Samsung made a TV for vertical video and I actually kind of like it
It was really only a matter of time. Samsung has made a TV for vertical video in an effort to woo social media-addicted millennials.
Yes, you read that correctly: a vertical TV. It's called the Sero, and it's a 43-inch set with Samsung's Bixby assistant built in.

It comes equipped with built-in screen mirroring functionality, so you can beam video from your phone to the TV, and a 60-watt speaker for music streaming.
It may look a bit strange, but it's actually not a terrible idea. Between TikTok, Snapchat, and YouTube, some of the most engaging mobile videos are shot vertically, so why not give people a way to watch them on larger screens without unsightly black space.
What's less clear is how much demand there is to watch vertical video on a TV in the first place. For millennials who are interested, the Sero will be available in Korea at the end of May and will cost about $1,600.
