It’s apparently known as The wall TV. And today things just got more interesting with Samsung and LG releasing 8K TVs! Well, if you think that is interesting, wait until I drop the bomb! Those TVs support iTunes and Apple’s AirPlay 2, Boom!
Samsung Electronics has formally unveiled its 2019 series of TVs at CES. The 85-inch OLED TV was just not it that Samsung unveiled another 8K TV sized at 98 inches. Not just the two sizes, the 8K models will be available in 62, 65, 82 and 85 inches for purchase soon after the pre-bookings are over.
Software-wise, those Samsung TVs will feature a Universal Guide with “improved” AI capabilities, along with the latest version of Bixby and support for Alexa and Google Assistant voice controls with extended support for iTunes and Airplay 2.
