Was wondering how Samsung would out-do themselves in from their current range.


:

Samsung is planning to release zero-bezel TVs in late 2012 or 2013 to keep hold of its TV throne, according to our colleagues on Stuff.tv.

The current D8000 series TVs sport a mere 8mm bezel, but apparently that's still too much for Samsung.

Not only will Samsung's whole TV line get on board with the zero-bezel look, Samsung is also gunning to make the thinnest LCD/LED TV ever, according to Stuff's anonymous tipster.

With LG's 4mm thick OLED TV due for its debut at CES next week and Samsung's skinny, almost bezel-less 75in D9500 that landed in Korea in November, the next generation of TVs are set to be downright skeletal.

That's awesome. Guess I will need a mortgage advisor to buy one though?

Very nice, makes the 'UGE bezel on my Panny 50V20 look stupid!

Can't wait to see what CES brings

Wow, I thought my new smasung looked awesome, and people really are incredibly amazed at how thin it is!

A good move IMO to house the tv connections in a seperate box too.

 

[Richiev4]

Nice

Nice, time to get 3 and use them for Eyefinity/Surround with a PC

seperate tuner box is like it use to be when plasmas first arrived, it will look awesome tho, the only thing not mentioned is speakers, will they be on a seperate bar !!

imagine one of these running ultra HD as well .

 

[Wizzfizz]

Looks great.. Only I wish manufacturers concentrated more on the performance and improving issues from previous gens, rather than how thin they can get their sets.

Really looking forward to how these OLED TV's come along, they could be very special.

if there as good as they make out, it will kill the plasma market.

I like how they show it off on a stand when the whole point of no bezel and ultra thin is for wall mounting.

75" how much does that cost.

looks very nice, would freak me out if i moved it and chipped the side
Wont be in the reach of the "normal" guy till next year i reckon.

Not sure I'd want bezel less, looks a bit odd to me and I realy don't get the race to make TV's even thinner they have been thin enough for about 3 years now!

This! I personally find that a TV image is like a picture. Sometimes it just looks better with a frame!

On the other hand, give me zero bezel monitors for a triple screen eyefinity setup any day!

Definitely going to wait for this tech to come to monitors before I make the move to Eyefinity. Very nice

I know what I'm saving up for once I've bought a house next year! (Though the other half will undoubtedly scarper my plans ).

 

[OpenToSuggestions]

I like thin bezel TVs/Monitors as it makes the screen feel bigger. My 47 inch LG has a 1 inch bezel around the edge and if it was thinner the screen would really get a bigger feel.
Plus if it was bezel-free then a 50 inch would probably take up no more diagonal space.

Three of these vertically in eyefinity... I may just get rid of the projector... I guess I'll be waiting 5 years after release so I can afford it
