With a maturing supply chain for connected, low-power, inexpensive devices #CES2024 was the best in a long time. From screens to homes to health, innovations abound from around the world.
Thanks for the review ! I was also at CES but missed the WestGate area with EInk Sharp Display. Did you get a business card in order to know more and may be order ? Price, Size, how many refresh/days, ...
I think if the colors are vivid enought and price no so expensive it could be very interesting. I remember seeing an Indian startup doing eInk + Photovoltaic at CES2019
I'll be honest - my hot take was that the reports (I didn't go myself) coming our of CES were underwhelming - but I've been converted by the argument of the steady evolution. I loved the point you made using the Devil Wears Prada clip. I'll keep that in mind next time I think "it's just gadgets and stuff".
Supermarket digital shelf tags have been in use in Europe for many years (France, Italy etc.) although I don’t know if they’re exactly the same technology as the ones you mentioned.
Years ago I made the decision for HP not to have a showfloor presence at CES. It was highly controversial as many of my colleagues insisted that they “needed” to go to CES! It was the right decision given the expense and time drain.
I'm so glad to see your CES report every year because i stopped going to CES 10 or so years ago. The giant halls and dizzying number of displays of the same-ish thing just give me a brutal headache.
The hype around AI has definitely been insane. I don't remember anything being quite so hyped since blockchain. The big thing that I think everyone should keep in mind is that none of these "AI" companies have shown any profit yet, and they burn tons of cash on purchasing and running GPUs.
I enjoyed reading your coverage of the event, and I always get a bit excited for new technologies. I'd personally love to have a few eInk screens to play with on my SBCs. I really just need one that has a high refresh rate and relatively low price... I will keep waiting.
Linus Sebastian of Linus Tech Tips "smuggled" the available-in-China-but-not-North-America 115" TCL TV into British Columbia, which he said was AMAZING (5,000 nits peak brightness, all the HDR standards which TCL has gone for, and Roku built in which I love for its ease of use and ability to add services it doesn't already have). (For the record, I have last year's 65" TCL in my apartment, and it's amazing even if it's limited to a TCL "Dolby Atmos" soundbar!) He loved it so much he kept it for his home theater—I suspect the slightly smaller (105") but potentially better 10,000 niyd Hisense (which WILL be coming to the US this Fall, allegedly) will get bought as well, and installed in LTT Studio's Rec Room:

Great round up. Thanks for doing this.

FYI antennaweb.com should be antennaweb.org

I remember hearing from Robert Silva that some movie theaters are using direct-view LEDs in place for projectors, which boggles the mind.
