Philips Turns Pane of Glass Into a 3D TV
Philips has launched a new line of TVs called DesignLine, and they're definitely very different from most other TVs on the market.
Aiming to create an "object of desire" rather than just another TV, Philips' designers have created a TV that looks like a seamless sheet of glass with a black gradient.
And when we say "seamless," we mean it: there is no stand, no visible frame (when the TV is off), and the TV is meant to simply be leaned against the wall.
Panasonic 4k OLED TV
Panasonic's initial CES press conference wasn't exactly a resounding success. For while the brand seemed to be doing fine with normal, day to day products, it lacked the sort of chest-thumping next-gen products shouted about so loudly by most of its rivals. In particular, there wasn't even the slightest sniff of either an OLED or 4K/Ultra HD product.
Cut to the following morning, though, and that all changed in an instant. For at his keynote CES speech, Panasonic president Kazuhiro Tsuga suddenly unveiled a 56in screen that combined both OLED and 4K technology in one cool package.
Not surprisingly this prototype screen takes pride of place on Panasonic's booth on the main CES floor, greeting you as soon as you enter the hall. Also unsurprisingly, it produces some seriously mesmerising picture quality.
For starters, moving around it reveals practically no loss of contrast or colour even from fairly extreme viewing angles. This sort of inspection also reveals it to be a seriously attractive bit of kit, thanks to its apparently very high build quality and extremely thin rear - the latter being, of course, a near-universal OLED trait.
The native 4k demo reel being used to show the TV's performance off comprised a mixture of a Cirque de Soleil performance and some of the highly staged 'bright colours against a black backdrop' footage also routinely used by the likes of LG and Samsung to show off their OLED wares. And this all did a fine job of delivering on 4k OLED's three main messages: extraordinary image clarity, remarkably rich colours, and eye-popping black levels.

CES 2013: Samsung Shows Smart TV And Also, Ultra HDTV
Samsung has rolled up to CES 2013
with more gadgets and tech than you thought possible. The South Korean
company took center stage at the annual tech show this afternoon to
unveil everything from TVs to cameras, home audio gear, laptops and
more.
But the real focus was on TVs. Joining Toshiba and Vizio, Samsung unveiled its own Ultra HD TV. For those who are new to this new phenomenon, Ultra HD TVs have four times the resolution of the current 1080p high-definition TVs. That means much crisper content.
"The focus at this show for us is TVs" David Steel, Samsung Vice President of North America, told ABC News.
Watch Video Here: Samsung's S9 UHD TV
The showstopper is certainly Samsung's Ultra HD offering -- the S9 UHD. It is being shown off with an 85-inch or 110-inch screen. Not only that, it looks like it is floating in its frame, since you can adjust the screen.
On the spec front, it has an up-scaling engine to bring HD content to Ultra HD level picture quality and Samsung's Precision Black pro technology, which makes blacks look even darker. The audio quality is also supposed to be top notch with 3-way 2.2 channels of 120 watt audio. Inside it has a quad-core processor so it can play such detailed pictures and sound, and also run Samsung's Smart Hub or app platform.
