The Most Exciting Consumer Electronics Show (CES) Ever? (part 2)

Continuing from my post on day one, here’s some more of the cool things I saw at the CES show.

Another item that was very high on my list, and apparently everyone else because it was a very busy display, was the Sony XEL-1 11 inch OLED, as well as the larger 27 inch OLED prototype. I was blown away by the pictures of both of these items. The 27 inch is a prototype, but the XEL-1 should be shipping this month at a suggested retail price of $2500.00. It’s rated to have a contrast ratio of 1,000,000:1, with a wide color range and rapid response time, and the panel is only 3mm (.11 inches) in depth. Amazing.

Samsung had its own thin LCD TVs on dislpay…here is one of there ultra-slim LCD TVs.

I wasn’t supposed to take a picture of this, but I took one before I realized (and they told me) that I couldn’t, so here it is. It was really thin, and also had a great picture. I’ve become a big fan of the Samsung product over the last few years…very impressive line-up.

Some other cool things that Samsung displayed were a 3-d DLP (headset required) and game, and a 3840×2160 resolution LCD Panel…which also had an amazing picture. The 3-d DLP and game was very cool also…the football game even had raindrops hitting the screen, which made me feel like I was back in the Northwest!

Hitachi showed it’s prototypes of the slim TVs, and also had some wireless video displays, which I’m sure we’ll see a lot of over the next year. Here’s a couple pictures of those and of one of Sony’s wireless HDTV display.

There was so much information to take in, it’s hard to cover everything here. I’ll try to cover more specifics in the next couple of weeks.

I had a great time at the show, and I think it’s going to be a very exciting year in the world of Consumer Electronics and we’ll see some incredible products launched this year…check back for more!
