The 2019 CES Show: A Year of Innovation in TVs
This year's Consumer Electronics Show (CES) was a truly remarkable event, showcasing some of the most impressive and innovative technology from around the world. Among the many exciting developments on display, one thing stood out above the rest: the latest advancements in television technology.
Wireless Surround Sound Takes Center Stage
One of the biggest surprises at CES this year was the demonstration of Wireless surround sound. This revolutionary technology allows for a truly immersive audio experience, free from the constraints of traditional speaker systems. The Samsung booth showcased their latest 219-inch micro LED TV, which promises to deliver unparalleled picture quality with its emissive pixel structure and modular design. But what really caught our attention was the concept of wireless surround sound, allowing viewers to experience an even more engaging cinematic experience at home.
Samsung's 219-Inch Micro LED TV
The Samsung 219-inch micro LED TV is a game-changer in the world of television technology. Its use of only red, green, and blue pixels makes it incredibly bright and colorful, with true black levels that are unmatched by any other display on the market. The modular design allows for customization and flexibility, making this TV a truly unique addition to any home entertainment setup.
LG's Stunning 88-Inch 8K OLED
Meanwhile, at the LG booth, we had the opportunity to experience their stunning 88-inch 8K OLED TV. This behemoth of a screen is not just big – it's also luscious and rich in picture quality. With its cutting-edge OLED technology, LG has created a viewing experience that's truly breathtaking. But what really sets this TV apart is its support for Apple AirPlay, allowing users to stream their iTunes content with ease.
Sony's 98-Inch 8K LED TV
At the Sony booth, we were blown away by their 98-inch 8K LED TV. This massive display boasts an incredible picture quality, thanks in part to Sony's X1 Ultimate processor. This powerful system not only upscales any content but also cleans up images with a level of detail that's unmatched by any other TV on the market. But what really sets this TV apart is its cinematic feel – it's truly like watching a movie at home.
TCL's 75-Inch 8K Roku TV
TCL, known for their affordable and feature-rich TVs, took center stage at CES with their new 75-inch 8K Roku TV. This massive display is not only incredibly large but also comes at a price that's hard to beat. With its support for Dolby Vision HDR and other high dynamic range formats, this TV promises to deliver an unparalleled viewing experience without breaking the bank.
Vizio's P-Series Quantum X
At the Vizio booth, we saw their latest flagship model: the P-Series Quantum X. This TV takes a bold step forward in terms of picture quality, offering aggressive color accuracy and brightness that rivals the best TVs on the market. While it doesn't support HDMI 2.1 like some of its competitors, Vizio is making up for it with innovative features like their Quantum Dot technology.
Hisense's Uh9 8K Quantum LED TV
Finally, at the Hisense booth, we were impressed by their new Uh9 8K quantum LED TV. This massive display boasts an incredible 2200 nits of peak brightness and over a thousand zones of local dimming, making it one of the most picture-quality-rich TVs on the market. And with a price tag of $3,500, this TV promises to be an affordable option for those looking for the best viewing experience.
Chroma3 Laser RGB Laser TV
Last but not least, we had the unique opportunity to check out the Chroma3 Laser RGB Laser TV from Hiensus (also known as Hisense). This ultra-short throw projector can create a massive 100-inch image with less than seven inches of screen space. With its built-in TV tuner and cutting-edge RGB laser system, this TV promises an unparalleled viewing experience that's unlike anything we've ever seen before.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enthis has been a huge year for TVs at CES in some cases quite literally in the past we've seen some evolution on some existing technology other times it's a bunch of buzzwords that leave us really cold when the rubber hits the road but this year we saw some real innovation so with that in the mind here are the best TVs we saw at CES 2019 let's start with the most intriguing the one you just saw behind me LG 65 inch 4k OLED Type R the R stands for roll-up or as we like to call it roll ed the TV emerges from a long rectangular box like a phoenix from the ashes and when you're done watching it rolls right back down out of sight it can also be minimized into what LG calls line view to deliver different kinds of content there's integrated speakers but LG is supporting whysa this year which means Wireless surround sound is now possible in a whole new way from the most remarkable to the biggest TV here this is Samsung's 219 inch of the wall it's a micro LED TV which means there's no backlight it's emissive like OLED but unlike OLED it uses only red green and blue pixels so not only can it deliver true black levels but it's incredibly bright and colorful this is a modular system too so the idea is that you can assemble it in any size or shape you want but as conventional TV sizes go Samsung went and surprised us with a 75 inch variant which could be a TV you could own one day back to the LG booth this is the stunning 88 inch 8k OLED it's not just big its luscious the picture is deep rich and intoxicating for best picture quality at the show this is it for us it's also important to point out that LG like all the big manufacturers is supporting Apple AirPlay too so you can now play your iTunes movies TV shows and music through the TV using your iOS device or Mac next up is Samsung's ninety eight inch 8kq LED TV not only is it big but it's super well designed both from an aesthetic standpoint but also the user experience from Samsung's no gap wall mount to its automatic source detection to the one connect box and the one connect cable this TV is just a bigger version of the 8k awesome we've come to expect from Samsung count on Samsung's AI upscaling system to make any Content you watch from any source look great at a ke resolution also Samsung TVs are the only ones to actually get the iTunes app on their TVs this year Sony also has a 98 inch 8k LED TV and it's a looker the feather in sony's cap is its x1 ultimate processor which does an incredible job at not just upscaling but cleaning up an image those banding artifacts you get with streaming content which let's face it is mostly what we watch looks smooth as silk on this TV and that's critical at this size Sony makes a few other 8k models this year

difference here is that it's a roku TV and that it will come in far less expensive than its competition with TCL producing an 8k TV at this size it's likely far more people will be able to take the step up in resolution if they want to it doesn't hurt that the TV supports Dolby vision HDR 10 and HL g types of high dynamic range content directly from the roku platform making it one of the most user-friendly tvs on our list next we take a visit to vizio where we check out the p-series quantum X this is their flagship for 2019 now it's not 8k it does come in 75 inch and 65 inch variants only
