Just wondering, how long does Sony CES press conference last?

Shit I might get that Asus Zoom phone. It's like a 1020 on android. Wowza!

Its not the issue that it used to be. Android solves a lot of these problems with its "recompilation" of apps with the new VM ART. Most game engines like Unity and UE already have the bits necessary to handle x86 based embedding to make this a non-issue. So while there are some issues when the x86 will still have to flip to binary translation, that is becoming less and less of an issue (i.e. its almost not an issue today).

I think any non-gaming conference in neogaf is boring
Well, it's a CES stream. I remember one of the more exciting streams being a Sharp presser where they didn't iron the backdrop. It had a lot of people talking.

What about the input lag?
Engadget is usually pretty good.
Kind of scared it will break being that thin.
2015 Sony TV releases

Skimmed through a few models and it looks like all but the 75" 940 be edge lit. Every one I looked at still only supports 4K60 at 8 bit 4:2:0.

Will it bend more or less than the iPhone 6+?

No affordable FALD set from them then as I'm sure the 75" will be exorbitantly priced, just like the X950B. Shame they're sacrificing PQ improvements for a thinner profile.

It's not a new concept at all. They were around in 1980s Japan.
Tell me when they've verified support for Rec.2020 to the extent of QD ;-)
LG TVs play mkv files natively right? Samsung does and that's really the only reason why I'd lean towards their TVs.

When do last years models of TVs usually drop in price? The Sony TVs don't look too much of an upgrade.
Well, Sony has been an established brand in cars since at least 2007 and I don't mean after market speakers/decks. Ford for example, has been putting Sony stereos/speakers in their mid to high end cars/trucks.
What do you mean? Did you not see samsung's supposed q-dot tech that was done years ago by Sony? Or listen when they said their new TVs will get even brighter so they stand out more in stores?
Seriously, I can not imagine their TVs getting even brighter. Staring at an eclipse, or welding without a mask or glasses will be safer.

i thought contrast was the most important aspect of picture. why is wider color gamut now more important?
To each his own, for now i wouldn't touch an OLED panel with a ten feet pole and i'm actually happy that every manufacturer hasn't gone on the full OLED craze like it was hinted before CES started.

Surprised by the lack of announcement of the Xperia Z4 by Sony... i held the Z3 for the first time a couple of days ago and found it absolutely stunning.
And what about that UX Life projector thingy they announced last year? i would like to see a more refined (and/or cheaper) version of it...
New lighter and smaller 4K Handycam was cool but the rest was kinda meh...
Because OLED isn't worth investing in... yet. LCD has come a long way. Speaking of LG's OLED, I saw one at Best Buy and I was not impressed. The image was jagged as hell. Not sure if the thing was calibrated correctly or not, but it looked like a joke compared to Sony/Samsung's better LCD screens. The only thing that stood out was the blacks.

so you think the jagged image was due to the tv and not the content/playback?
I would blame the lower screen resolution, and of course if you are in a store viewing TVs closer than you normally would a 1080p image is going to look rough compared to 4K.
The content was coming right out of an LG blu-ray player with LG demo. Maybe they dropped the ball on their demonstration video.
lol ... HDR isn't about just making things 'even brighter' or so they 'stand out more in stores'
Might want to look up info from last year's CES and how Dolby Vision was received.
I don't know wtf they do to the 9300's at Best Buy, but you're right ... they literally look terrible.
55" OLED has a USB thumb drive demo. Sometimes it corrupts and looks shitty.
All I read in the hands ons were that those new sets are disgustingly bright, nothing mentioned of HDR and the sorts. Considering it was "bright" and "samsung" in the same paragraph, I naturally assumed it was that they implemented a new mode to boost their brightness to new levels.
As far as the demos at Best Buys for that 9300, that content is complete trash on them. I swapped in a flash drive quick and noticed an immediate difference due to the content.
Can't wait to see the new TVs though. For me personally it was:
1. LG 9300
2. Sony X900/950B
3. Samsung 8550
I see. I assumed it was from one of their home theater systems since there was an LG sub sitting below the TV at the demo station. Odd choice.
