Bend your mind with this

If you're in front of the S9C, the curve is less noticeable, but get up close to the edges and you can really see the bend. The OLED panel itself is -- as you can see -- also quite reflective, so you'll want a dark room for the best viewing experience.

A look from the edge

The view from the edge. The metal frame might pick up the odd fingerprint, but it's a real looker.

Delivers a pretty picture

We were dead impressed with the picture quality. Photos don't do OLED justice, so see if you can find this model in your local electronics emporium to take a look for yourself.

A multi-viewing experience

This TV employs Samsung's Multi View tech, which lets two people, each wearing special glasses, watch different programs at the same time. Sounds like a rather lonely experience, but hey -- it could come in handy.
