With a mobile phone, it's easy to tilt the device sideways to enjoy more screen space for viewing videos and The Sero by Samsung applies this concept to TVs. The television boasts a display that's capable of rotating from landscape mode, essentially creating a scaled-up version of a smartphone that can be used for a better browsing and video-watching experience.
The TV looks like any standard horizontal TV, and when rotated, it has the potential to help users avoid seeing black bars on either side of vertical videos. Samsung calls The Sero "a TV that’s optimized for your smartphone, so you can experience the best of mobile entertainment."
Samsung unveiled The Sero at CES 2020, alongside other new innovations that will appeal to Millennials and Gen Z.
