Consumer electronics giant LG did reveal at the recently concluded CES 2014 a new kind of TV that will certainly blow your minds away – I am referring to the flexible OLED TV here, of course. LG claims that this is the first of its kind in the world, where the TV will not only arrive as a curved device, but you, the viewer, are able to control the angle of the curvature itself in order to enjoy the ultimate viewing experience where it would not have been thought of to be possible just a couple of decades ago.

Hyun-hwoi Ha President and CEO of LG’s Home Entertainment Company, shared, “LG’s Flexible OLED TV is a product that has to be seen to be believed because it defies description. What curved is to flat, flexible is to curved. LG continues to lead the evolution of televisions into the next generation.”

Basically, with this flexible OLED TV, you will be able to use the included TV remote to alter the curvature of the display in order to suit your viewing experience. As for the range of the curvature itself, it is determined by taking into account key factors which will affect the viewing experience, where among them include screen size as well as viewing distance.

Not only that, you might think that this TV, being a prototype to begin with, is going to be small just for testing purposes. I thought so, and I was sorely mistaken, since this bad boy happens to be a 77″ flexible OLED TV, where it has been subjected to tens of thousands of hours of tests in order to ensure the reliability and durability of its unique display. Talk about a “grand slam” of firsts when it comes to the OLED TV universe – being flat, curved and now, flexible. Needless to say, pricing details and availability have yet to be divulged, but it sure as heck ain’t gonna come cheap!

The rumors were true: the Samsung’s 55” Curved OLED TV has become available today at select locations on the U.S retail market, for the price of $9000. Named, Samsung KN55S9C, this TV is already available in Korea and uses the same “floating” design language introduced for the first time at CES for a non-curved display. The concept remains the same: the fame around the TV is designed to make the content seemingly “float” in the middle.

So, you think that you have the best looking TV in the neighborhood, do you? Back in the day of chunky CRTs, it was flat screen TVs that ruled the roost, showing the rest of the world that you have arrived if you happened to have one of those flat Trinitrons from Sony, or the Panasonic Tau. After that, along came the LCD revolution, which was subsequently accompanied by plasma, and at a later time, LED and OLED, where all of these had a few common characteristics – extremely slim form factors and of course, the flat screen to offer a fantastic viewing experience. Well, it seems that the curve is back, although this time around, it will be in the inverse to those of chunky CRTs of yore, as Samsung recently made available their Curved OLED TV in Seoul, South Korea.

You could more or less say that the Curved OLED TV marks a new level in innovation which will be able to deliver immaculate true-to-life pictures regardless of the angle that you are viewing from, and neither does the vantage point matter that much as before, thanks to its unique curved display. Being carefully crafted to accentuate its ‘Timeless Arena’ design, the Samsung Curved OLED TV remains at the cutting edge of technology courtesy of the Multi View feature and the Evolution Kit.

Just what gives an OLED display an edge over the others? Well for starters, Curved OLED is capable of delivering flawless picture quality as it comprises of thousands of self-emitting diodes which are capable of offering richer and brighter images compared to existing TVs that are in the market. However, these would require complex production methods, and it is a task that Samsung is up for thanks to its technology which has the intention to eliminate the potential for defective pixels. All 70” of viewing glory can be yours for KRW 15 million, which roughly translates to $13, 230 after conversion. Would you go for a car, or a new Curved OLED TV?
