Samsung is beefing up its Galaxy Book lineup with two new laptops: The Galaxy Book Flex, with a touchscreen and reversible hinge that lets it flip into a tablet, and the Galaxy Book Ion, a lightweight workhorse for more professional pursuits.

​Although many people have fought to get smartphone videographers to shoot everything in landscape mode (horizontally), it appears that the battle has been lost. The proof? Samsung has unveiled an HD TV designed for Millennials, that has a vertical screen.

Samsung has entered the 8K arena with the Q900FN/R. Built around Samsung's quantum dot LCD technology that is designed to compete with OLED, the TVs pack over 30 million pixels and feature AI-powered 8K upscaling – which is just as well given the distinct lack of native 8K content currently.

With IFA 2018 about to kick off, Samsung is launching a new line of ultra-wide, curved, quantum dot monitors. But the main new addition is the Thunderbolt 3 port, which can transfer power, data and display much faster.

Samsung has whipped the covers off its lineup of 2018 TVs. The flagships of the range are built with QLED displays, varying in size up to a monstrous 88 in. Taking up so much living room real estate, Samsung has also packed in a few new features to let the TVs earn their keep even while not in use.

Alongside its usual LCD and QLED offerings, Samsung has a new TV technology on show at CES 2018. MicroLED technology has enabled the creation of "The Wall", a modular 146-in "true" LED display that works like stadium scoreboards, but on a much smaller scale.

Whereas CRT technology used to limit TV size, the move to flat screen technologies has seen the creation of some monster panels. Although it’s not quite as impressive as the 262-in (6.65-m) TV we covered last month, the latest 88-inch offering from Samsung is the largest QLED TV to hit the market​.
