Many manufacturers embark on annual road shows around Australia to
promote their product ranges to retailers, their sales staff and the media. It’s
a way to drum up excitement about new products they’re planning to bring into
this country in the coming months.
CNET.com.au toured Samsung’s 2007 AV road show, which was
themed the “Art of Experience”. The company wants to impress with the
smart (mostly piano black) styling of its AV products, so it set the exhibition
up to resemble an art gallery.
Watch the video to see Samsung’s John Fragiadakis introduce some
of the more interesting new offerings, including the M8 Series of 1080p LCD
TVs, upscaling DVD players and a pretty cool Auto Mount system for adjusting wall-mounted big screens
through the remote control.
