Samsung is vying for the Tiktok generation with its new televisions. Before the start of the technology fair CES in Las Vegas, the electronics company presented a wall bracket for this year’s TV models that automatically rotates the TV vertically. In this way, smartphone videos that were recorded in vertical format can be displayed much larger than with the classic TV orientation. Many users of video apps such as Tiktok, Instagram and Youtube have so far mainly watched the clips on their mobile devices instead of on the television. With the first CES announcements on Monday night, Samsung demonstrated the urge to absolutely want to keep up with the times. The new models get an app with which so-called NFT files can be viewed and traded. NFTs are something like certificates of authenticity for digital works of art, for example. After high prices at auctions, these have experienced a real boom in recent months, which Samsung is now trying to jump on. With another new function, Samsung wants to integrate game streaming, in which the games run on servers in the network instead of on the users’ devices, directly into its televisions. Games are to be supported by Google’s Stadia service and Nvidia Geforce Now, among others. This year’s CES is set to be the first major event in the tech industry since the outbreak of the corona pandemic. However, some large companies such as Intel, Google and General Motors had recently withdrawn in view of the spread of the Omikron variant.
