Samsung has shown off a TV that can rotate into portrait orientation:
Samsung has unveiled a TV that switches from a horizontal, landscape-style orientation to vertical - so it can easily display smartphone content. The 43in device is called Sero and comes with an integrated easel-like stand upon which the screen pivots. It will go on sale in South Korea towards the end of May and cost 1.89m won (£1,250).
One TV analyst said it was an interesting concept - but might have limited applications. Sero will come with a microphone and Samsung's virtual assistant Bixby built in. It can also be set up to display photographs, a clock face or other images. Among the content users might choose to watch on it may be a new series of shows by Snapchat, designed for mobile consumption and set to be launched in May.

Does it come with control over which way the image faces? Sometimes I want to override the accelerometer in my tablet so I can lie on my side and read with the text lined up with my eyes. You know, the same way you turn a book sideways when reading stretched out on your side.
