Samsung’s massive bending 4K TV hugs your face by flexing from flat to curved

By Caleb Denison September 5, 2014

Samsung likes to cause a stir, and it’s doing so in style this year at IFA 2014. Featured prominently at the front of the TV display area within the CityCube in Berlin is a monstrous 105-inch 4K cinemawide Ultra HD TV that flexes from flat to curved on demand, and its gathering plenty of attention.

Curiously, Samsung has another impressive display showing, but it’s tucked away in a corner where it could easily go unnoticed: a prototype 55-inch 4K curved OLED TV. After over a year of nary a nod in OLED’s direction, it was encouraging to see that Samsung hasn’t abandoned its OLED TV plans entirely.

Check out our video for a close look at both sets in action.

2024 Sony Bravia 9 4K mini-LED TV.

It's a new era for Sony. The company, once famous for its horrible product names that more closely resembled serial numbers, has finally landed on a simple naming convention. Take its new 2024 TVs, for instance. Every new model is now called "Bravia," with a single digit to denote where it stands in the lineup.

The simplified naming convention also applies to the company's 2024 soundbar lineup, with the hope that buyers will want to pair their new Bravia TV with a matching new Bravia Theater soundbar.
