Any AV NIRVANA members or staff attending CES this year?

This year I was selected to be a speaker on the panel discussion, The Road Ahead for 8K HDR.

Arrived in Las Vegas! I've been invited to all of the TV manufacturers press conferences and they start this afternoon with Skyworth. Stand by for my take on all of the new TVs for the 2020 model year.

Just got back from Skyworth's Press Conference. Skyworth is one of the Chinese TV manufacturers that are making a showing at CES 2020 and announcing their USA TV launch. Skyworth is the largest domestic TV manufacturers in mainland China.

Tonight they showed 3 new TV series for their 2020 USA TV lines. Two OLED series, the W81 and W81 PRO, which will be available in 65" and 77" class and one LCD/LED 75" 8K TV with a IPS backlit panel, named the Q91. All three of Skyworth's TV series support Dolby Vision HDR and the Q91 LCD/LED and W81 PRO OLED also have built-in Dolby Atmos 2.1.2 audio.

The Q91 is a 75" 8K HDR TV with 576 local dimming zones and sports a built-in Dolby Atmos 2.1.2 audio system and will retail for $5,999. The remote control was a cool looking large tablet that has some very nice new features to control the TV. The TV has a built-in camera for video conferencing and other interactive activities, like interactive dance, and exercise.

The two 4K OLED TV series, W81 at $3,599 and W81PRO at $4,599 are what Skyworth calls the "Wallpaper TV" and it's much like LG's Wallpaper OLED TVs, with one notable exception. Surface mounted on the bottom of the OLED panel that houses the power supply, speakers and a camera. The W81PRO series adds the external Dolby Atmos sound bar and a second screen that display information, like the temperature, the time, news and other information. The W81 PRO's external 2nd screen/sound bar is attached to the TV via a thin fiber optical cable.

Both OLED panels are 4.6mm thick.

All three series are scheduled to begin availability by the end of June in the USA. I have a lot more information, but want to vet the information and also get more technical background before speaking about a few of the additional information that was released. Here's some pics I took that will also describe some of Skyworth's press conference announcements and I can answer questions so fire away.

Here's the video of my CES session, The Road Ahead for 8K UHD. Best played back on a TV so you can raise the volume.

I am very impressed that you were able to attend over the past 20 years. Must be nice to see all the latest and greatest all at one spot so to speak..

I am sure as technology goes, you get to see some very interesting things there...

Yes, .. indeed!
I remember a few years back when the 7" OLED prototype screen was on display and now we are looking at 75" OLED screen and bigger …

Yeah, technology has advanced over the years and hopefully better and better things will come out and prices go down. :)
