Coolest Stuff Day 3 at CES 2008

Topic: CES News Coverage

It has been a busy few days here at CES. Today the coolest things I saw were the huge 150-inch plasma TV at the Panasonic booth and the Samsung OLED TVs. The TV is gynormous and has a very nice picture as well. Panasonic wasn’t releasing pricing or availability info on the huge screen. The closest I could get was a statement from the PR gal showing me around that the 103-inch plasma was selling for around $75,000. I wouldn’t be surprised to see the set come in at around the $100,000 area.

Samsung has the most impressive booth at the show with its fantastic looking 31-inch OLED TV. Not only is the set very thin, but the image quality is exceptional. This set has the deepest blacks I have ever seen and reds were better than I have seen as well. Samsung also had a small OLED TV that appeared to be around 11-inches on display as well. Read more
