LG wants to take a step forward with curved TV, as the technology now allows it, LG will be showcasing the World's first 21:9 curved IPS TV monitor at the IFA 2014 in Berlin at the beginning of September. This is a new monitor that features ultra-wide 21:9 aspect ratio and comes with a curved IPS panel. Its size is about 34".
The monitor should provide remarkable picture quality, its maker says. It has 3440×1440 resolution, which, if we go by vertical pixels alone, could actually be called "Quad HD" as LG does. The new monitor, which has the model number 34UC97, supports Thunderbolt 2 for high-speed data connections, and allows multiple devices to be daisy chained together. It's even got a 7W MaxxAudio stereo speaker system built-in.
The IFA, a leading consumer electronics and home appliances fair, is preparing to celebrate its centennial anniversary this year. Originally launched as the Great German Radio Exhibition in December 1924 in Berlin, the event featured 242 exhibitors showcasing their innovations across 7,000 square meters and attracted 180,000 visitors.
"IFA has always been a unique platform, serving as the ideal meeting point for trade, industry, start-ups, media, and consumers. It remains the only global trade fair in the home electronics sector with a dual B2B and B2C focus," said Dr. Sara Warneke, managing director of gfu Consumer & Home Electronics GmbH, the owner of the IFA trademark rights.
Throughout its history, IFA has marked several significant milestones, such as Albert Einstein opening the fair in 1930, the debut of triple tubes and electronic television, the introduction of color TV in West Germany by then Vice Chancellor Willy Brandt, and the launches of the CD, mp3 compression technology, and the European HD TV standard.
As a global trendsetter, IFA has consistently evolved over the decades while staying true to its core mission: showcasing cutting-edge technologies and fostering interaction between industry, start-ups, retailers, and consumers. Attendees at IFA have the unique opportunity to engage with the latest innovations directly at the exhibitors' stands.
"I am particularly excited about IFA 2024, not only because it remains the world's largest trade fair for consumer electronics and home appliances, but also because we'll be the stage for a wide array of innovations for five days in Berlin," said Leif Lindner, CEO of IFA Management GmbH, the organizer of IFA.
"Moreover, we will celebrate our 100th anniversary in grand style. IFA embodies both a forward-looking vision and a rich historical legacy, something we are immensely proud of."
For IFA 2024, visitors can expect clearly defined thematic areas, with well-curated halls.
IFA is not just about technology; it's also about entertainment. In addition to a comprehensive program at the Sommergarten (Summer Garden) of the exhibition grounds during the event, Berlin will play a prominent role in the celebrations with a series of brand activations titled ‘100Moments,' set to launch 100 days before the fair begins.
Leading up to and during the event in September, Berlin will host various celebrations in honor of IFA's 100th anniversary. The city's key cultural brands and institutions, alongside top companies and innovators from the technology sector, will gather at special locations to mark the occasion.
"The 100th anniversary of IFA is not only a historic milestone but also the beginning of a new era of innovation and global networking," added Lindner.
"As we reflect on a century of groundbreaking technological advances, we are equally eager to embrace the future. IFA is evolving from a traditional trade fair into a global innovation platform that focuses more intensely on the latest technological and market-relevant trends. Today's modern trade fair must transcend the traditional exhibition model and function as a cultural event that inspires consumers, retailers, exhibitors, and the media, while also attracting key opinion leaders."
IFA 2024 is scheduled to take place from September 6 to 10 in Berlin.

Although it isn't official yet, latest leaks are suggesting that Samsung will not be waiting till the IFA 2017 to showcase the Galaxy Note 8. Instead, they will be hosting a separate Samsung exclusive event in New York to announce the next Note in line. This event will allegedly be held merely days before the IFA begins in September and the date is expected to be August 26. Even if this turns out to be true, LG will be right on the heels of Samsung with their successor to the LG V20, the LG V30; which is rumored to be launched on August 31st, a day before the IFA commences.
Given that the LG V30 will be significantly cheaper than the Galaxy Note 8 (expected price is $700), Samsung could have some serious competition on their hands. While the LG V30 will in all likelihood, not feature a curved panel, it is possible that LG may finally shift to OLED panels with the V30. Combine that with excellent camera performance which the V-series is famous for and the Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 to get an idea of what to expect.

LG has just started selling the LG G Watch on the Google Play store. However, we are hearing reports and confirmation about the 2nd Generation G Watch. According to an LG official speaking to the KoreaTimes, LG will unveil a brand new smartwatch (LG G Watch 2) at the IFA 2014 fair in Berlin, which is only a month away.
It's unclear whether LG will show the G Watch 2 to users or have a media and business clients-only affair. The source point that the LG G Watch 2 could have an OLED panel made by LG Display and make use of a Qualcomm chipset.
LG was reportedly eyeing its in-house Odin chips for the task but they aren't yet ready to make it to commercial products.
The Samsung Galaxy Note 4 is just days away from being officially announced at the IFA trade show in Berlin, and the leaks keep piling up. The latest is in the form of a UAProf found on Samsung's mobile site, which confirms a large number of the devices' specifications.
These latest bits of information can be added to what else we've heard regarding the device, including the 5.7-inch display, S-Pen, and USB 3.0 port alongside the fingerprint sensor and heart rate monitor introduced with the Galaxy S5.
The device will also be one of the first to run Qualcomm's latest Snapdragon 805 variant, which is hinted at making an appearance on the SM-N910S model of the Note 4.
Samsung's Sept,3 IFA event is very soon. Here's the first look at the upcoming Samsung Virtual Reality Headset. According to the photo source, the company is set to unveil this device (codenamed Project Moonlight) at its upcoming Unpacked event in Berlin and New York, where Samsung is also expected to announce the Galaxy Note 4.
The image seems to show a focus dial and ample lenses, as well as a front panel that would hold a phone, falling in line with previous rumors.
"Oculus" which uses a Note 3 display in some of its newer headsets has previously been reported to be tied up with this project, a nod to the fact that modern smartphones have large, ultra-high-resolution displays and enough sensors to accomplish much of the orientation that a full virtual reality system needs.
