Bigger is better
Also on display was Samsung’s huge 75inch LED ES9000 Smart TV, which is aimed at satisfying consumer demand for larger screen sizes. The ES9000 differentiates itself from other large 75in+ TVs from Sharp, Sony and LG with a rose-gold finish, diminutive 7.9mm frame and a concealed push-up camera.
Devil in the details
While the details are scant, we did see a 4K resolution or UDTV (Ultra-definition television) on the Samsung stand that can display four times the visual detail of today’s 1080P ‘Full HD’ televisions. Both LG and Sony recently announced their respective 84-inch UDTV variants, and we expect Samsung’s model to have similar specifications once we can confirm the details.
Angry Birds in your living room
Samsung has added some fun into its TV lineup by bringing popular Angry Birds game to Smart TVs that have motion control. By using the Smart Interaction feature, users can activate the unique skills of the different birds and control the action with hand gestures.
It takes just a few minutes to learn, and then users can enjoy a bit of Angry Birds action in full HD via their living room screen. Angry Birds can be downloaded from Samsung’s Apps store although pricing has yet to be confirmed.
