it is going to look stunning and showgoers have reported that it does indeed.
Unfortunately, it is still a prototype as of now so we don’t have any other information about it, including the price and launch date.
Having a 4K TV is one thing, but what about the content? Unfortunately, not many have answer to that question as of now but Sony seems to be the only one trying. At CES, Sony also announced the world’s first consumer 4K video distribution service.
Unfortunately, not much is known at present about this service, either. According to The Verge, the service would be launched in the US this summer. It remains to be seen how the quality would be and more importantly, how feasible it would be to stream 4K content on current average internet speeds.
Samsung showcased their first 4K television to the world. As it happens, at a monstrous 85-inches, it is also the world’s largest 4K television in the world.
The Samsung UN85S9, as it is called, features a unique floating design. The panel is held up by the sides within a metal frame, which gives the impression of it floating in the center. As you can see, the designers haven’t really been successful in simulating that effect but nonetheless the design is striking. The metal frame around the panel also allows you to tilt the display vertically and houses the 120W, 2.2 channel speaker system.
The UN85S9 also has Samsung’s Smart Hub software and runs on a 1.3GHz quad-core A15 processor. There are no details on pricing yet but the television is expected to go on sale in March.
