TVs always steal the spotlight at CES, and this year, manufacturers have dazzled viewers with groundbreaking technologies and previously unseen price tags.
1. TV Tech Showcase at CES 2020: From Gigantic Screens to Transforming and Ultra-Expensive TVs
TVs always dominate at CES, and this year, companies have left audiences wide-eyed with both the technologies and the price tags.
Massive TVs
Last year, Samsung impressed everyone with the QLED 8K 98-inch TV, partly for its modern tech and partly for its enormous size. But this year, Samsung has taken it a step further by bringing gigantic TVs to CES, both literally and figuratively. The MicroLED TV boasts a massive 292-inch size, with the 8K model reaching 150 inches. That's why this TV line is named 'The Wall'.
It's no wonder Samsung calls this TV The Wall.
Transforming TVs
Last year, LG made waves at CES 2019 with its rollable OLED TV. This year, LG is causing a sensation at CES 2020 with its TV that rolls up when in use and completely hides when not in use, or leaves 1/4 of the screen to display basic information like weather, clock, photos... just like a smartphone's lock screen.
LG's rollable TV takes technology a step further.
Alongside the giant TVs, Samsung is also making headlines with its flip-and-rotate TVs. With this TV line, Samsung aims to meet both conventional TV viewing needs in landscape mode and the desire for using the TV as a giant smartphone when rotated vertically. With this TV line, users will have an unparalleled experience browsing Facebook, Instagram, or TikTok on TV.
Samsung's Sero also catches attention with its vertical rotation capability.
Ultra-Luxury TVs for the Super Rich
TV 'The Wall' is the epitome of 'Luxury' TVs
In addition to the fascination with technology, the TV booths at CES this year have caused a stir due to the exorbitant prices of their unique products. Samsung's 'The Wall' TV line was immediately identified as the 'Luxury' product for the super-rich when there were reports suggesting that the highest-end models could start from $400,000 USD. As for LG's rollable TV, the price is rumored to reach $60,000 USD for a 65-inch TV. Even Samsung's Sero, the vertically rotating TV, comes with a price tag of $1,600 USD, much higher than a standard 43-inch TV. With price barriers in place, the most prominent TV models at CES 2020 are certainly not products for the masses, at least not in the short term. However, this means that accessing advanced 8K TVs with modern technology will undoubtedly be easier for most users in the next few years.
$60,000 USD for LG's 65-inch Rollable TV
The distance from CES to the market is sometimes very close, but other times, it's quite far. However, with the race kicking off for the next decade, no tech giant wants customers to wait too long.
