Brian Tong's live tour of Central Hall at CES 2013

2013-01-07
hey guys what's going on brian song here back live from the CES show floor still one day before the official floor opens up and you know nothing says CEO set up like a bunch of boxes and maybe this little sprint hashtag sweepstakes I know we're pimping it but hey you guys all you have to do is follow at cnet on Twitter then send a tweet with that hashtag and it answers you in a contest to potentially win a samsung galaxy 2 tab to 10.1 inch because you know we're gonna take care of you now we are nowhere near Samsung's booth we're going to go there a little later today but we're here in front of Panasonic's booth we don't have access to this one specifically right now but we just wanted to show you as we know that Panasonic is a huge player when it comes down to televisions set-top boxes blu-ray players home theaters system so we're going to see a lot of that over here you kind of see again stuff covered up this is Panasonic's kind of new concept of their design philosophy with glass and metal my design philosophy is to make a TV with a thin bezel that looks sexy you don't just make it hot all right so Panasonic booth we're gonna be able to get in here and show you a lot of the new TVs and technology that they have going on later in the show we'll have a lot of first looks at that stuff but we wanted to give you just an idea of how big it is even in this far corner over here this is where Panasonic typically has like a stadium where they have all these different flat panel displays and TVs they do a lot of their presentations from there probably expecting to see a few things out there a couple years ago they had like the star wars blu ray that was announced as well as other big ones like the bond announcement was last year I'm banda on blu-ray so we might see some of those media content partnership deals with Panasonic show up here so what we're gonna do is we're gonna keep on walking around the central hall and show you guys a little bit a little more other stuff might not be the sexiest because you know we're in Sony's moved last time but this is kind of keep on walking through here and again throughout the course of all of our coverage right we have our live press conferences and we'd like to thank Lexus for that really long press conference but now I'm just playing all right so let's just come over here and this just kind of really the center of the central hall that we're going to be checking out here you may not say oh these aren't the biggest of players but right now this is the acoustic research RCA booth RCA those are a lot of those antennas over-the-air antennas a lot of people still have been a little resistant to be to go over the air with their television set right you can get these digital stations in full high-definition your local broadcast using those antennas so that's something that you know I don't I still see people catching on for especially for your cable cord cutters you should look into that all right now also here this is from acoustic research these look like you know thermoses or coolers these are their MVP portable wireless speaker systems a lot of people have jumped on to the whole Bluetooth portable wireless speaker bandwagon right we saw everything from like the jam box and other products so those guys you can like customize and skin wait actually Charlie let me show you this one you see the giants baby we're from San Francisco that's that's the one that I want or you know maybe we could put like my own lovely face on one of those coolers or whatever speaker systems all right let's keep on walking out this way down here my best friend's little soft carpet with that Kickstarter project that was called the pebble watch they're gonna finally make their announcement of the hopefully the debut of the pebble watch here we know it's supposed to it was supposed to come out in 2012 but the dude announcement here at CES but i think you know look out for the watch space there are also rumblings of an Apple watch who knows we'll see what happens there but that's another place where you know we're gonna start seeing technology move into ok so we can keep on going here Cassio's over this way but just to kind of get a big scope of everything here this is just again the center of the central hall you'll still kind of catch glimpses of people setting up the different booths in the displays it's a lot a lot a lot of colors in the open space right now I can't tell you right now though that it'll never be this clear or this wide open here at CES it never will I'm this you can't walk look at this it's like clear path alright let's come over here and check out sharps booth now we saw sharp make some announcements today so we know we're gonna walk in there and see what we can do or what will happen right cuz this is all live on the fly right so here at sharps booth we're going to set up around here sharp has really been continued to up their game in the flat panel and TV space so what we have here is we have like their 90 their 90 inch LED series they just recently announced those here is there are aqua series is there Syria eight series they're really showing long big large TV displays that are pretty much is this thing taller than me if I Tom bigger than me probably is what sharp is doing some other really cool stuff is well we're gonna kind of show you this is their setup and the display I like that they aren't trying to pack in too many things here again we're seeing a lot more open displays here at CES again more 90 inch LED TVs which are pretty pretty darn impressive just from the size and the scope of it here at sharps booth and i'm going to show you one thing we're gonna come over here everyone every company has like a concept TV that they really want to show to showcase what's coming down the road so come follow me I this is one TV that it's again it's a prototype and it's a concept but it's worth checking out so check this out over here and you can get in type this Charlie this is their 85 inch 8k TV now you guys have heard of 4k television that's obviously the big buzz here but what we have here is this is their own proprietary content on their own proprietary cameras that are capturing this footage I mean you might not be able to see this at home but you can catch every fine grain of detail the best way that I can describe this AK TV is it looks like digital pictures from a DSLR in mohnton motion so again it's only a concept we aren't expecting to see this anytime soon you've heard a 4k this is sharps 8k concept so you know guys we're going to keep on going throughout the show floor and show you more stuff again you know check out look out for our sprint hashtag sweepstakes will have more press conferences for you we're gonna wrap things up here go back to a break and you know we'll we'll see what else we can find for you okay see you guys
