Want to see a 105-inch curved TV? LG and Samsung will each unveil their own respective models next month.
The two electronics rivals both annnounced on Thursday that they will show off a 105-inch curved TV at the 2014 Consumer Electronics Show in January. Both TVs will display 11 million pixels at a resolution of 5,120×2,160 and an aspect ratio of 21:9.
In this corner is LG with its new really big-screen TV — model number 105UB9. LG said that it was was able to curve the display by refining its TFT (thin film transistor) LCD technology rather than trying to use OLED panels, which would be prohibitively expensive at that size.
The company further explained that its fine-tuning will keep colors from leaking and ensure that the view looks good from all angles. The wider screen also lets viewers see information on the side without obstructing the action on the screen, according to LG.
“We’re proud to reveal our 105-inch curved Ultra HD TV at the world’s largest technology event,” In-kyu Lee, vice president and head of LG Electronics’ Home Entertainment Company’s TV division, said in a statement. “Claiming the world’s first and the world’s largest titles, LG’s 105UB9 employs cutting-edge technology to provide a truly unique viewing experience.”
