As Apple fans patiently wait for their favorite company to make a long rumored television, another major corporation is stepping into the TV game and this one isn't even known for electronics. It's IKEA, the Swedish company best known for affordable easy-to-assemble furniture. They've just revealed the Uppleva, an all-in-one smart TV that's already part of the furniture. Combining an LED screen with built-in Blu-ray player, speakers, wireless subwoofer and fully customizable housing depending on where you plan on putting it, the Uppleva does a lot of things very right. And some things wrong. Watch a full video and discuss this new piece of tech after the jump.
IKEA introduces UPPLEVA, a completely new range that integrates smart TV and sound system with furniture. UPPLEVA brings beauty and functionality to the living room, solving the problem of cable clutter and miss-match between TV and furniture.
