Samsung to unveil 85-inch Ultra HD TV at CES 2013
Surbhi Chawla, November 14, 2012

http://gadgets.ndtv.com/tv/news/samsung-to-unveil-85-inch-ultra-hd-tv-at-ces-2013-292410

Will it be 4k or 8k? Sorry, didn't read the article.

If I am not mistaken Ultra HD would be the marketing name for 4K so that consumers would know that better it is about a TVs resolution 4K gives a wrong impression on regular consumers who are not keen on the definition.

Review from the CES 2013 floor:

Panasonic TX-P60ZT60
By John Archer
9 Jan 2013 11:08

... In particular, its black level response was almost unbelievably good. What we'd previously admired as class-leading blacks on the the VT50 were left looking green and grey by the truly immaculate blacks delivered by the P60ZT60. Seriously, the impact of the demo was akin to the gasps of amazement that met Pioneer's final KURO demo before that company withdrew from the TV market.

To me, the 4K OLED is the most impressive CES 2013 item.

The press is making it sound like there's fierce OLED competition between Panny and Sony, each presenting a "Worlds Largest" 56" 4K OLED for this year's trade show.

Actually, Panny and Sony have an OLED manufacturing partnership.

Dolby Bets on Brightness to Transform TV
1:53 pm
Dec 10, 2013

... “On brightness, we are off by a factor of 200,” said Pat Griffis, executive director of technology strategy, during a briefing with reporters last week.

Of course, staring at the equivalent of a 100-watt bulb would be intolerable. But real TV images mix dark and light, limiting the risks of harsh glare, Rockwell wrote. The key is to have sharp contrast with bright and dark points of an image.

“If you just raise the brightness of a TV display without increasing the contrast, you end up with dull, washed-out images,” Rockwell said. “When you raise both, something magical happens: images on the TV start to look like the real world.”

For those unaware, VP9 is Google’s answer to the expensive commercial codecs out there, and a direct competitor to H.265. It’s royalty-free, and as Google hopes to prove, very efficient.

CES 2014 Is Turning Into A Funeral For 3D
For some technologies, the Consumer Electronics show is like a hospital.
The place you’re born, and the place you’ll die.
John Herrman
BuzzFeed Staff
posted on January 6, 2014 at 4:19pm EST

... CES 2010 was all about 3D TV, as was CES 2011. The next year, the industry’s hangover was setting in — by CES 2013, 3D had become fully commodified. It was included in TVs and simply listed as a feature. It was there because it had no reason not to be, not because anyone was asking for it.

In 2014, however, manufacturers are beginning to wonder if 3D is even worth an afterthought.

Malabo na ang support sa Smart Evolution. Looks like Samsung will let it quietly die.

As for plasma, Samsung assured CNET editor David Katzmaier that they will be producing a 2014 line of plasmas:

Samsung: We'll have new plasmas, just not at CES 2014
Among the two remaining TV makers that produce plasma TVs,
LG and Samsung, only LG is announcing any plasmas at CES 2014.
by David Katzmaier | January 6, 2014 2:00 PM PST
http://ces.cnet.com/8301-35303_1-57616627/samsung-well-have-new-plasmas-just-not-at-ces-2014/

Analyzing the CNET article, it looks like Samsung will also be exiting plasma sometime soon.

First, notice that there are no plans to improve their plasma line; in fact, model features are going to be on a downgrade direction.

Second, their 2014 plasmas are scheduled for a mid-year release, a sign of an impending phase-out, the same way they quietly phased out their rear projection TVs.

========================================

LG will have 5 plasmas for 2014:

- 2013's PN4500 (42" & 50" 720p, no 3D, no SMART);
- Flagship PN6900 (60" 1080p 3D, no SMART);
- PB6600 (60" & 50" 1080p, no 3D, no SMART);
- PB5600 (60" 1080p, no 3D, no SMART); and
- PB560 (50" 720p, no 3D, no SMART).
