Clearly, the big thing at IFA 2013 for TV manufacturers this year is curved televisions. So far, we’ve seen curved OLED sets and curved LED TVs at the show. LG has rolled out what it claims to be the world’s largest curved screen OLED TV called simply enough the 77-inch Ultra HD Curved OLED TV. […]
Second-tier TV manufacturer Hisense is on hand at IFA 2013 and it’s showing off its massive 110-inch 4K LED backlit TV. This appears to be the same TV that was shown off at CES 2013 earlier this year. Hisense isn’t making that big a deal out of the TV and possibly more interesting than the […]
LG’s 77-inch Ultra HD curved OLED TV is the biggest, with the most buzzwords (update: eyes-on)
Posted in: Today's ChiliThe never ending battle between Korean manufacturers Samsung and LG has moved to its inevitable next level, as LG has introduced an even larger super high-res OLED than its competitor’s 55-inch models. The new high water mark is this 77-inch Ultra HD curved OLED it’s showing off at IFA 2013, which is a step up in pretty much every way possible and even makes us recall the LCD size wars of the mid ’00s. Whether or not we asked for it, it’s bringing new display technology, a rare shape and of course, that truly outstanding size. It’s only a concept now, but so was the $15,000 55-inch version at one point so we’d suggest keeping your black card handy.%Gallery-slideshow83284%

Twelve months ago Panasonic showed us a 4k display slotted into an oversized tablet and threatened to release it on the world; now, the Panasonic Toughpad 4K UT-MB4 has been born. 20-inches and 3840 x 2560 resolution, the Toughpad 4K UT-MB4 isn’t being targeted at your average iPad owner – not least because it’s ten […]
At CES 2013, 4K TVs seemed to have taken center stage as several consumer electronics companies showed off their latest and greatest during the show. We’ve seen 4K TVs up close and we still can’t believe our eyes when we come across one, but is its image good enough to trick people into thinking the apocalypse is taking place? That’s what LG wanted to see when they set up a fake meteor crash during a number of interviews. (more…)
LG Uses 84-Inch 4K UHD TV For Fake Meteor Crash Prank [Video] original content from Ubergizmo.
Panasonic has unveiled a new television called the Smart Viera WT600. The TV is billed as the world’s first ultra HDTV with a 4K 60p input design that is based on HDMI 2.0 and the DisplayPort 1.2a specifications. The TV supports ultra HD resolution content at up to 60 frames per second and promises impressive […]
We heard about that 65-inch, award-winning Philips 4K set a while back, and earlier today, we finally got to see the thing trotted out on stage in all of its ultra high-def glory. Turns out it’s also got a bigger sibling, an 84-incher. We managed to get up close and personal with both of the sets on the floor, sitting side by side in Philips’ booth. The bezels on the 9000s are reasonably thin, though not nearly as svelte as we’ve seen on the sort of sets that Samsung and Sony like to trot out. Same goes for the profile — if you’re really interested in the thinnest 4K sets on the market, you’re going to want to look elsewhere — not shocking, of course, as the company is positioning these as budget sets. Ultra high-definition for the people.
The sets are available today in the UK and Russia, priced at €4,999 ($6,588)and and €14,999 ($19,768), respectively. You can get a bit of a closer look at them in the gallery below.%Gallery-slideshow79655%

Sony: Our 56-inch 4k OLED TV is biggest & brightest (we just can’t make it)
Posted in: Today's ChiliSony is showing off a new prototype 4k Ultra HD OLED TV at IFA 2013, and the company isn’t short on hyperbole about the new set. The 56-inch panel is both brighter and more colorful than either of the OLED TVs on sale from Samsung and LG, Sony told us, as well as being bigger, […]
Samsung’s press conference at IFA 2013 is over and we have more details on the company’s new line of televisions.

New 4K TVs from Philips? We can’t say we didn’t see ’em coming. Heck, Philips even won an award for one of them. The company was waiting for the main event here at IFA to make the thing officially official, however. Philips took to the stage today to show off two entries in its 9000 series — 65- and 84-inch models. The company’s promising an “attractive price point here” — that means €4,999 ($6,588) for the smaller 65PFL9708 and €14,999 ($19,768) for the 84PFL9708. Both sets feature Ultra Pixel HD Engine technology for upscaling, given the still somewhat limited selection of 4K content. The 65 and 84 are both available now in the UK and Russia.
