Samsung Brings Curved Display to Its New PC

Samsung’s curved-design for HDTVs now comes to its PCs.

On Dec. 30, the company announced a brand new Ativ One 7 Curved, an all-in-one Windows machine. The 27-inch display has a 1920 x 1080 panel with vivid color and amazing viewing angles.

It is supposed to trick your eyes into believing the display is larger. Samsung has listed the display at 4000R. There is more immersion and less glare. 

The Ativ One 7 Curved features a slight curve in its screen that isn’t as clear compared to recent 4K TVs.

The actual computer aspect features an Intel Core i5 chipset and 8GB of RAM standard. The Ativ One 7 is not a traditional powerhouse type of PC. However, it should be sufficient enough for basic gaming and movie watching.

Inside, there is a 1TB, 5400 rpm hard drive with an embedded flash drive. There are  four USB ports and two of them are USB 3 types. There is also an SD / media card reader.

In terms of software, there are Samsung’s extra features built over Windows 8.1. The program SideSync 3.0 lets you receive texts and calls from your phone on the PC. You can also fully control your smartphone by mirroring the phone’s screen to the PC’s screen on the Ativ One 7’s 27-inch display.

Samsung will start releasing the Ativ One 7 in the first few months of 2015 for an estimated $1,299.

6 Best Video Game Controllers Of All Time That Changed Gaming Forever

First and foremost, don’t judge how my mind operates, alright? Seventy-four percent of you are probably going to be reading this like, “Who really got time to write about console controllers?” This ain’t for you, this for the 26%. What brought me to this is my recent purchase of a Wii U solely for the new Smash Bros video game. I was holding the Wii U controller thinking, “What is this? Back in my day the controller wasn’t a watered down I-pad. We had real controllers! …Stupid next gen consoles with your loud music and HD graphics!!”

This got me thinking about all the good controllers of yester-year and if I’m going to war, which I’d take with me. Everyone is going to have their personal favorite controllers dependent on their console of preference; I’ll try and touch on every– you know what? I’m not even going to try and be non-bias. I’m not sorry about it either.

Nintendo Classic Controller

SONY DSC

I just have to pay homage to the godfather of controllers (No, I’m not going to give it to Atari. That one wasn’t comfortable. Sorry, [Not really]). I’m not sure if I should call this the standard handgun of console controllers or the musket of controllers. It was pretty easy to work, easily accessible for everyone, didn’t take any real skill to handle. The Super Nintendo controller felt like an upgrade. The two extra buttons (extended clip) and the additional L & R buttons up top (scope). It was a great addition to a classic.
