Hasta La Gadget!

Most monitors these days are able to display Full HD resolutions at 1920×1080, but with UHD/4K televisions starting to emerge, there could be a day in the future where 4K is the new standard. If you’re an early adopter and […]

When Samsung unveiled its first 4K Ultra HD TV at CES this year, it said other sizes would follow, both larger and smaller than the initial 85-inch version. Now it’s apparently ready to fulfill part of that promise, announcing in Korea that 65- and 55-inch models will launch next month. Of course our next question is how these smaller models will compare to the $39,999 MSRP 85S9 UHD TV in price. Hopefully they’ll follow the path blazed by Sony, which recently introduced models at that size with pricing well below the $10,000 benchmark, although we expect Seiki’s 50-incher will still hold the crown for value pricing. The press release mentions they will feature Samsung’s upgradeable Smart TV platform and the “micro dimming ultimate” LED lighting of their larger cousin, but the odd “Timeless Gallery” frame / stand (pictured above on the 85-incher) was not listed.

We’ve all heard the rumors that Apple could be looking to build a television set of their own, with some predicting that it could even be launched later this year. While the jury is still out on that one, a new rumor has emerged, suggesting that Apple’s alleged television set could be a 4k device, meaning that it will put it in competition with UHD television sets by companies like Samsung, LG and Sony. According to the folks at Digitimes, the alleged “iTV” will sport a display resolution of 3840×2160, putting it up to the 4k UHD standard of 2160p, and will come with internet connectivity, voice and motion controls.

So where is this alleged TV? Well apparently Apple and Foxconn have been in discussion for quite a while over the mass production of the device, but Apple has been putting it off because they are still looking for a reliable panel supplier. It is speculated that LG Display could be the one to take the lead on the panel display, and the rumors are saying it might mean a late 2013 or early 2014 release. We’ll take this with a grain of salt for now, but a 4k UHD Apple TV? Apple’s products are already pretty expensive to start with, and we’d hate to think how much this would cost.

Museum owners, public officials and design studio heads are just the sort who would have an excuse to splash out on one of MyMultitouch’s displays. The 84-inch PixelSense-esque table is designed to be used by up to 32 fingers at once, letting groups paw around interactive exhibits on a large scale. This one, in particular, comes with a 3,840 x 2,160 UHD display, infrared-based multitouch and a steel stand that lets you mount it at a wide variety of angles. Since it’s driven by any PC with a 4K-outputting graphics card, you could even use it as your own desktop display, although you’d need to drop €33,000 ($43,100), plus whatever an 84-inch desk would set you back.

Samsung is known for several product lines, such as smartphones, tablets, displays, televisions and so on, and if you’re curious just how well Samsung’s television lineup is doing, Samsung executive BK Yoon has revealed that the South Korean company is selling, on average, three television units every second which we have to admit is pretty mind boggling! It’s a bit hard to imagine because when you walk into an electronics store, it’s not as if you’re seeing people lining up to purchase Samsung TVs, plus with other brands from companies such as Sony and LG available, customers certainly have a wide variety to choose from. However the numbers do not lie and with television sales accounting for $184 billion of Samsung Electronics’ sales last year, it is definitely believable. With new Samsung TVs revealed at CES 2013 this year, some of them being of the 4k UHD variety, we’re guessing that maybe sales this year might be even better.
