Samsung says the TV comes with NFC pairing and a "simple mirroring function" to get your smartphone videos on the TV. Like Samsung's other TVs, this has an ambient mode that can display images, photos, clocks, and more when not in use.


First thought - back in the good old days, the thing you most wanted was a bigger monitor. Then the phones brought you to a new world of squinting or partial screen views (as if scrolling wasn't bad enough). So this is designed to be a 43" phone face (?) !
Second thought - well, their $2000 phone's a bust - so maybe they can use their new-found customer confidence to sell you a $16000 version of a cell-phone.

So - I just can't wait until the foldable version of this comes out!

Straw Poll

Were you affected by the geomagnetic storms this past weekend?
Communication disruptions, electrified pipes, random unexplained blue-screens in Windows - the list of effects is terrifying.
