Published May 15, 2019 11:18am

This year’s recently concluded Samsung Forum in Singapore proved to be more than just a showcase of the brand’s latest products. It's a testament to the rather surprising things that today’s appliances can do, thanks to advancements in modern technology.

We mean:

1. Television screens can now cover your entire wall — and be in any shape you want

Aptly named “The Wall,” this TV is designed to cover your entire wall — or not, depending on your preferences. It boasts of a modular design, which means you can customize it to become any size or shape you choose.

You want a ceiling-to-floor display for your living room? A screen wide enough to fit all those sheets and graphs and presentations for your office meeting room? cover the wall of your office meeting room, for more effective meetiOr maybe you want an S-shaped television for your bedroom so that you won’t have to remodel and move your window? It's truly unique.

By the way, it also boasts a microLED display with enhanced clarity and colors. The Wall utilizes QLED technology to deliver a stunning visual experience.

2. Refrigerators can tell you when you’re out of eggs (and even suggest recipes)

We've all had this experience: Opening the door of our fridge only to see there isn't anything in there to satisfy your craving. Samsung’s new Family Hub refrigerators can help eliminate that little problem with the View Inside feature, allowing you to know which items are in low supply or nearing their expiry dates.

These refrigerators can even help you plan your meals wisely; the Meal Planner feature suggests recipes based on ingredient availability, food preferences, and dietary needs.

3. Washing machines can cut laundry time in half

Samsung’s new washing machine models are equipped with QuickDrive technology that allows you to manage laundry time and monitor the process remotely.

They also have wash cycle recommendations for appropriate colors and fabric types.

You can also add detergent or fabric softener (or even additional articles of clothing) to your current laundry load at any point during the process.

4. Appliances can talk to you—and recognize your voice

Oh, and have we mentioned that you can actually talk to all of them? These new appliances fall under the banner of Samsung’s 2019 Family Hub line, and are powered by Bixby, the company’s answer to Siri and Alexa.

This means that you can not only control them through your smartphone, but also through voice commands. The best part? They all feature voice ID technology, which allows them to recognize which family member’s talking to them and adjust their settings to suit the preferences of whoever’s issuing the commands. — LA, GMA News
