Samsung’s massive bending 4K TV hugs your face by flexing from flat to curved

By Caleb Denison September 5, 2014

Samsung likes to cause a stir, and it’s doing so in style this year at IFA 2014. Featured prominently at the front of the TV display area within the CityCube in Berlin is a monstrous 105-inch 4K cinemawide Ultra HD TV that flexes from flat to curved on demand, and its gathering plenty of attention.

Curiously, Samsung has another impressive display showing, but it’s tucked away in a corner where it could easily go unnoticed: a prototype 55-inch 4K curved OLED TV. After over a year of nary a nod in OLED’s direction, it was encouraging to see that Samsung hasn’t abandoned its OLED TV plans entirely.

Don’t miss: Best Buy just knocked $500 off this 85-inch 4K TV

One of the best TV deals at the moment is perfect if you want a huge TV in your living room.

It's a force to be reckoned with for anyone that wants a home cinema style experience. Let's take a deeper look at it before you dive into the $500 saving.

Why you should buy the 85-inch TCL S4 S-Class 4K TV
TCL is one of the best TV brands for value and the 85-inch S4 S-Class 4K TV is a good example of that. It's huge. Before you consider buying it, it's worth considering what size of TV you actually need. This one needs a lot of room but it looks pretty good for the price. Besides the vast 4K screen, it also has support for Dolby Vision, HDR10 and HLG so it looks great. You can expect better contrast, more accurate colors, and finer details than with other TVs.

This 75-inch 4K TV is under $600 at Best Buy, and we can’t believe it

If you're looking for great value TV deals, look no further than Best Buy. Right now, you can buy a huge Toshiba 75-inch C350 4K TV for $570 saving $230 off the regular price of $800. While it might not be a big name TV brand, it is a huge TV for a great price and it's packed with more features than you would think. If you're keen to learn more, take a look below at what we have to say about it.

Why you should buy the Toshiba 75-inch C350 4K TV
Toshiba may not feature in our look at the best TV brands but it's been around for a long while and you can trust it. With the Toshiba 75-inch C350 4K TV, you get the obvious stuff like a 75-inch screen and 4K resolution but you also get more than you'd expect in this price range. The TV also has Dolby Vision HDR and HDR10 support so that the image quality is even better. There's also Color Remaster technology so that the regional color of an image is restored to look as natural as possible. Much of that is thanks to Toshiba's Regza Engine 4K which helps upgrade picture quality as you watch.

Samsung just slashed the price of this massive 85-inch 4K TV

The Samsung 70-inch Class 7 Series 4K TV in a living room.

Even though Prime Day is over, that doesn't mean there aren't many great Samsung TV deals you can still take advantage of. For example, this massive 85-inch Samsung CU7000 4K TV, which usually goes for $1,300, but can be yours for just $1,200 today. Even though that's not a substantial discount, an 85-inch TV for a little over $1,000 is an impressive price coming from Samsung, which doesn't make many budget-oriented TVs.

Why you should buy the 85-inch Samsung CU7000 4K TV
While you might not find the most advanced panel tech on the CU7000, like OLED, it still uses a great panel that has a lot of the modern features you'd expect, such as HDR10+, which we were somewhat surprised to see at this price point on such a big screen. Of course, the whole thing plays in 4k, which might cause some screen door effect given the lower pixel density, but since it's 85 inches, you're not likely to be sitting very close to the TV anyway, so it shouldn't be a problem. In fact, big TVs like this are great for playing split screen games, and while the TV's peak refresh rate is 60Hz, that's still perfectly fine for these types of games regardless of the console or gaming PC you're using.
