Samsung launched the world’s first Curved UHD TV in Korea

Samsung launched its 2014 TV line-up, including the world’s first Curved UHD TV, for the first time in Korea yesterday at a TV Media Day event at the Samsung headquarters in Seocho-dong, southern Seoul.
It also expanded its flat UHD TV product line to 110, 85, 65, 55 and 50 inches, saying it hopes to dominate the UHD TV market.
“Samsung Electronics’ Curved UHD TV is an innovative attempt to change the TV paradigm once gain following earlier innovations such as the Samsung Bordeaux TV launched in 2006 and Samsung LED TV in 2009,” said Kim Hyun-seok, head of Samsung Electronics’ visual display unit.
“With the launching of the curved UHD TV, we aim to maintain the top position in the world’s TV market for nine consecutive years,” he said.
It has a Multi Link Screen feature in which users can use smart TV apps to search the Internet, watch YouTube and use social network services while watching TV at the same time.
Viewers can divide the UHD TV screen into four windows.

Samsung strengthened its Soccer Mode so that viewers can enjoy the Brazil world cup 2014.
Its Soccer Mode provides “multi surround sound” along with vivid colors of the field.
Viewers can divide the TV screen into nine in Soccer Mode so that they don’t miss any of the player’s gestures or facial expressions.

Samsung also picked Korean national football head coach Hong Myung-bo as a Samsung TV ambassador for its curved UHD TV’s commercial campaign in 2014.
Nicknamed Korean “Libero,” Hong Myung-bo led a very successful career both as a soccer player and a coach
