00:00:00.440 --> 00:00:07.080
welcome to Linus Tech tips at CES 2013 our trip to the show this year is

00:00:04.680 --> 00:00:11.400
powered by Corsair maker of quality PC components and peripherals our trusted

00:00:09.120 --> 00:00:15.120
storage partner is Seagate technology and our trusted networking partner is

00:00:16.279 --> 00:00:24.720
linkis in the sharp Booth the first thing we checked out is the flexible

00:00:21.039 --> 00:00:26.519
OLED display so this is only a 3.4 in

00:00:24.720 --> 00:00:30.119
model they've got two prototypes on display here they have all the same

00:00:28.400 --> 00:00:34.120
benefits that we're used to seeing with LED that is to say they have more

00:00:31.679 --> 00:00:39.200
vibrant colors better contrast ratios lower power consumption all of that good

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

00:00:41.480 --> 00:00:46.120
where it's curved by default and then there's another one over here on the

00:00:44.680 --> 00:00:50.399
right where they've actually got it flexing in real time that dramatically

00:00:48.320 --> 00:00:55.039
increases the applications that we can use this technology for now this these

00:00:53.640 --> 00:00:58.879
particular ones right here Implement Sharp's EXO technology which does a

00:00:56.920 --> 00:01:04.280
couple of things number one is that it is a highly sensitive touch panel

00:01:00.800 --> 00:01:06.520
technology and number two is that it

00:01:04.280 --> 00:01:12.080
actually reduces the power consumption again compared to other approaches from

00:01:09.680 --> 00:01:16.080
when when it comes to OLED screens now you might say Okay OLED is already very

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

00:01:17.880 --> 00:01:24.320
panel or if you want to pack more pixels into it power consumption becomes a

00:01:21.560 --> 00:01:29.119
factor again so the great thing about this is unlike so many things we see at

00:01:26.320 --> 00:01:33.640
CES this isn't actually science fiction unlike you know product that was in the

00:01:30.799 --> 00:01:36.640
Sony Booth where no one from the booth had actually even heard of this or seen

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

00:01:38.159 --> 00:01:44.880
knows what it is this could be produced tomorrow if a partner of Sharps said hey

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

00:01:46.719 --> 00:01:53.600
very very exciting stuff now 4K is here in now and sharp is launching a couple

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

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

00:02:01.479 --> 00:02:10.000
here at the booth they have what they're calling the future of Television so this

00:02:05.960 --> 00:02:13.360
is an 8K 85 in TV that is actually

00:02:10.000 --> 00:02:15.280
displaying native 8K content so the

00:02:13.360 --> 00:02:20.959
difference between 4K and 8K quite simply is four but but not the four

00:02:18.680 --> 00:02:26.200
you're thinking of not not not 4,000 actually it is four times the resolution

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

00:02:28.319 --> 00:02:34.760
personal with this TV sharp is

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

00:02:38.120 --> 00:02:49.400
see if they can actually make out the individual pixels and standing about 60

00:02:45.239 --> 00:02:51.560
cm away from it I would say no you

00:02:49.400 --> 00:02:57.120
actually can't see an individual pixel so this is still voodoo magic this is

00:02:54.080 --> 00:02:59.519
still not uh not ready for Prime Time by

00:02:57.120 --> 00:03:04.920
any stretch of the imagination but maybe 5 10 years down the road we'll actually

00:03:02.040 --> 00:03:10.400
be getting AK content broadcast to our homes or at least available on some kind

00:03:06.560 --> 00:03:13.000
of future science fiction media thanks

00:03:10.400 --> 00:03:17.799
for watching Linus Tech tips at CES 2013 powered by Corsair Seagate technology

00:03:15.519 --> 00:03:17.799
and

00:03:25.720 --> 00:03:28.720
