The days of the big TV/AV-focused Panasonic CES press conference are long gone but the company still managed to highlight a couple of audio products at yesterday’s pre-show event: a new ’90s-style minisystem and the latest version of its SoundSlayer gaming speaker.
Make no mistake about it: TCL is going for the gold at CES 2024. The Chinese brand, which is making remarkable gains in the global TV market, today announced a head-turning 115-inch quantum dot (QD) mini-LED 4K TV featuring an impressive peak brightness rating of 5,000 nits.
Samsung today offered a preview of a 2024 TV lineup includes more “ultra-large” screen sizes than ever before and puts artificial intelligence (AI) front and center, not only for enhancing picture quality but to bolster connectivity with a range of compatible devices.

CEDIA Expo 2023 offered an opportunity to peruse a plethora of audio and AV products aimed at the CI (custom install) market. Much of what's on display is excruciatingly expensive and targeted at wealthy consumers. Case in point, one of the most popular demos involved a home theater system with a million dollars worth of gear in it. At that price point, a $12,000 video player and $16,000 video processor seem like almost trivial expenses.
