Samsung teases 'Super' OLED TV with CES banner
Like UnlikeFiled in: TVsSamsung
The CES showfloor doesn't open until next week, but here's one reason to arrive early in Las Vegas. Banners are popping up outside the convention center, and one of the big ones looming over the Central Hall entrance advertises its OLED TV presence. The choice of hyperbole specifically is "Ultimate TV... Super OLED Sensation." If we had to guess what size this "Super OLED" TV would be, we'd probably say 55 inches — that's how large LG's recently-announced (and self-touted "world's largest") OLED TV is, and that's the size Samsung is expected to release before the 2012 Olympics. With LG's set also being just 4mm thin, we're curious to see if Samsung will try to match the thickness or try to d...

Toshiba promises world's thinnest and lightest 10.1-inch tablet and 13.3-inch Ultrabook, 55-inch QFHD TV, other wonderment for CES
Like UnlikeFiled in: TVsNotebooksToshiba
It's dangerous to throw titles like "world's thinnest" and "world's lightest" around at events like CES -- what was a record breaker on Tuesday morning has a tendency to look a bit portly by Wednesday afternoon. But, never mind the caution, here comes Toshiba pledging both the thinnest and the lightest 10.1-inch tablet and 13.3-inch Ultrabook (though that latter one could just be referring to the Portege Z835 we've already reviewed). We'll have to wait a few days for any further details, though. The company is also promising to show off an OLED reference tablet with waterproof construction and wireless power plus a 55-inch QFHD television with glasses-free 3D. No world records there, but it ...

Apple Insider Announces Problems with HDTVs
Like UnlikeFiled in: TVsApple
Everyone is really hoping that Apple will release their first HDTV this year. But if Apple is not satisfied with their product it will never be released. Today, an anonymous Apple employee tipped the news that Apple has been having “problems” securing the deals they want in order to provide the content they want to give the consumers. The tip helps confirm that Apple is developing their own set of HDTVs, but doesn’t help tell when these sets will be unveiled to the public. The other major tip this worker gave was that one of the TVs measures 50 inches, diagonally, which is bigger than previously predicted.

Like UnlikeFiled in: TVsGoogle
9% of consumers in the United States have already cut cable TV service from their monthly utility bills, the latest State of the Media Democracy survey from Deloitte indicates.

China to get its first 3D TV channel within weeks
Like UnlikeFiled in: TVs
Half a billion TV set owners could soon have the perfect excuse for an upgrade: a new 3D channel that has already started broadcasting on a trial basis and is due to launch officially over the Chinese New Year. Operated by China Central TV and a handful of local stations, it'll transmit 4.5 hours of free-to-air fuzzy red and green content each day, which can be picked up by anyone with a hi-def set-top box and a 3D TV. They won't have to watch it on a 71-inch 21:9 panel, but it'll certainly help.

Samsung's Smart TV SDK reaches 3.0 with support for USB controllers, payment and ads
Like UnlikeFiled in: TVsSamsung
Even though all signs indicate Samsung will be joining the Google TV party shortly, it's not going to give up on its own existing Smart TV platform just yet. We don't know if it will run the two side by side as it has operated with Yahoo! Widgets, but the Korean manufacturer has announced it plans to release version 3.0 of its SDK January 5th. The new Samsung Apps toolkit supports mobile devices and TV sets, and lets developers build in support for remote controls, as well as USB mice, keyboards or gamepads. Of course, not all devs will work for free, so they're also adding a way for them to get paid through the built-in payment system or advertisements. Currently, Samsung claims 25,000 deve...

Samsung launching 3D YouTube app for its smart TVs
Like UnlikeFiled in: TVsSamsung
Samsung launched "YouTube on TV" today, an app that brings 3D videos from the world's most popular video-sharing site to Samsung smart TVs. The service was announced at IFA in September, and Samsung promised it would be available by the end of 2011, so the release is just in time. 3D video content is still fairly difficult to come by, and the app is an attempt to fill that void with more than 8,000 "high-quality" 3D YouTube videos. Although Samsung's app should work anywhere in the world, YouTube currently only offers 3D video in North America, UK and Japan — the service should roll out to other countries in the future. We can't find the "YouTube on TV" app on Samsung's app store yet, but it...
