CES 2010 HDTV Report
January 12th, 2010 by Rachel PlutCES 2010 was all about 3D – Sony, Panasonic, Samsung, LG, Mitsubishi and anyone else that makes or sells any kind of video display. All were pretty impressive. Panasonic’s 154 inch Plasma was a sight to behold, but in 3D it was spectacular. The 3D that manufacturers are coming out with isn’t that cheesy hand reaching out at you from the screen, but the kind that adds depth to your regular viewing. Like looking out the window or standing on the sidelines watching your favorite football team.
Panasonic’s booth was long and filled with 3D. They also announced that they have partnered with Skype and Directv. Skype will allow users Panasonic to Panasonic and Computer to Panasonic internet based communication with video. Directv will have a dedicated HD 3D channel. Panasonic and Directv have also partnered with the winter Olympics to broadcast them in HD 3D on that channel.
Samsung’s booth was awe inspiring. It had video monitor flowers twenty plus feet tall reaching up to its mirrored ceiling that covered the whole booth. Samsung chose to show, what looked to be everything that they make. From HDTVs to HTIBs, from cell phones to copies and printers it was all there.
Sony’s booth, not to be out done, had hard wood floors throughout. They, too, showed just about everything that they make. Their Playstation display was enormous, 8 plus full racecar cockpits for playing the latest Grand Theft Auto installment.
LG had a very classy booth. All white carpet, walls and DJ. They had an impressive display of OLED TVs.
Mitsubishi had some of the largest 3D TVs to show in their Mitsubishi truck. They were also touting that their TVs have been ready for 3D for 2 years.
All of the 3D displays looked great. Having 3D gave the picture so much depth and life, it was like being part of the action.
