Video: 50-inch multitouch TV on display from Samsung

If there's one thing for sure here at CES it's that we've seen a bunch of multitouch devices, both good and bad. Add this 50-inch multitouch display from Samsung to the list titled "cool as hell." Once we were done snapping shots of the P3, we saw people surrounding this bad boy so we decided to see what was up. We don't have much info but one thing's for sure: these devices are much more fun when you're just playing around rather than using it for some more meaningful purpose. Peep the video after the jump.

Now thats cool

lol why? a tv works for one thing and that is playing media this is simply done using a remote control from the comfort of your couch. Maybe if this was priced around about where Sony sell their 50 inch LCD's i would consider it but i just cannot see the point of this how often are you going to put in your sd card and browse your photos?...

PC MultiTouch FTW.

Can you say gorilla arms?

[GingerFox @ Jan 10th 2009 7:31PM]

i can say it but i dont have them:(/:)

[Booger @ Jan 10th 2009 7:31PM]

What a ridiculously stupid idea ! I have enough problems with my dimwitted friends leaving dirty fingerprints on my Kuro, and that's when there is absolutely no good reason to touch the screen !

[I.E @ Jan 10th 2009 7:43PM]

i guess if it's not in your sitting room it couldn't possibly have any other meaningful uses right?

[NoPantsOn @ Jan 10th 2009 8:14PM]

booger i'd put a picture of you mother up there and multi-touch her on that sexy 50in screen with your dimwitted friends anytime

fingerprint or not, who gives a damn. it's a freaking 50in multitouch TV

NoPantsOn: Best reply ever.
That aside, isnt this going to piss off all of those fat, channel surfers when they realize they have to get up off their asses to take advantage of the extra grand or two they spent on this tv?

[GBeatzRecrds @ Jan 10th 2009 8:04PM]

introducing.. Microsoft Wall

[Cris T @ Jan 10th 2009 8:23PM]

Can't wait :-)
I wonder how much this will be!

[a ham sandwich @ Jan 11th 2009 2:38AM]

It's a big ass wall!

[slipstreamghost @ Jan 11th 2009 1:24AM]

Mmmm, is the remote control has a telescopic poker to use it from the couch?

[superhobo @ Jan 11th 2009 12:09AM]

Microsoft had it right with the table Surface.

[shugg @ Jan 11th 2009 1:00AM]

i have 3 rules in my house,, nobody touches my 52' inch sony lcd 1080 p 20hz lcd,2,nobody touches my remote 3, nobody ever under any circumstances touches my sony screen.

[Booger @ Jan 11th 2009 4:18AM]

NoPantsOn - It was actually your mother who complained about the fingerprints when we were watching porn together - That was right before I Bum****ed her...

[G @ Jan 11th 2009 4:20AM]

WHY OH WHY!!??


Why does the world need a 50-inch multitouch TV? You can draw with your fingers and move pictures around? That's fun for about 2 days after you buy it, after that you just use it like a regular TV and think about how you could have better spent your money.

[jambo @ Jan 24th 2009 7:27AM]

i want it :(
it's really cool

[JIm Jones @ Jan 11th 2009 12:57PM]

Amazing, seems Samsung is always on top of the ball and ahead of their game!

This isn't, most likely, for the home buyer. It's most likely for educational institutions that don't want a projector plus a smart board.

Finally, hands on Porn in Real time, Harray!!!

[Dan @ Jan 12th 2009 11:24PM]

I mounted my 52 inch Samsung lcd high up on the wall for one reason and one reason only. "No damn fingerprints"!! (I have a three year old and a four year old). I would be afraid to scratch the screen on this one. They may claim scratchproof, but we all know how that one goes. This tv is cool as hell for show, but I'm not too sold on everyday use.
