hey there i'm gary sims and this is andrew authority Here I am at CES 2019 and I wanted to give you a brief overview of what I've seen in terms of televisions here at the world's largest consumer show so if you want to find out more please let me explain there are several different keywords that have popped up here at CES 2019 the first of those is 8k and the upcoming Olympics we're going to have broadcasting in 8k and here I've seen several different manufacturers producing 8k televisions or they're showing prototypes of 8k televisions and if you were following me on Instagram you would have seen that actually I had a quick picture there of Samsung's 8k television which you can buy for just fifteen thousand dollars now obviously in years to come the price is going to come down just like it did with 4k just like anything with HD but we really are now on the edge of 8k and 8k is here by all of the major manufacturers and the other big key word of course is AI everyone seems to be building either Google assistant or Alexa into their televisions the idea being it becomes the home hub you can talk to the television you can take to play movies you can take the play things like on Netflix you can connect to control the lights and it's all built into your television and it can actually enhance the smart home experience because often the television is in the center of a house maybe in the lounge and of course it's there ready to receive all of your commands of course AI isn't only limited to voice assistance they're also using AI in both sound processing and audio processing to give you the best picture for example you can use tone mapping I saw that on one of the televisions by LG that takes in to account the ambient light in the room that you're in and then changes the picture so that you can see the details in areas that maybe would seem too dark in the ambient light that you are watching the the program or the film and then a couple other things to mention are refresh rates lots lots of changes around refresh rate particularly when it comes to laptops and gaming so in those curved displays people are wanting to bump up the refresh rate so that you can get better gaming experiences and that also folds in to HDMI 2.1 which gives that extra level of control between the displaying device and the display so they can negotiate the best refresh rate for the experience that you are having and for me the most interesting thing that I saw was LG's transparent OLED display so here is a short video I did it on my phone so the quality's not that good but as you can see here the actual display can be made transparent and that chip that you're seeing that picture of the tribulation behind the display and when it can show a picture and then it can go transparent to think about the future where we can actually have TVs in our windows we can display either films or programs but also just nature scenes and then you can change it and make the display go transparent so you can see outside there are also other applications heads-up displays cars when we've got all self-driving cars then actually have the windows act also as displays but also have them transparent there's so many different possibilities that was a prototype they were showing there and I thought that was really interesting and of course while we're talking about LG one of the big things here of course has been their rollable TV that can roll right back down into a small box at the bottom and then you can kind of press a button and bring it back up and there you have a rollable TV in your lounge very very cool stuff okay my name is Gary Sims this is Andrew authority I really hope you enjoyed this video please subscribe please like and well that's it I'll see the next one
