Samsung ES8000 released in South Korea

The Samsung ES8000 which picked up the Innovation Award at CES 2012 last month, has finally made its way to official sales channels in South Korea – marking the first time it is sold worldwide. This is a smart TV that intends to be different from the rest, where it is capable of identifying and understanding users, while Samsung claims that this TV will be able to evolve so that it can keep up with the latest technology. I am guessing that firmware updates will be the main upgrade path, just like how modern game consoles are. Apart from a generous, quality display, it will also boast powerful hardware and a post-minimalist design. Nice to know that the Samsung ES8000 can recognize voice and gestures as part of its “Smart Interaction” feature to make your TV watching experience easier. Anyone looking to update the TV in their living room for this year? You might want to start saving up for this puppy from today onwards. [Press Release]
