Samsung allowed only a closed group of people to unveil some cutting 
edge technologies at CES 2013 at Los Vegas. Some of the technologies really absorbed attraction of the people. One of the most sophisticated among those was Samsung's massive 85-inch 4K Ultra HD TV which is a thing of beauty. When you look at the screen, it's more like looking out a window . Though the video being displayed we were all well aware that was specially prepared high-resolution footage, and 4K content has yet to arrive. Samsung promises that will change.
Tim Baxter, President Samsung Electronics, is optimistic, but suggested patience. "I think you'll see the content start to develop. It's not going to be an overnight proposition," he said.
It's a familiar tale. HDTV's still deliver higher resolution output than most TV networks broadcast. To get the full benefit of your 1080p screen, you need to watch a Blu-ray movie. And let's not forget that early HD wars between Blu-ray and HD DVD further slowed down the HD content transition.
While it's unlikely we'll see a replay of that scenario, Baxter does see parallels. He said, "When HDTVs first hit the market, there was no content available." The Samsung UN85S9000 UHD TV will face a similar situation when it's released.
In the meantime, Baxter said the 4K sets will upgrade your HD content to the 3820 x 2160 screen resolution of Ultra HD TV. Baxter said that will serve as a bridge until the new content arrives.
Samsung has yet to announce pricing and availability for the giant TV.
Baxter also talked to Mashable about the personalization of technology and Samsung's quad-core-processor-sporting Evolution Kit TV Upgrade module. He said pricing has still not been set for the kit.
