Samsung Unveils ChatON 2 0 Gives Sneak Peeks Of Its Smart TV Smart Hub Ahead Of CES
Samsung is keeping its fans entertained during the lull between Christmas and New Years with a several announcements and teasers: a CES 2013 Smart TV teaser video, a sneak peek at its Smart Hub, a content platform for Samsung Smart TV, and a new version of ChatON that turns its cross-platform messaging app into a social media network.
First ChatON gained traction in its efforts to render SMS obsolete. Now with ChatON 2.0, Samsung is positioning the service, available in over 200 countries in 60 languages, as a “micro” social networking platform where users can create personal profiles and post status updates for friends to comment on.
The new version also makes it easier to leave comments or content, including photos and videos, for friends in “the Trunk,” which Samsung describes as an alternative to, or at least a first-stop before sharing on Facebook and other social networks. ChatON 2.0 adds a multiscreen feature that makes it possible to chat up with up to five connected devices on a single account. Users can invite friends to ChatON conversations from different platforms, including Facebook, Twitter and Weibo.
The new Smart Hub’s updated home screen allows users to simultaneously watch live broadcasts and movies while using apps and looking at personal photos. Samsung also said that in 2013, Smart Hub will offer a “more intuitive experience with various contents, live TV broadcasts, VOD, apps, Internet and such.” The “Flipping” function will allow users to flip through five screens like a book with Samsung’s motion control function.
What does Samsung want consumers to use the Smart Hub and ChatON 2.0 on? Presumably its Smart TV, which won’t be launched until CES in two weeks.

G 84 inch Ultra HD 4k 3D TV Eyes on
In case you haven’t been following along with the latest and greatest TVs, the hottest new thing is 4k. Also being called Ultra HD for its eye-numbing ultra-high def resolution of 3,840 x 2,160 pixels. Back in late October LG launched their first 4K TV in the US, the 84-inch $20,000 TV and we got a few quick pictures of it in action.
Here at CES 2013 the brand new LG 84-inch Ultra HD 3D TV was taking up some much needed real estate, and LG was equipping our eager eyes with their new lightweight 3D glasses — no syncing required. The bad boy you see above is officially called the LG 84LM9600. It’s really hard to explain it without you seeing for yourself. The images are exceptionally clear and so realistic I feel like I could touch them.
Then don’t get us started on 3D. Many of our quick hands-on pictures are of the impressive TV blasting 3D images so they don’t quite do it justice, but it really is something to look at. With over 8 million pixels — 4 times that of regular “HD TVs” — the Ultra HD 4K TV brings in-home entertainment to an entirely new level.
In case you missed the launch date news, this TV certainly isn’t cheap. It’s available as of late late 2012 at your favorite retailer for the low price of only $20,000. Or basically a nice new car. As you can imagine, most content available today doesn’t come in those crazy high 4K resolutions — but they’ll be available soon. Get that GoPro Hero 3 Black edition and shoot some Ultra HD video for your enjoyment. Who’s buying?
