Fandango, mostly known for its ticketing service on the web and for mobile devices for cinema viewings, has also been creating its own TV shows. At the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas on Tuesday last week, their service announced that its TV shows will soon, in the coming months hopefully, be showing on the Internet streaming service Hulu on a dedicated channel.

This is Fandango’s first partnership with an on-demand video streaming service that runs on subscriptions.

Fandango’s movie focused shows will be featured on a new channel on Hulu. The awards-focused interview show called Frontrunners will also be included. Within the first three months of 2015, the new channel is scheduled to go live. It is not only available to paying subscribers, but to anyone who visits Hulu’s site.

The vice president of business development and strategy, Mark Young, said that this is the next step in the company’s strategy to create videos that can be played on “any form factor or platform”.

“Our goal is to be wherever there’s conversations about movies, with partners that have scale and are in the right context,” he said.

Fandango could strike similar deals with other similar Internet TV streaming services. Since Hulu is largely about TV discovery, Young said it makes sense for Hulu to be a starting point. Fandango is owned by NBCUniversal which also backs Hulu.

Young said that by creating shows Fandango can move beyond being a simple utility. It gives certain benefits as it leads people to buy movie tickets from the company and helps bring in some money from ads.

Fandango say that views of original video content on the service has increased by 38 percent year-over-year.
So even though that is a really impressive growth figure, this new strategy might be paying of, and with new partnerships they might increase the views even more.

Samsung Group seems to have all sorts of new and innovative electronic devices planned for launch in this upcoming year. One of the tech industry conglomerate’s newest products that it plans to reveal at the CES 2015 is its new all-in-one curved screen pc.

This latest Samsung PC invention is being called the Ativ One 7 Curved. This ground-breaking new desktop PC features a curved display monitor, and Samsung claims that this Ativ One 7 is the very first all-in-one PC to have the famed curved display.

It seems pretty apparent that Samsung has all but dominated the usage of the famous curved screen feature. Throughout the most recent couple of years, the company has added the feature to some of its recent smartphone designs and even a select few of its HDTVs. And then a few months ago, Samsung released a 27-inch curved monitor for desktop computers.

The new Ativ One 7 Curved includes that curved monitor and also has a whole PC built around it. It is a 27-inch monitor and has a 1080p HD resolution. The PC itself is running an Intel Core i5 processor, a TB hard disk drive, 8GB of RAM , and the operating system is Windows 8.1 64-bit version.

A few other added attributes include Dolby Sound Effects, a 1080p HD webcam, HDMI input/output, and APT-X lossless audio transmission technology which is a technology that enhances sound from its dual 10-watt speakers. Samsung smartphone users can use the Samsung company’s patented SideSync 3.0 software to make phone calls, and they can also receive and view their text messages on the computer’s curved screen.

The Ativ One 7’s curvy monitor design helps to lessen screen glare and is more immersive than a normal pc monitor. When the new Samsung curved PC is finally released onto the market, it will have a selling price of $1299.99. The company is planning the Ativ One 7 Curved’s initial launch in the first quarter of 2015.

Technology and gaming fans alike will be pleased to hear about the latest product that tech industry giant LG is planning to unveil at CES 2015. The company has announced its plans to reveal its all-new ultra-wide gaming monitor that supports AMD’s FreeSync technology. This new technologically advanced display will be the world’s first monitor ever made to support the AMD FreeSync technology.

The AMD FreeSync is a monitor technology that aids in the synchronization of the refresh rates of both the monitor’s display and graphic cards, which results in the elimination of “stuttering frame issues” and annoying “screen tearing.” AMD finally released its new FreeSync support in its Catalyst Omega driver, which was loaded with tons of new and innovative features.

Very soon after the AMD FreeSync technology launch, Samsung announced its plans to release its new line-up of 4K televisions that would be compatible with the open source software, but LG’s new monitor will be the first-ever display to actually support the AMD FreeSync technology. At the present, LG is calling this new and improved monitor the 34UM67, and it is said to be a 34-inch monitor display with an ultra-wide 21:9 aspect ratio.

LG has reported that it will be targeting its new 34UM67 model specifically towards the gaming population. The LG 34UM67 is just one the company’s newest monitor models for the new year. Apparently, LG also has at least 3 other new monitor models it is planning to reveal at the CES 2015.

Although LG is only releasing so much information about the innovative new monitor model, it has been dropping hints about certain features such as “Black Stabilizer” and “Dynamic Action Sync,” which reduces input lag. These specs were mentioned in the company’s press release, but more in-depth details such as screen resolution, type of panel, refresh rate, inputs, and most of all– price were purposely left out. Hopefully more of these details will surface at the official CES 2015 unveiling.

Is LG’s new “Art Slim” series LED 4K Ultra HD television panel as slim as a smartphone? That’s what some people are saying about the 75% thinner LCD panel on this new line of LG television sets.

The first details of the latest and most innovative line-up of LG Ultra HD television models were revealed by the company earlier today. LG is claiming that the upcoming 2015 TVs will be showcasing updated and revised designs, 60% faster loading of the webOS 2.0 smart TV platforms, and an even more improved picture quality.

The greater color depths and 25% increase in color gamut of these newly redesigned LG 4K UHD Smart TV models that the company will be launching in 2015 are due to LG’s Wide Color technology.  The color gamut is boosted another 30% by the model’s new Quantum Dot technology. Additionally, this feature is also combined with LG’s local dimming technology, True Black Control, which creates deeper blacks. All in all these 3840 x 2160 Ultra HD models are going to be the company’s most advanced and innovative line-up of smart TV models yet.

New-fangled LED technologies are behind the ultra-thinness of this new Art Slim series LG 4K UHD Smart TV panel, and the cabinet depths are measurable in millimeters. The bezels on these models are much more streamlined and a whole lot thinner for a more innovative and modern look. Even the sound has been upgraded on these new and improved LG smart TV models with integrated Harman/Kardon speakers.

China’s LG electronics and television manufacturers are already being supplied with LG’s new Art Slim series. In 2015, the Art Slim series will be available in a number of sizes from 43” to 65”.

LG will be disclosing more in-depth details of its upcoming new smart television models at the CES 2015 in Las Vegas, NV, which starts on January 6^th. Both the 55” and the 65” Art Slim models will be displayed during the show.
