The latest addition to Samsung’s TV range is the Sero, a 43-inch TV that was designed with the millennial generation in mind and therefore pivots between horizontal and vertical orientations. It’s a much smarter idea than the phrase “vertical TV” would lead you to believe. Acknowledging that most mobile content is vertical, Samsung says the Sero is designed to encourage young people to project more of their smartphone stuff onto the TV by allowing it to go vertical. Throwing in 4.1-channel, 60W speakers along with an integrated navy stand and a minimalist rear design, Samsung seems to hope this TV will function as both a music streaming hub and a handsome piece of furniture.

When it’s not used as a conventional TV or a phone enlarger, the Sero can also serve as a huge digital photo frame or a music visualizer, and Samsung’s Bixby voice assistant will be on hand, too. Samsung intends to put the Sero on sale for 1.89m KRW (around $1,600) in its home market of South Korea at the end of May.

The Sero occupies a weird middle ground between a concept and a real product. Opening a pop-up store in Seoul today and showing off the Sero alongside its existing Serif and Frame TV lines, Samsung is adding to its so-called lifestyle TV lineup. It is putting a price and release date on the Sero. But the company also calls this new TV a concept, and its efforts will surely include close monitoring of consumer feedback to the entire premise. Will millennials warm to the expanded flexibility, or will they feel subtly attacked for the Sero exposing the intensity of their (okay, our) smartphone addiction? LINK

Vertical monitors are thing though, and quite useful. TV is stupid though.

I might consider it if it had a pin hole in the middle of the screen or a notch so my videos looked like shit but lacking that annoying and totally pointless feature I just can't get onboard with it.

That display has a place in the digital signage world too.

And I guess you can stream your Worldstar videos too it as well.

Watching a video filmed vertically on a phone isn’t terrible.

I can see how having a monitor to watch vertical video on would be useful.

My kids are millennials and don’t have traditional tv service like cable or satellite.

I could use a large vertical monitor. The way that they arrange certain editing software apps, it's a must.

I was in a focus group for High Def tv,  the crap they came up with to market tv s at 2.5k plus price points was insane,   they think if they make the tv 1/2 thinner or close fit wall mount, or the remote shape, people will pay big $$$ for the unit.  Needless to say half of the group was drooling over such dumb shit.  I just wanted the price to come down to sub 1K.  The company reps want to keeps the prices high so they are trying to innovate with shape and design elements of the tv,  the picture and sound clarity has reached a peak,  all of the units I saw had amazing picture clarity.

Traditional TV service is over the air.  ABC, CBS, NBC, Fox, etc.

I could laugh off the vertical video crap and their inability to grasp the inherent rotability of mobile devices - were it not for the increasingly vocal millenial contingent that won't shut up about how desktops and laptops are obsolete.
