THE BIG PICTURE

Home entertainment has always been a major part of CES, and this year, when it came to flatscreen TVS, it was a clear case of “the bigger the better”. Most buzz centred around the organic light-emitting diode (OLED) displays, as they deliver deeper levels of black and can be made thinner and lighter than liquid crystal display (LCD) models. So, when LG fired up their massive new 97-inch OLED TV – the largest of its kind – all eyes were glued to the screen.

But when it comes to sheer audacious design, you’d be hard pressed to beat LG’S ‘Media Chair’; a concept creation that merges a space age recliner with a high-tech, curved, 55-inch OLED screen capable of rotating between portrait and landscape modes with the touch of an armrest button. The screen is positioned so as to be the perfect focal distance away from the sitter, for an optimal viewing experience, and since the TV and chair move in tandem this sightline remains “picture perfect” as the entire chair swivels.
