TECHNOLOGY
Some of the coolest and
weirdest picks from CES 2018
include:
1- The Wall by
Samsung
CES is always packed with
previews of new television
sets, but few of this year’s
models made quite the
impression that The Wall by
Samsung did. This huge 146-
inch modular TV is virtually
bezel-free, which means you
can stack several sets side-
by-side, should your living
room wall be bigger than 146
inches diagonally.

Of course this isn’t primarily
aimed at your living room
– it’s for public spaces and
business rooms, while
also showing off the kind
of technology Samsung is
working on that might filter
down to more consumer-
friendly sets. In the case
of The Wall, that’s the
new MicroLED tech, with
super-small LED lights for
improvements in brightness,
contrast, color volume, and
color gamut.
Samsung didn’t attach a price
to The Wall, or say when it
might go on sale to those who
can afford it, but it shows that
TV makers are ready to go
bigger and better than ever in
2018.

2- Nvidia Big Format
Gaming Display
Nvidia’s first BFGD follows a
growing trend in the industry
for premium gaming displays
at a premium price, and the
Nvidia BFGD shoots straight
to somewhere near the top of
the pile. It offers 4K resolution,
a huge 65 inches of screen
space, support for HDR, a 120
Hz refresh rate, and ultra-low
latency.
In other words, all the specs
that gamers are going to take
notice of. Nvidia isn’t actually
making any monitors though,
just supplying the panel tech
– so look out for hardware
launching from partners
including Acer, Asus, and HP
in the coming year, making
use of the Nvidia BFGP
technology.
Prices will vary depending
on the model, but Android
TV comes built in as well, so
once you’ve finished your
gaming session, you can kick
back and watch something
from Netflix, Hulu or another
of your favorite streaming
apps.
