Samsung Unveils 110-inch UHDTV Ahead Of CES 2014, Will Go On Sale On Monday

Samsung Unveils 110 inch UHDTV Ahead Of CES 2014, Will Go On Sale On MondayCES is a great time and platform for companies to show off new products, but at the same time the products being launched might not necessarily be for everyone. Samsung falls right into the latter category with the announcement of their 110-inch UHDTV television set which the company plans on showing off at CES 2014 as well. The television set is also expected to go on sale this Monday although pricing has yet to be unveiled, however given that Samsung’s 85-inch UHDTV that they debuted this year at CES 2013 was priced at around $40,000, safe to say that the 110-inch version will not come cheap. Not to mention the fact that the television measures a whopping 2.6m by 1.8m, it probably will have a hard time fitting in most living rooms.

Samsung expects that they will be limiting the sale of the television set will be limited to certain markets at first, but will eventually roll out to a wider audience at a later date. In any case the full specifications of the television, including its price, remains a bit of a mystery for now, but with Samsung expected to show off the device at CES 2014 (along with their 105-inch curved UHDTV) and as we will be live at the event ourselves, be sure to check back with us during CES 2014 in the next couple of weeks for the details! In the meantime any guesses as to how much this bad boy will cost?

According to numbers from TorrentFreak, Game of Thrones keeps the crown for the second year in a row by a hefty margin. At 5,900,000 downloads, it beats (fantastic) runner up Breaking Bad by almost two mil.

    Game of Thrones is the Most Pirated Show of 2013: The FBI is Coming

    The list of the most pirated shows of 2013 has been published and the show at the top is a repeat from last year. According to the list compiled by TorrentFreak, Game of Thrones was the most pirated show of 2013. The show had an estimated 5.9 million downloads compared to an estimated 5.5 million viewers on TV. That means more people pirated the show than watched it on HBO.

    Rounding out the top ten list in order are Breaking Bad, The Walking Dead, Big Bang Theory, Dexter, How I Met Your Mother, Suits, Homeland, Vikings, and Arrow.

    More people pirated Homeland than watched it on TV as well. It’s cool to see Arrow on the list, that is one of my favorite shows and I just started watching it on Netflix. Of course, while the level of piracy is flattering, keep in mind that it’s us paying subscribers who actually fund these amazing productions.
