What we've done is create TVs at the very edge of design by creating a virtually edgeless TV. The bezel that has traditionally framed the TV screen has virtually disappeared.

This video features Samsung Electronics America's Consumer Electronics Division's President Tim Baxter and Senior VP John Revie present Samsung's new Smart 3D TVs.
