Samsung 77 inch QD-OLED (S95C)
We were impressed with Samsung’s first QD-OLED last year and again with the updated 2023 model here at CES 2023.
Now available in a larger 77-inch model. Samsung’s new QD-OLED supports a faster 144Hz refresh rate and higher maximum brightness, making HDR images even more immersive.
LG Signature OLED M3
The LG Signature OLED M3 is a stunning 4K OLED TV. No need to plug cables in the back to connect to all your gadgets, Blu-Ray players, etc. Instead, the device is connected to an external hub that can be placed up to 10 meters away from your TV.
The LG OLED M3 comes in three sizes: 97, 83 and 77 inches. There are plenty of game-ready features here too, including 120Hz refresh rates, Wi-Fi 6, and G-Sync/FreeSync.
Motorola ThinkPhone
The ThinkPhone may be the most fun business phone we’ve seen in a long time.
ThinkPhone is built to work well with the ThinkPad laptop series and features many classic ThinkPad design touches, including a new interpretation of the red keyboard knob. For example, the same charger can charge at full speed, and with the new Think 2 Think software feature, you can use your phone as a webcam.
It also has high-end phone features such as a durable design, high-capacity battery, and 120Hz OLED display.
TCL NxtPaper 12 Pro
TCL has been experimenting a lot lately and we’re very impressed with the NxtPaper 12 Pro Android tablet.
A unique feature here is the display designed to mimic paper. This makes drawing on the tablet feel much more natural than anywhere else, while the matte finish is easier on the eyes and less prone to glare in bright conditions.
lenovo smart paper
Smart notebooks are becoming a bit of a tech trend, with Lenovo’s smart papers being the latest competitor. Similar to the Amazon Kindle Scribe and Remarkable 2, this is an e-ink his tablet with weeks of battery life that lets you create and store notes.
The 10.3-inch monochrome display is responsive and sharp, and the textured glass feels like writing on paper. Lenovo’s package includes both the pen and folio case, so it’s ready to go.
lenovo yoga book 9i
The Lenovo Yoga Book 9i is a dual-screen laptop with two hinged 13-inch OLED screens. The laptop does not have a built-in keyboard, instead an external Bluetooth keyboard is bundled with the device, along with a stylus and multipurpose stand.
Such a unique form factor enables a variety of use cases, whether you want a dual monitor experience or use it like a traditional clamshell laptop. I think it’s a great alternative to foldable laptops that’s more affordable and has fewer software quirks.
Vive XR Elite
Vive has been in the VR space for a long time, but CES 2023 is the first time they’ve taken on Meta Quest with an all-in-one headset. It also features a special trick with a full-color RGB pass-through camera, allowing you to blend your VR creations with the real world.
The headset can run alone or connect to your PC for access to a more immersive experience. HTC has also confirmed that the headset will launch a face and eye tracker unit in late 2023, making it one of the most advanced VR headsets we’ve seen to date.
Asus ProArt StudioBook 16 3D OLED
We all thought 3D technology was dead and buried, but Asus has launched a new laptop with autostereoscopic 3D technology that doesn’t require 3D glasses to function. This means that on-screen objects appear to be projected from the display, making it easier for creators to see her 3D work from multiple angles.
This isn’t the first 3D laptop we’ve seen in recent months, but it’s the first to combine 3D with an OLED panel. This ensures that you get the highest image quality and extremely accurate colors that are essential for professional creators. Asus is also throwing in powerful components like the RTX 4070 GPU to ensure lightning-fast performance.
razor blade 18
The Razer Blade 18 is the company’s first laptop with an 18-inch display. Razer didn’t have to significantly increase the overall size of the laptop to fit this display, instead shaving off the bezels to accommodate the largest panels.
The massive laptop also benefits from cutting-edge components recently announced by Intel and Nvidia, ensuring it will be one of the most powerful laptops in 2023. Blade 18 with 4K resolution and OLED or Mini LED display.
Panasonic MZ2000
Panasonic makes some of the best OLED TVs and just announced the MZ2000 at CES 2023. Color accuracy is important here. Both the improved Filmmaker Mode and Hollywood Tuning add to the stunning HDR images this set can produce.
Another new addition is Microlens Array (MLA) technology that allows for brighter images, which has often been a problem in OLED sets in the past.
Razer Leviathan V2 Pro
On the surface, the Razer Leviathan V2 Pro may look like a standard soundbar/subwoofer double act, but it’s actually the world’s first beamforming soundbar with head-tracking AI. This means the soundbar can provide a similar experience to your sound setup, with 3D audio adding to the immersion. The technology comes from Audioscenic, which he previously demonstrated at CES.
The soundbar uses infrared sensors to detect your head position and then uses beamforming technology to send sound to your head in different directions. This means you can hear enemy footsteps coming from the same direction as when wearing a headset.
LG glam style
The LG Gram line has been dazzling fans with its lightweight laptop designs for years, but it can be criticized for being a little generic in appearance. That changes with the new LG Gram Style, as LG features a classy glass design, an iridescent finish, and a trackpad that can disappear from sight.
LG is also throwing in some additional exciting features like a 13th Gen Intel Core processor and an OLED screen. This is an exciting evolution for the LG series and we can’t wait to test this new model.
lenovo tab extreme
The Lenovo Tab Extreme could be the closest thing to an Android-powered iPad Pro this year.
Features include a 14.5-inch OLED display with razor-sharp resolution, Dolby Vision HDR, and a DisplayPort input for connecting external devices. There is a Magic Keyboard-inspired folio that raises the tablet to a suitable height for typing and stylus support.
Nvidia RTX 4070 Ti
The Nvidia RTX 4070 Ti is the latest graphics card in the company’s new RTX 4000 series and is even more powerful than the RTX 3090 Ti. This is thanks to the improvements made to the new Ada Lovelace architecture and the performance boost provided by the DLSS 3.0 software.
At $799, it is currently the cheapest graphics card in the RTX 4000 range, but we expect the price to change when the RTX 4060 inevitably launches in late 2023. But if you want to play games in his 4K with features like ray tracing and DLSS 3.0, this seems like an exciting option.
victrola stream carbon
The Victrola Stream Carbon is an expensive high-performance record player with wireless support, allowing users to stream records directly to Sonos speakers without the need for additional equipment.
This tight Sonos integration has many benefits, including volume control on the player itself and full support for the S2 app.
Sony PlayStation VR2
Sony PlayStation VR 2 is a VR headset for PS5. It features a high-definition OLED display, eye-tracking technology, and an ergonomic controller, making it a huge improvement over the original.
During the hands-on demo, I was very impressed with the headset. The launch game Horizon Call of the Mountain proved to be one of the most immersive VR experiences we’ve tested to date. His library of games looks to be getting better and better with Resident Evil Village, No Man’s Sky, Gran Turismo 7 and Beat Saber already confirmed.
Samsung ViewFinity S9
If you’ve got your eye on Apple’s Studio Display and want something with a few more ports, the ViewFinity S9 looks like a smart move.
Like Apple’s monitors, the S9 has a 5K resolution (still a rarity) and measures 27 inches. Color accuracy is important here. Samsung claims to support his 99% of the DCI-P3 color gamut, which is very important for creative professionals. It can be calibrated via the Smart Things app and a 4K webcam can be clipped on top.
Rotate the monitor and you’ll find plenty of I/O, including HDMI (which studio displays don’t have), USB-C, Thunderbolt 4, and DisplayPort.
