Samsung and LG unveil super-sized 105-inch Ultra HD televisions

DO NOT adjust your eyes, Samsung and LG have announced new super-sized televisions that will be the world's largest and curviest Ultra HD screens.

Living rooms are in for a shock as LG and Samsung both announce the world's largest and curviest 105-inch Ultra HD super televisions.

EVERY January the cream of the tech world show off their shiny new wares at the Consumer Electronics Show - the biggest gadget event on the planet - and this year both companies will be elbowing each other for TV supremacy by unwrapping 105-inch Ultra HD curved sets.

LG began the TV battle by first announcing it will be revealing the "largest curved TV ever made", which is an LCD screen with a resolution of 5120 x 2160 (current Full HD screens are only 1920 x 1080) and a 21:9 aspect ratio that will look more like a cinema screen than a traditional home TV.

Samsung then quickly reacted by also proclaiming it would unveil "the world's first, largest and most curved 105-inch UHD TV" at the show.

This too will have the same resolution and aspect ratio as LG's beast but will adopt different picture processing.

In a Samsung blog it was revealed: "The Samsung 105-inch Curved UHD TV adopts a new proprietary picture quality algorithm that delivers optimised colour and greater feeling of depth. As the curved panel has been further upgraded and TV circuit technology has been added, the combination of the upgraded curved panel with a greater picture quality engine provides the ultimate immersive experience."

It also went on to talk about the curvature of the display: "As Samsung's 105" Curved UHD TV is the world's most curved, it provides almost two times vivid images when viewed from the side and the best possible TV viewing experience from any angle. Also, the 105 incher adopts 'Quadmatic Picture Engine' which delivers all content in UHD-level picture quality no matter what the source is."

Naturally, prices and release dates haven't been mentioned but anything less than $100,000 we'd be surprised.

We'll be bringing you more information on these super sets and other great gadget news from CES when it starts on January 7-10, 2014.
