00:00:00,440 --> 00:00:07,080
welcome to Linus Tech tips at CES 2013 our trip to the show this year is

2
00:00:04,680 --> 00:00:11,400
powered by Corsair maker of quality PC components and peripherals our trusted

3
00:00:09,120 --> 00:00:15,120
storage partner is Seagate technology and our trusted networking partner is

4
00:00:16,279 --> 00:00:24,720
linkis in the sharp Booth the first thing we checked out is the flexible

5
00:00:21,039 --> 00:00:26,519
OLED display so this is only a 3.4 in

6
00:00:24,720 --> 00:00:30,119
model they've got two prototypes on display here they have all the same

7
00:00:28,400 --> 00:00:34,120
benefits that we're used to seeing with LED that is to say they have more

8
00:00:31,679 --> 00:00:39,200
vibrant colors better contrast ratios lower power consumption all of that good

9
00:00:36,760 --> 00:00:43,360
stuff however now all of a sudden you can see that with there's one demo there

10
00:00:41,480 --> 00:00:46,120
where it's curved by default and then there's another one over here on the

11
00:00:44,680 --> 00:00:50,399
right where they've actually got it flexing in real time that dramatically

12
00:00:48,320 --> 00:00:55,039
increases the applications that we can use this technology for now this these

13
00:00:53,640 --> 00:00:58,879
particular ones right here Implement Sharp's EXO technology which does a

14
00:00:56,920 --> 00:01:04,280
couple of things number one is that it is a highly sensitive touch panel

15
00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:06,520
technology and number two is that it

16
00:01:04,280 --> 00:01:12,080
actually reduces the power consumption again compared to other approaches from

17
00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:16,080
when when it comes to OLED screens now you might say Okay OLED is already very

18
00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:19,640
efficient why do we care and the answer is if you want to build a larger format

19
00:01:17,880 --> 00:01:24,320
panel or if you want to pack more pixels into it power consumption becomes a

20
00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:29,119
factor again so the great thing about this is unlike so many things we see at

21
00:01:26,320 --> 00:01:33,640
CES this isn't actually science fiction unlike you know product that was in the

22
00:01:30,799 --> 00:01:36,640
Sony Booth where no one from the booth had actually even heard of this or seen

23
00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:40,280
it they basically pulled it out of a box put it in a display stand and no one

24
00:01:38,159 --> 00:01:44,880
knows what it is this could be produced tomorrow if a partner of Sharps said hey

25
00:01:43,079 --> 00:01:49,479
look we we're going to cut a PO we want you to produce this let's get it done

26
00:01:46,719 --> 00:01:53,600
very very exciting stuff now 4K is here in now and sharp is launching a couple

27
00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:58,320
of models this year one of them in the summer and the other one in sort of the

28
00:01:55,880 --> 00:02:03,240
second half of 2013 so that's a 60in first and then a 70in however on display

29
00:02:01,479 --> 00:02:10,000
here at the booth they have what they're calling the future of Television so this

30
00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:13,360
is an 8K 85 in TV that is actually

31
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:15,280
displaying native 8K content so the

32
00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:20,959
difference between 4K and 8K quite simply is four but but not the four

33
00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:26,200
you're thinking of not not not 4,000 actually it is four times the resolution

34
00:02:23,879 --> 00:02:32,000
of 4K content so what I'd like is for my cameraman here to get up close and

35
00:02:28,319 --> 00:02:34,760
personal with this TV sharp is

36
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:41,000
encouraging uh visitors to the show to get as close to the TV as they want and

37
00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:49,400
see if they can actually make out the individual pixels and standing about 60

38
00:02:45,239 --> 00:02:51,560
cm away from it I would say no you

39
00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:57,120
actually can't see an individual pixel so this is still voodoo magic this is

40
00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:59,519
still not uh not ready for Prime Time by

41
00:02:57,120 --> 00:03:04,920
any stretch of the imagination but maybe 5 10 years down the road we'll actually

42
00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:10,400
be getting AK content broadcast to our homes or at least available on some kind

43
00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:13,000
of future science fiction media thanks

44
00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:17,799
for watching Linus Tech tips at CES 2013 powered by Corsair Seagate technology

45
00:03:15,519 --> 00:03:17,799
and

46
00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:28,720
