Greetings from Las Vegas, where your Dudeness of DV is suffering greatly to see the newest products and find undiscovered gems. It is the annual CES show, which now incorporates the photo-centric PMA show. This is the Dude's first CES, and is simply dumbstruck that a show could be bigger and busier than NAB. Look at the photo above of the Sony booth. All the big booths (Samsung, LG, Panasonic, Canon, etc) were like this.
One of the more impressive spectacles was the LG booth, where they had a huge 3D video wall.
Think your 36" TV is impressive? Not compared to this 80" LCD from Sharp. Yep - 80 inches. Why? Because they can. And yes, this is the largest LCD TV on the market today. Panasonic does have a 103" Plasma though.
By far the funkiest booth was for the new line of Bob Marley audio products (headphones, speakers). With a live DJ playing Marley tunes, backed up by a drummer, this was THE booth to hang out in for a while.
Biggest print seen at the show? This 24 foot panaromic shot of the Hong Kong harbour.
More to come, including some cool new products, and concept cars!
