Yesterday at 16:32, 3778 views Samsung has continued to lead the market in terms of sales of TVs. Nevertheless, competitors are actively curious pattern – from advanced LCD TVs with 4K carpet and lighting to 4K OLED. Let’s see what new products presented on a large stand of the Korean electronics giant.

The company seems to hit the gigantism – on the stand prevail TVs under 65 inches and above. But it’s a good thing: on smaller format diagonals Ultra HD is simply meaningless. Oddly enough, the 105-inch size for UHD is more than adequate. Actually, two 105-inch TV – are the main novelties Samsung’s IFA.
In fact, not that this news: similar prototype 85-inch size we have seen another CES 2014. first 105-inch TV has a proportion of 21: 9 and curved screen. Resolution even slightly higher than the Ultra HD / 4K- here it is 5120 x 2160 pixels.
The rest of the image resembles a curved TV flagship series HU9000, with which we are acquainted in detail in the review. However, the impressive size of 105-inch TV allowed to post here more advanced audio system.
The second 105-inch model, at first glance, is a flat version of the previous one. In fact, this is the same version that can change its bend “on the fly” – or straighten up the flat state, or bend over! All this happens at the wave of the remote. Looks pretty impressive, considering that this is a LCD panel and not OLED on a flexible substrate. Although the amplitude and the bend radius is not too large compared with the size of the screen. Technically, the model repeats the above: it has the proportion of 21: 5 with a resolution of 5120 x 2160, UHD-upscaling and UHD-dimming. Standard set for the senior series Samsung.
Both models show that Samsung has struggled experimenting with a curved form factor. And it becomes clear why: consumers, that is, “peck” on the new bait, not really going into details. For the most active customers even offer curved line soundbar, which are suitable for curved TV better than conventional direct.
Going back to the 105-inch models: their time of appearance in Europe and Russia are not yet clear, but one thing is for sure – the price is sky-high. For example, in the United States bent 105-inch Samsung TV worth $ 120 000 Accordingly, in Europe, it is unlikely to be cheaper, but what can we say about the version that is folded back and forth …
The rest of the show was the actual ruler of TVs for the European market, with which it all so familiar. And only in a lonely corner of the prototype showed three curious – OLED-TV, from which the company has temporarily suspended disown and mass production.
Two flat prototype measuring 55 inches had a Full HD resolution and Ultra HD, and the third – Curved Ultra HD. Naturally, all three panels give an incredibly sharp image, it is inherent in this technology.
However, we see the prototypes of OLED-TV Samsung literally every year, but only model that still goes on sale, have left the market.
Finally, another showed a prototype – a 98-inch TV 8K. Evaluate how high pixel density: each piece of the image is extremely clear.
However, this model is not even in danger of becoming standard in the near future – it is not yet subsided buzz about 4K, and the content is too low. A user-generated content 8K has simply no.
As you can see, the real innovations Samsung brought a little, mostly these were only prototypes. With other models, consumers are already half a year can be found in any store. Honestly, expectations were higher. Well, wait for CES 2015 where Samsung traditionally shows its new lineup, which includes more affordable and earth model.
