So, where is the stand or speakers on this TV? The Sony XBR-A1E Bravia OLED TV being Sony's first OLED set — eight million self-illuminating pixels, incredible viewing angles, HDR support, and insane black levels — this new TV takes advantage of what's unique about the technology. Like other OLED sets, it's extremely thin, but instead of hiding all the guts in a box underneath, or protruding from the back, it hides its powerful processors, inputs, and a sub-woofer in a folding kickstand. As for speakers, it uses the entire screen itself to emit sound, creating a unification of image and audio normally only see in theaters. Available in 55, 65, and 75-inch models.
Designers Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec have rethought how the television should look and be treated in the home. The Samsung "Serif" series promotes itself as an object in the home that can fit into various environments. This lead to the "I" shape design, where it has a slim body center and wider at the top and bottom, the back panel has a knitted fabric that matches the body style.
The Samsung Serif will come in three different sizes - 40", 32" and 21 inch and come in three colors - white, dark blue and red. It also comes with a feature that includes a transition between standby mode and normal viewing called "curtain mode". So what do you think of this television series.
Philips DesignLine TV ($TBA) decided to get rid of the ever-thinning bezel design of TV's and built a frameless sheet of glass. Thanks to this unusual design, it can lean against a wall, stand up, or be hung on the wall, but it still offers features like integrated Wi-Fi, a Full HD LED panel, 3D Max, Ambilight on three sides, and SimplyShare to easily send photos and videos from your iPad and iPhone to your TV. No word yet on a US release.
