Samsung SUR40, The Next Generation Microsoft Surface

Samsung SUR40, The Next Generation Microsoft Surface

A new generation of Microsoft surface smart table is ready for consumption. We've seen it at CES, but the SUR40 can now be purchased for about $8400. This is a massive 40″ touch display equipped with Gorilla glass to improve its toughness (it's the biggest Gorilla glass ever). Underneath this layer of protection, Samsung and Microsoft have built PixelSense, an LCD technology that turns every single pixel of the screen into a tiny infra-red (IR) sensor.  With this capability, the table knows when something touches it simply because it blocks infra-red light from reaching the sensor.
