CES 2013: A TV Dominant Event

As expected, this CES was also dominated by the TV category only with every brand like Samsung, lg,, Sony, Panasonic focusing widely on their tv's only.  No doubt that there were some other launches like Sony Xperia Z, Bendable smartphone from Samsung, Vizio android tablet but they seem to have faded out in the light of TV launches like 4k oled from Sony/panasonic, ultra HDTV from Samsung and lg, Curve oled from lg and samsung.

Lets go through a quick round of major tv launches:-

a) 4K OLED TV:- The launch of 4k oled tv from Sony and panasonic was one of my favourite launches at the event. The buzz was already there before the start of CES about the Sony 4K OLED but Panasonic surprised everyone by launching the 4k oled tv. The price of 4k oled tv is abit of concern as per now but looking at the specs, one would say that it's worth the price. We know the amazing picture quality of oled tv's and now watching the same contents on a 4K oled would be a amazing experience. Though it may take a year time in getting these TV released but it would remain in the hearts of everyone who have seen this TV.

b) Curve OLED TV:-The curve oled was the biggest surprise of the event as it came out from nowhere. Samsung launched the world's first curve oled tv followed by it's rival lg. Lg is also potraiting its 55 inch WRGB as the  world's first curved tv that has cinema 3D support. Neither of the brands revealed any info about their curve oleds so we don't have much info on the same, but the prices are expected to be somewhere 10,000$


c)85" Ultra HDTV:- The launch of 85" ultra hdtv made samsung as the manufacturer of the world's largest ultra hdtv defeating lg and Sony just by 1 inch. Samsung also announced about the expected launch of it's 100 inch ultra hdtv somewhere around this year.

Though there were many other big launches at the CES in the display category but these three launches were the one that became the most talked launch.
