Fuhu’s behemoth Android tablet has a 65-inch, 4K display - bruntonthersellse1961

Fuhu's newfangled line of enormous 4K tablets is what happens when a tablet whispers "I want to be big"—and its wish is granted.

At the Consumer Electronics Demo, Fuhu is showing off a new line of BigTab tablets that get down at a large 20-column inch form factor and quickly climb into something that almost looks similar a small pool table: 65 inches.

And with HDMI-enabled 4K technology behind the largest 55-column inch and 65-inch model, that means Fuhu is effectively selling a touch-enabled HDTV that can doubly every bit an electronic act as table or flatbottomed a back monitor for the office. But you'll pay for it, course: the 20-inch model is priced at $399, and the prices climb to $2,499 for a 55-inch screen and a whopping $4,000 for the 65-inch framework.

In its suite Here, Fuhu mounted the display on the wall, corresponding a television, but likewise embedded IT inside a wooden table, as well as a poker table. Fuhu superior vice-president Lisa Lee said the company plans to sell furniture organized around the larger tablets, so they can serve as electronic play spaces.

The concept of tabletop play on a large touchscreen monitor isn't unexampled; Microsoft's underived Surface concept did this, and Lenovo launched its own next-gen Sensible horizon tabletop tablet shortly before CES. But neither appears to be as fun as the BigTab.

Each Fuhu tablet contains 2 GB of memory and 16 GB of constitutional storage. But there's another secret they hold: Fuhu plans to ship the largest 55-inch and 65-inch tablets using the new next-genesis Nvidia Tegra X1, which Nvidia promised will put its "Maxwell" PC GPU technology into the tablet blank space. (Smaller models pack Nvidia's Tegra 4 chips instead.) They besides contain WiFi, Bluetooth, and NFC, along with a small 2-megapixel camera for videoconferencing.

To be reliable, Fuhu needs a chip of tweaking to aim these tablets ready for prime time. When we tried to shoot footage of these for the video above, we had to amount back because a building block failed. (Fuju tells us that they wont some customized drivers that apparently aren't to the full realised.) Some apps simply crashed the tablet. And while moving the screen worked pretty well, the tablet seemed to have trouble recording swipes. We didn't wealthy person a chance to run whatever 4K test videos, however.

Fuhu is becoming more known for its lineup of kid-oriented tablets, completely of which feature a sacred, locked-down realistic playspace for young children. Fuhu has partnered with brands like Notch Jr.and Walter Elias Disney to develop proprietary versions of the tablets featuring their respective characters and Television shows, but too plans to train their have animated series, on with Skylanders-like-minded collectibles, for young girls.

Each Fuhu tablet, however, besides features a "nurture mode" that essentially unlocks its capabilities as a standard Android tablet. Here, the parent can set clip limits or apply realistic Fuhu credits to give up the child to buy virtual goodies—or, after the kids have gone to bed, watch Netflix and play games on these raw BigTabs.

And you know, egg laying the Ra-discharged touch-supported version of the master copy Baldur's Logic gate series on a 65-column inch tab like these sounds like an awful lot of sport.

Wherefore this matters:With video prices continuing to plunge, barrage out roughly a dollar per pixel for a high-end touch exhibit seems absurd. But there will forever follow those prefer to disburse the nose for sumptuousness hardware, and Fuhu has impressed me with their attention to detail, specially where the hardware is related. (As noted above, the 65-edge in BigTab chose that moment to conk out when we cherished to shoot a video.) I'm not sure I'd want to risk my friends spilling soda pop or beer on a $4,000 tablet, but boy, would they be impressed.
