It's Raining 4K TVs! CES 2013 Highlights


As was widely expected, TVs have dominated the CES 2013 and the overwhelming flavor of the event was 4K or Ultra HD TVs. Before the event, the ultra HD TV universe had just two titans – LG Ultra HD TV model named LG 84LM9600 and Sony 4K UD TV model called XBR 84X900. Now a whole range of 4K TVs have been introduced – almost every major TV manufacturer now has an Ultra HD TV model in its kitty.

Let us look at some of the Ultra HD TVs introduced during the CES 2013 –

LG Ultra HD TV – In addition to its 84 inch giant, has introduced additional Ultra HD TV models in 65 inch and 55 inch screen sizes.

Sony combined the two hottest buzzwords of TV technology – 4K and OLED – by introducing its 4K OLED TV with a screen size of 56 inches, thus claiming the largest OLED screen TV, though only for a few hours, till…

Panasonic also unveiled a 4K OLED TV with a 56 inch screen size. Indeed, Panasonic also unveiled a 20 inch 4K tablet!

Samsung succeeded in playing the one up game with its double salvo – an 85 inch ultra HD TV and a humongous 110 inch ultra HD TV version. The 85 inch UD TV of Samsung is expected to be priced way higher than the 20,000 dollars ballpark of LG Ultra HD TV. As far as the 110 inch model is concerned – there is absolutely no word regarding its features.

Toshiba is another TV maker that is already shipping 4K TVs to selected markets – and during the CES, it unveiled its extended line that includes screens sizes of 84, 65 and 58 inches.

Other notable mentions – Vizio, TCL, Hisense and Westinghouse.
