A tour of Sony, Pasasonic and LG’s booths at the CES 2010
This year’s CES at Las Vegas is all about 3D this and 3D that. Once I stepped in and took in the scene – floating heads, flashing cameras, gleaming gadgets, lush carpets, and droning voices, I was struck by the term ’3D’ popping out from several booths. What with Jame’s Cameron’s Avatar spell-binding us with the ravishing blue world of Pandora and electronics giants like Sony capitalizing on the 3D wave, it’s no wonder the CES 2010 has 3D written all over it. We already had a look at what Toshiba and Samsung had to offer. And now it’s time to take a peek into the booths of Sony, Pasasonic and LG.
Quick to capture your attention in Sony’s booth is its BRAVIA 3D LCD TVs. Looking elegant in all it’s deep black glossiness, Sony BRAVIA XBR-52HX900 3D set is worth being goggled at. The 52” TV has an LCD display with a full HD resolution. Sony’s Motionflow 240Hz engine is present – so we can expect seamless action and detailed and natural rendition of colours. Intelligent Image Enhancer is featured and the TV has internet video capabilities as well. Ofcourse, the glasses can’t be far behind – Sony will supply them as well with these sets.
Being a sponsor of Avatar, Panasonic’s booth appeared blue-tinged with their TV’s playing clips from the movie. Apart from a full HD 3D theater, Panasonic showcased Full HD 3D Camcorders, 3D authoring systems and 3-D Blu-ray players ( the DMP-BD350 ) along with a wide range of their new Viera TVs. They also have an interesting Eco Corner that exhibits quite a lot of environmentally-friendly consumer electronics solutions.
LG seemed to be playing a different tune this year, with not much of the 3D mania. They do have a few 3D TVs lined up, but it’s the LCDs and plasmas that they project with variety. The Infinia LCD TV series is what they have to offer the LCD TV world, with models comprising of LE7500, LE8500, and LE9500 series. All of them feature full LED backlight systems, while the LE7500 series alone are edge lit. The LG LE8500 and LE9500 series sport ‘Magic Wand’ remote controls that offer several interesting functionalities.
Before we end, here’s more tidings from Samsung’s booth. Samsung have found an ingenious way to combine OLED panels with RFID technology. We’re talking about a photo card that’s made of a wafer-thin OLED screen. Once it’s scanned over the surface of an RFID reader, the image of the person can actually rotate this way and that, giving you a 3D view. These OLED photo cards will supposedly assist in identification purposes; but whatever be it, the concept is awesome.
