Televisions

Samsung Super Oled

Samsung showcased its new upcoming flagship TV - a 55-inch, super OLED 3D TV. It has a super-thin 4mm bezel and is amazingly just 7.6mm thick. While OLED provides for superb colors and sharpness, it is also a Smart TV & now comes with a 1.5Ghz dual core processor inside - providing better performance for apps.

Panasonic 4K Panels

Panasonic showcased a range of 3D LCD & plasma TVs with Wi-Fi & 4K (ultra HD, 4096 x 2160 pixels) TVs but the highlight was the 4K, 20.4-inch LCD IPS-Pro panel monitor that packs a huge 8 million pixels into a 3.5mm thin frame.

LG Oled TVs

Not only did LG show off their own 55-inch OLED TV (above), they also gave CES visitors a sneak peek at their upcoming Google TV, 4k ultra high definition TV, the first Wi-Di certified TV and glasses free 3D TV in sizes from 55-inch and above. Their Magic Motion remote control has been upgraded to support gestures.

Sony Crystal LED TV

While the competition is looking towards OLED as the future, Sony has discontinued it. Instead they announced 'Crystal LED' display technology. Sony claims that the new tech offers three times the contrast, 10 times faster performance and overall better color accuracy as compared to regular LED TVs.

Cameras

Canon GX1

Canon's newest pro-class compact (part of the popular G-series) is the G1 X. The camera features a large 14MP CMOS sensor, Digic 5 processor and the HS (high sensitivity) system. It may offer only a 4X optical zoom but it makes up with full manual control, RAW shooting & a stainless steel chassis.

Fujifilm X-PRO1

Fuji's mirrorless X-Pro1 offers delectable retro style and uses a magnesium alloy chassis. The shutter speed and exposure control dial are milled from solid metal and it has a 16MP DSLRsize CMOS sensor. Fuji also launched 18mm, 35mm and 60mm lenses for the camera.

Samsung's new camera range features built in Wi-Fi for remote upload of photos/videos and remote control. Many different options with different zoom lenses and resolution are available. The DualView DV300F (pictured) has a 16MP sensor, 5x optical zoom & 1.5-inch front LCD - good for self-portraits.
 
Smartphones

Nokia Lumia 900

Nokia has taken the wraps off its 4G-ready Windows Phone device with a 4.3-inch amoled touch screen. Most features (hardware, single piece polycarbonate construction, storage, OS, rear camera and even the button placement) are the same as the Lumia 800. The 900 however, adds a front camera and gets a bigger 1,800mAh battery.

Huawei Ascend P1 S

Lenovo Ideapad Yoga

Lenovo's business-class Ultrabook (the Think-Pad T430u, with dedicated graphics and 1TB storage) is impressive, but they've also pushed the bar higher with the Yoga. It's a Windows 8 Ultrabook/tablet hybrid with a 13.3-inch touchscreen. It bends a complete 360 degrees to form a tablet and includes GPS, a gyroscope and accelerometer.

HP Envy 14 Spectre
