Yale Real Living @ CES 2013

I’m pretty happy with my Kwikset locks, but there is one annoyance – the bolt isn’t tapered. Now I know that’s pretty annoying, but whoever built the house didn’t do a great job installing the insulation around the door or filing out the bolt holes in the frame so sometimes operation isn’t as smooth as I’d like. Yale’s locks solve […]

NETGEAR @ CES 2013

After attending NETGEAR’s press conference there wasn’t anything that new or surprising to see when I stopped by their suite last week, but it was great to get a more detailed look at what they were bringing out this year. I did get a chance to take a closer look at their upcoming Google TV box, and the slick little […]

Sony @ CES 2013

Sony had many products on display at their booth, but each time I stopped by to take a look I got lost in the beautiful 4K displays. Which was OK in my book for two reasons: 4K is gorgeous, anyone who doesn’t get it is blind or wants to have a small TV and second Sony’s booth was all about […]

Panasonic @ CES 2013

There was only one display in a pitch black room at CES. That it was lined up against a VT50, arguably 2012’s best TV, and making it look [literally] washed out in comparison speaks volumes about the beautiful beast of a plasma Panasonic is bringing out later this year. If I had to pick one thing that most impressed, and […]

HDBaseT @ CES 2013

I love the concept of HDBaseT. Run some Cat5e/6, add a switch and some devices that support HDBaseT (or adapters if using “legacy” devices) into the mix and you get a whole home media distribution network capable of pushing 100MB, 100W of power, audio/video, and control anywhere. With the right devices, you can do everything with just one cable. There […]

LG @ CES 2013

If you follow displays, you already know that there were myriad UHD and OLED TVs at CES 2013. LG had both, but they had one over on all the other OEMs because they are the only ones that can claim to be shipping 1080p OLED displays. Now they haven’t made there way over here yet (should be in March sometime), […]

Samsung @ CES 2013

I was completely underwhelmed with OLED TVs last year. They consistently suffered from slow pixel response and color bleed, but this year was completely different. There were OLED displays of many sizes, shapes and resolutions at many vendors booths with Samsung boasting some beautiful 4K UHD. Full breakdown after the click. OLED A lot can happen in a year, and […]

Hisense @ CES 2013

I really wanted to like Hisense when the opportunity to swing by the booth arose. After all, what’s not to like about the promise of huge, cheap TV that very closely mirror Samsung’s outstanding industrial design. Unfortunately, I struggled to find a better case of the “get what you pay for” rule, with some of the lowest quality displays I […]

Intel @ CES 2013

If it weren’t for the decidely future technology of Intel’s Multiscreen demo, it would definitly be on my shortlist for the most interesting things at CES 2013 because there is something very cool about serving TV content to any device in the house. Click through for a walk through of what we saw from Intel during CES 2013. Multiscreen Powered […]
