Hardware Dev TV

You’ve Got to See This Curved OLED TV

As reported on Wired.

I’d love to have this curved OLED TV from Samsung in my living room. No, I haven’t reversed myself. Samsung says this TV “won’t be available to the American market in the near future.”

So. You’re just going to have to wait. And me, too. But this looks to be a TV that may finally get you to trade in your current flat panel for something curvier. The gently swooping display is really beautiful to look at, almost a work of art. It’s different than anything I’d seen before. And moreover it’s functional as well. The curve gives the picture a depth and immersive quality, and the images onscreen just envelop you as you stare at the glass.

Yeah, I still want a TV that’s just drop-dead easy to use so I can get the shows I want, when I want them, no matter the source. But this was the first piece of hardware that’s given me TV envy in a long, long time. It was also one of my picks for Wired’s Best of CES awards.
