The Future of Consumer Electronics: What to Expect at CES 2017

As we head into the new year, the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) is just around the corner. The TechnoBuffalo crew will be there to bring you the latest and greatest from the world of consumer electronics. We'll be covering trends, must-see products, and what's new in the tech industry.

The Future of Cars: A Major Focus at CES

In recent years, cars have become a major focus at CES. The automotive industry has filled the void left by the decline of mobile-focused announcements at the show. This year promises to be no exception, with a wide range of self-driving prototypes and connected cars on display. Every major auto manufacturer will be there, showcasing their latest innovations and touting what's next in the world of mobility.

Expect to see four to five new models unveiled, including the production car from Faraday Futures. The latter has been generating significant buzz in recent years, and its presence at CES is highly anticipated. Other manufacturers have been working on similar projects, and it will be interesting to see how they stack up against Faraday's offering.

Wearables: A Decline in Interest?

Last year, wearables were a major trend at CES. However, as the market has become increasingly saturated, interest in wearable technology has waned. As a result, we don't expect to see much innovation in this area at this year's show. Instead, manufacturers will be focusing on more exciting developments in displays, such as OLED TVs with HDR and 4K capabilities.

These new display technologies are expected to become even more prevalent at CES, with thinner screens and improved overall performance. LG has already made a splash with its Signature Series, which boasts an incredible glass-on-glass design. We can expect similar innovations from other manufacturers, including Samsung, which has been touting the benefits of its OLED panels.

TVs: The Big Push Towards HDR

The TV industry is on the cusp of a major revolution, thanks to the advent of High Dynamic Range (HDR) technology. This innovative feature offers improved contrast and color accuracy, creating a more immersive viewing experience for consumers.

At CES, we can expect to see a wide range of new TVs that incorporate HDR capabilities. LG will be showcasing its Signature Series once again, with an emphasis on the benefits of this technology. Samsung has also been working on HDR-enabled displays, and we can expect to see similar innovations from other manufacturers.

Pricing: A Major Focus for TV Manufacturers

One of the biggest challenges facing TV manufacturers is pricing. With so many new features emerging in the market, it's becoming increasingly difficult to keep costs down while still offering consumers a high-quality product.

At CES, we can expect to see some major announcements regarding pricing strategies from major TV manufacturers. LG has already hinted at plans to reduce prices for its Signature Series, making these incredible displays more accessible to consumers. It will be interesting to see how other manufacturers respond to this trend.

Batteries and External Batteries: The Next Big Thing

In an era where devices are becoming increasingly dependent on battery power, external batteries have never been more relevant. This year's CES promises to be a major showcase for these innovative products.

We can expect to see a wide range of new battery technologies on display at the show, including those with USB-C and Thunderbolt 3 capabilities. These innovations will enable consumers to charge their devices on the go, making them ideal for use in situations where access to a power outlet is limited.

Accessories: A Growing Importance

As technology continues to advance at a rapid pace, accessories have become increasingly important. This year's CES promises to be no exception, with a wide range of new products and innovations on display.

One area that we can expect to see significant growth in is accessories for devices that incorporate USB-C and Thunderbolt 3 capabilities. These technologies are becoming increasingly prevalent, but there is still a need for high-quality accessories that take full advantage of their features.

Vaporware: The Fun of CES

CES has always been a show where manufacturers reveal products that never quite make it to market. This year's event promises to be no exception, with a wide range of vaporware on display.

We can expect to see all manner of innovative products revealed at the show, from drones capable of carrying people to robots designed for domestic use. While some of these products may not make it to market, they are an important part of the tech industry's DNA.

Innovation and Risk-Taking: The Key to Success

CES has always been a show where innovation and risk-taking come together in exciting ways. Manufacturers use this event as an opportunity to showcase new products and technologies that might otherwise remain under wraps.

This year's event promises to be no exception, with a wide range of innovative products on display. While some may not make it to market, they are an important part of the tech industry's DNA. By embracing innovation and taking calculated risks, manufacturers can stay ahead of the curve and offer consumers the latest and greatest in consumer electronics.

In conclusion, CES 2017 promises to be a major event for the consumer electronics industry. With a wide range of innovative products on display, manufacturers will be showcasing their latest innovations and touting what's next in the world of tech. Whether you're looking to upgrade your TV or explore new possibilities with external batteries, there's something for everyone at this year's show.

crew is heading out to the Consumer Electronics Show to bring you the latest stuff from the world of CG and I want to tell you the things that I expect trends I expect to see and what you guys can look forward to from the show and then what kind of tech is gonna be huge in 2017 first it's gonna be all about cars ICS used to be about mobile than Apple kind of started doing their own press event and everybody else want do their own press event so now nothing new in the mobile world happens at CES but car manufactures have filled that void so we're gonna see a ton of v's a ton of self-driving prototypes and a ton of connected cars gonna see every major auto manufacturer should be there touting whatever is next we saw a few V's revealed last year we should see about four to five including the production car from Faraday futures I'm super excited to see previous year's a big trend has been wearables wearables seem to not be a trend at all so I don't think we're gonna see much in the way of wearable technology but we'll see a lot in the way of televisions and OLED TVs an HDR and 4k and 8k and 12 K in 16 K they're gonna continue to throw things at us we're gonna see thinner thinner thinner TVs that the bigger push towards HDR content we saw LG unveil an incredible glass on display TV from the Signature Series I think we should see this as a continuation of that Samsung's OLED panels are absolute saying we should just see better technology come out this year and most importantly more affordable Ola technology when I first debuted a few years ago it was crazy expensive even now to get the LG signature 75 inch let's $20,000 I'd expect the big announcements to be those prices cut in half also I would not expect every major manufacturers to jump in on old was a huge opportunity for other TV manufacturers if they continue to push new LCD technologies at that really lower and Jilla price point wouldn't you Vizio this next one is not like the sexiest trend but batteries and external batteries particular external batteries that have you Vesey and thunderbolt are going to be huge and on that vein I think accessories USBC and Thunderbolt three accessories are going to be a gigantic we haven't seen that many docs for thunderbolt three quite yet there's a reason for that everybody's whole done for CES so if you've been waiting to pick up a MacBook Pro or as a computer that uses the Thunderbolt 3 USB C combi port you are going to be in luck Prince ain't on of those coming out at CES and my favorite CES trend vaporware we're gonna see a ton of stuff announcements never ever gonna see the light of day last year we saw a drone that could carry people things like that are never gonna hit the market at least in the near future but it's fun to see what people think the future might be and that's a lot of what CES is about so the moral here it's gonna be cards can be connectivity autonomy it's going to be displays TVs and accessories for us and BC CES has lost a lot of the sex appeal I think that had yes all right as in sexy people in years past there's still a lot of sort of tech gems if we have to go looking something a little more than you've had to in years past but if you are looking for them you know it's TechnoBuffalo are gonna have you covered and with all that new technology coming maybe you want to get a new TV and on I'm due for a TV upgrade this year I'm finally gonna make the 4k jump and if you want to take your Discovery Channel content with you you can do it with the Discovery Go app and you should if you want to take a look at or give a download yourself link to it and pantsthen famously said the two things are certain in life death and taxes I wanted a third and that's C yes it is coming up like right after the
