Samsung gets official with its UT, UD-series video wall LCD products
Samsung chose this week's InfoComm 2009 as the official coming-out party for some of its video wall goodies we first got wind of a few months back. As much as the above photo of four UT-series (Ultra Thin, we're guessing) super-slim bezel LCDs and UD (Ultra-Definition) control make us drool, we've got a feeling it's nothing compared to seeing an even bigger setup in person. The 460UT, 460UTn and 460UTn-UD LCDs tile up with only 6.7-mm of bezel between them, and up to 250 can be controlled by a single UD-server. Oh yeah, and that server can draw from 125 networked PCs to fill all those thirsty pixels. You know, for when your setup really does look like Mission Control. Sadly, prices are accordingly astronomical -- $6922, $7845 and $8614 for the UT, UTn and UTn-UD LCDs, respectively.

Samsung shimmies three ultra-thin bezel LCDs into its 460UT-series
What ups the wow factor more -- ultra-thin displays that seem to just hang on a wall, or a wall that is a display? Yeah, we thought so. For those who still believe in the simple pleasures of screen real estate, Samsung has introduced the 460UT, 460UTn and 460UTn-UD -- 46-inch LCDs with bezels only 2.4-mm thick on the right and bottom and 4.3-mm on the left and top. The models differ only in ancillary features -- built-in networking in the 460UTn and Samsung's Ultra Definition video wall management software in the 460UTn-UD -- with all three panels packing the same 3,000:1 contrast ratio, 700 nits of brightness and 1366x768 resolution. Tell your friends you're not getting a 1080p panel, then silence the scoffs when you show them your 2732x1536 (or more) video wall.
Samsung's 46-inch 460UTn completes that flush, in-wall monitor look
Looking for a unique, specialized LCD TV to fit flush in a recessed wall? Would you say "yes" if you could barely see the bezel, adding to that TV-in-the-wall look? Samsung sure hopes so, as it's pushing out its 46-inch 460UTn with an ultrathin bezel that's just 4.3 millimeters thick on the left and 2.4 millimeters on the right. The screen also includes Sammy's ID 2 solution, which enables smooth transitions between screens, resulting in a more "natural look and feel of videos." Specs wise, we're told that the set has a WXGA resolution (1,366 x 768), 700 nits of brightness, a contrast ratio of 3,000:1 and VGA / DVI / BNC / composite / RS-232 inputs. Mum's the word on price, but we're guessing somewhere between "expensive" and "you don't even want to know."
