Samsung 85-inch 4K Easel TV, UN85S9 (Best Of CES 2013)

Samsung 85-inch 4K Easel TV, UN85S9

Samsung announced a 85-inch ultra high definition 4K TV, the largest!  Samsung is coming out with this TV in march 2013.One of the key differences of this TV is that it has a full array backlight around the back, which means it doesn’t have the edge-lit display. Samsung will also include the local dimming on this set so this combined with the back-lit display will improve the picture quality.


The S9 series will also give you the latest Samsung Smart Hub and employs improved gesture controls and a voice-control remote. Possibly one of the more notable innovations is the introduction of the One Connect system, which consolidates all audio/visual cables into one solitary cable that plugs into the back of the TV, getting rid of the frustrating rat's nest of HDMI cables

The TV set has a very unique design, Samsung calls it “Timeless” since around the edge is a very thin bezel and the entire screen sits among a larger frame. The entire screen is built into a sort of external easel. You can actually move the set up and down on the frame or you can even tilt horizontally as well. There is also a camera hidden along the top of the screen, which is used for skype and gesture control. Voice-recognition is another feature on this TV, which allows you to speak to the TV. There is also a new touch pad remote with a microphone included just like the Samsung high-end smart TVs. The 4K Easel UN 85S9 is undoubtedly the most fully loaded television, there is even speakers on the outside bezel, which act like a sound bar. The UN85S9 is expected to sell for a hefty price tag of $30,000!

Samsung UN85S9 TV Specs:

• 85-inch 4K Ultra HD Display (3840 × 2160px)

• 1.35GHz processor with the Quad-Core A15 chipset.

• 4 HDMI ports

• 120-watt 2.2 speaker system

• Smart Hub software, S-Recommendation, and voice control

While there isn't much 4K content out yet, Samsung installed an onboard system to upscale non-4K content to fit the screen. This will allow you to enjoy the TV's amazing picture quality while the media rushes to create content in the newer resolution standard.
