Samsung launches 'The Sero' TV that rotates vertically for viewing mobile content

Samsung has unveiled a new TV which none of us really asked for. Called 'The Sero', the new 43-inch QLED television rotates for viewing mobile content.The company says 'The Sero' is essentially meant for millennials and can be synchronised to a smartphone display via NFC mirroring.Samsung suggests customers can use the vertical orientation to view images or shop while reading comments at the bottom of the screen. When rotated to landscape, the TV functions much like a conventional television.[caption id="attachment_6551011" align="alignnone" width="1024"]
