Along with upcoming high-tech display technologies, it’s always fun to see how brands manage to present existing products in new ways. At Samsung, we checked out a trio of televisions that don’t necessarily offer anything groundbreaking in terms of technology, they just put a twist (literally, in one case) on the way the devices are displayed.
