Giz Explains: All The Tech That Make Future TVs So Gorgeous 
The Future Of TV Is Beautiful, Simple And Good Even though this installation at the Nature Research Center in Raleigh, North Carolina, is composed of 3600 see-through glass ‘pixels’ that can only change their opacity, it’s still capable of playing back stunning animations mimicking phenomena in nature.
In a rather surprising post on her blog, Pixel Qi founder Mary Lou Jepsen claims the company’s next-generation transflective LCD technology will not only match the new iPad’s display in terms of resolution, but will also exceed its contrast, colour saturation, and even viewing angle. Them’s fightin’ words.
LCD manufacturers sure do love their acronyms. Samsung in particular went trademark crazy late this March, registering “WAMOLED”, “FAMOLED”, “PAMOLED” and “TAMOLED” with the US Patents Office. These were accompanied by a filing for “Youm”, which, going by the company’s website, will be the official branding for its super-flexible AMOLED technology.
Ah, Japan, you crazy country you. As if your advertising wasn’t surreal enough already, the advent of posters that react to being kissed has taken things into a whole new league.
If the Canon 5D Mark III’s generous 3.2-inch LCD display still isn’t large enough for your needs, the Swivi lets you strap on an even larger 5.6-inch swiveling display for live previews or reviewing shots and footage.
The future of digital reading is flexible. And by flexible, I mean bendable, not multipurpose. Now, LG has announced the first malleable, plastic e-ink display, and while it’s hardly Retina, it will be appearing in devices as early as this summer.
Big news for anyone with a big living room and bigger wallet: LG’s 55-inch OLED TV will be the first of the pack to arrive, debuting in May for $US8000.
If you suffer from the most enviable predicament of having both too much money and too much wall space, the UK’s premiere high-end retail outlet would like to speak with you — something about a 152-inch plasma TV.
Kogan’s latest TV deal has a pretty spectacular price point for a display that large, although there is one slight catch; aside from the normal Kogan issue that you can’t exactly check the quality in person, it’s also a pre-sale price (although seemingly not one subject to Liveprice upticking) for a TV that won’t ship until May 8. If you know you’re going to want a TV in six or so weeks, though, it’s a very appealing price point. [Kogan]
