The new ES8000 55-inch “Super OLED” 3D smart TV of Samsung that has a dual core processor is capable of multitasking. Samsung announced that it would release TVs of this form as large as 75 inches.
Now OLED, having brighter and thinner screens, is replacing LCD. It features of using less power so it is cheaper to manufacture.
Today Samsung make announcement that like the LG 55-inch OLED (organic Light-Emitting Diode) its TVs would be controlled by voice, gestures and face recognition.
Interestingly users can switch the TV on, open apps and perform searches using their voice or hand gestures and such move deals Microsoft’s Kinect no longer controls the gestures space.
Expressing strong confidence over future of 3D TV, Samsung Electronics US president Tim Baxter said, “The new TV will include a single “smart hub” for apps, content and search, and an integrated camera. Users can individually configure their own personal apps when logged into the TV.”
Mr Baxter said, “Almost 20 million Samsung apps had been downloaded worldwide. In the US Samsung’s media hub included a selection of 5000 movies and TV shows. Offerings include a special Angry Birds on-demand channel.”
However Samsung will launch separate video-on-demand services and catch-up services with local content. The ES8000 will be coming to Australia very soon.
Besides offering a special interface for children, interactive fitness programs and Family Story, Samsung also announced a new range of WiFi-enabled cameras in the US capable of being operated remotely from a mobile phone.
Moreover Samsung is being entered with its Samsung’s Galaxy Note smartphone that will be available in Australia and two new Ultrabooks weighing just over 1 kg supporting an aluminium body and backlit keyboard.
For the US, there was also a new washing machine capable of being controlled remotely by an iPhone/iPad app.
