The Irrelevance of Ultra HD

, Jan 10th 2013 Discuss [0]

CES is about the future of consumer electronics; I get that. We go to see what’s going to make our eyes light up later in the year. But take a glance at our CES 2013 Hub and it’s clear that Ultra HD was the tech most of the big companies were pushing, and it’s arguably the most irrelevant theme to the electronics industry – for the near future, at least – we’ve seen in some years. Not since the very earliest days of 3D have we seen a segment so desperate to validate its own existence, and failing so miserably.

Thought Samsung’s 85-inch Ultra HD TV was huge? Wait ’til you see the 110-incher…

, Jan 8th 2013 Discuss [0]

Samsung's Ultra HD TV reveal at CES yesterday was certainly impressive, but the company only brought out its "smallest" set to show on stage - there's a 110-inch behemoth waiting in the wings. Having joked that the larger model - which sits at the top of a three set line-up, with a 95-incher in-between - wouldn't fit through the doors of the conference hall where it held its opening presentation, Samsung saved the largest Ultra HD for an eye-searing display on its stand.
