Samsung Electronics Co. and LG Electronics Inc. are going to
present 105-inch curved Ultra HDTVs to the consumer market next year. Both of
the TVs will come with ultra-high definition liquid-crystal displays (LCD). Although,
organic-light-emitting-diode screens gave more vivid colors and an extremely
thin body but due to its expensive nature, at this time, companies have
utilized LCDs. LG has also announced a 77-inch curved TV.
Both of the South Korean tech giants will unveil the televisions
at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas next month, i.e. January 5.
However, the companies have not revealed the time, when the TVs will be
available in the market.
Samsung said that the curved TV will give an IMAX-like
cinema experience to the users. On the other hand, LG said that the TV will
give even the “minutest detail in breathtaking clarity.” Both of the LCD
displays has 11 million pixels, compared to 2 million in current HDTVs. The
rectangular 21:9 aspect ratio, a shape similar to that of CinemaScope theater
screens, is wider than current 16:9 widescreen HDTVs.

LG's new TV "makes a dramatic statement about what the
possibilities are for home entertainment," says Tim Alessi, LG Electronics
USA's director of new product development. "Its ... picture resolution and
sheer size will deliver a truly cinematic experience."
“For TVs that are over 70 inches in screen size, curves are
believed to offer a more absorbing view than flat screens,” said Jerry Kang, a
display analyst with IHS Korea.
