1. SAMSUNG INTRODUCES CURVED TVS

Samsung, the world's biggest TV maker, started selling a $13,000 TV with a curved screen Thursday. The screen is supposed to be more comfortable for the human eye and easier to watch from different angles. Samsung is working on two new TV technologies: lightweight organic-light-emitting-diode screens that are more vivid than conventional screens, and ultrahigh-definition displays that offer a resolution four times crisper than existing ones.
