The major television manufacturers were also in full force for this years’ event, with the emphasis on being able to handle 4k displays.<\/p>\n

Sony \u00a0showcased their thinnest 4K TV display the XBR X900C (55in and 65in in size) and the XBR X910C (75in). The new models use the Android TV operating system, which in my opinion is far better than the Play Station style operating system the current models come with, the new models come with a voice search function using Sony\u2019s PlayStation Now network. TV models can also play PS3 games from Sony\u2019s gaming network.<\/p>\n

LG, the Korean electronics giant also released about 7 OLED TV models at the event. The sizes range from 55in to 75in and is expected to have amazing color reproduction and deeper blacks than the current models. They also showed of their flexible OLED display when they previewed a flat TV screen which with a touch of a button becomes curved. We are pretty certain that this technology will not come cheap.<\/p>\n

Samsung premiered it line up of \u201cSUHD\u201d which they claim has deeper blacks and is 2.5 times brighter than anything currently in the market. It comes equipped with \u201cTizen\u201d which is and opens source operating system which lets everybody create apps for the system. Samsung is now competing head to head with Google\u2019s Android TV operating systems.<\/p>\n

Audio-Technica has also gone down the way of Hi-Res audio, premiering a new set of headphones called the MSR7 alongside the AT-PHA100 Portable Headphone Amplifier also targeted to the high end consumer. When combined the set is designed to offer high-end hi-fi performance without the need for a huge, hulking hi-fi systems.<\/p>\n

Automobile manufacturers are currently increasing their presence in the event.<\/p>\n

Ford pioneered this with Microsoft in 2007 with \u201cSYNC\u201d, now they are showcasing \u201cSYNC 3\u201d which offers more connectivity in the infotainment systems of the car. Ford President and CEO Mark Fields also gave a key note speech where he reinforced Ford\u2019s commitment of integrating more and more technology into their cars.<\/p>\n

Toyota is\u00a0spear heading the use of hydrogen fuel cell technology in vehicles and is offering to grant the use of its 5,680 patents and other related technology royalty free from now until 2020. That is indeed a great boon to other automotive manufacturers, if they want to go into hydrogen fuel cell cars.<\/p>\n

BMW on the other hand showed off it technology packed BMW i3. The car features 4 laser sensors that give it a 360 degree view of its surroundings. This means the car can navigate its way and park itself without any input from the driver. The car also features a Batman like interface where you can voice activate you can and have it drive up to you, now that is a great way of having a driven to you without a driver.<\/p>\n
