Technology is by design supposed to keep us guessing and keep pushing the boundaries of our imagination forward, but every now and then, comes along something to disrupt that steady flow of progress, something which leaves one baffling and asking yourself the question "What do i need that for?" and this year, at the (CES 2014) -- an annual consumer electronics show -- held at Las Vegas, NV, LG unveiled the mammoth "105-inches diagonally and sporting a 21:9 aspect ratio" smart TV as reported by Gizmag.
The UI (User Interface) got overhauled, which shows that LG listened to earlier user complaints about the previous UI being to confusing. According to some reviews "user interface (UI), which features sliding card graphics, is powered by software originally created for Palm smartphones, which the South Korean firm bought from its previous owner HP last year," but LG does not plan on stopping there "LG said more than 70% of its smart TVs released this year would use webOS"
What is webOS?
webOS is a "Linux operating system for smart TVs, and formerly a mobile operating system. Initially developed by Palm", it is also an open source development project sponsored by LG.
CES 2014, was packed with giants, and LG was not the only giant in 'Sin City', Samsung was in town and it came with a mammoth of its own, whose sheer size froze us back to the ice age, the 105-inch curved Ultra HD 4K TV. It also comes with a large curved screen which offers a wider field of view, an auto depth enhancer, and a 3D effect without the glasses.
This enormous beast goes beyond its slick exterior, to intrigue us even further with its out of the box functionality. Take for instance, its revolutionary webOS operating system first of its kind in the smart TV quarters. "new webOS onboard as the operating system which aims to make navigating round the various features of the TV even easier." claiming it is "a new paradigm" for smart TVs. But if you thought that, that was interesting, it gets even better.

CES 2014 hosted other worthy giants like Lenovo Vibe Z, which is Lenovo's "first-ever LTE smartphone" it comes with "yet another cutting-edge wireless standard in 802.11ac support. (Lenovo packed Bluetooth 4.0 in there as well.) Equipped with Qualcomm's quad-core Snapdragon 800 CPU clocked at 22.GHz, Vibe Z is capable of upload speeds up to 50Mbps and up to 150Mbps downloads" the review went further on to state "Lenovo promises. Rounding out the phone's superb specs are 2GB of RAM,16GB of storage and a hefty 3000mAh battery behind a 5.5-inch, 1920 x 1080 IPS touch panel displaying Android 4.3. That screen resolution makes for a pixel density of 400 pixels per inch, which Lenovo coins a 20/20 Vision display."
The CES 2014 brought spectacle, promise and mammoths, to view the full list go here. Will there be more surprises? I certainly hope so, the day the surprises stop will be the day IT is buried.
