You sicken and disgust me, portrait-video people.
With the advent of social media, many a-person now records and posts their media in a vertical format. And, with that in mind, Samsung is making a television that can accommodate that by pivoting into a vertical orientation. That is the Samsung Sero.
The 43-inch, QLED Sero comes with it’s own floor stand, to make that integral pivoting possible. And, since Samsung fully expects you to use it for things like Instagram, it can connect to your phone via NFC. It also comes with Bixby support, built-in microphones, and a 4.1-channel 60-watt speaker.
Samsung will continue introducing screens that respect personal consumer tastes.

Really, as far as I can see, the only other real use for a screen with such properties is to play old shmups the way they were meant to be. But that’s just me, I guess (and even then certainly not for the asking price). They’re really pushing the social media uses.
Regardless, the Sero is only available in South Korea right now. And it ships in late May for a cool 18.9 million won (about $16,300).
