<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt;">Sharp's lower end line of huge LED TVs promises lots of value like that
from this mammoth 70 inch 2013 version that offers active 3D, Smart TV features
with dual core processing, and a 120Hz panel.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt;">You dont lose a lot feature-wise
between this and the F8000 and the bezel frame is a beautiful .2" silver
matte finish affair that just looks great. It does not have the front facing
camera but does have the clear coat screen picture quality of the F8000 with
240Hz panle and micro-dimming.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Android Apps enthusiasts, you get the Google Android suite options with this TV
and a cool QWERTY remote on one side and Magic Remote on the other, complete
with mic for voice recognition search. Picture quality is excellent as well

SONY XBR-65X900A or KDL-55900A

<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt;">OK, so it's not a normal LED TV
(1080p that is). But it does have LED edge-lit backlighting so in essence it is
what we call an LED which is to say properly LED backlit LCD TV. This TV has
great Triluminous color and detail, and that so realistic nearly 4000p
resolution to bring you life-like as you have never seen it before. It also has
excellent looking 3D from the passive 3D glasses. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

Motionflow XR 960, and the Screen mirroring connectivity feature (for NFC
smartphones) are all reasons this model belongs at the top. The picture quality
is outstanding. Sony has employed some very nice technologies.</span></div>

top end 8000 series LED TVs for 2013. The picture quality in the UN60F8000 is
excellent due to the clear coat screen, super LED edge lighting yielding
incredible peak whites,</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt;">and surprisingly very decent black levels. Side angle viewing
quality is also much better than most LED-backlit TVs on the market. Lastly,
colors are not over saturated,</span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 19.5pt;"> but do pop and are easy to calibrate to D6500K. </span></div>

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif"; font-size: 15.0pt;">1. Bill Clinton for Samsung<o:p></o:p></span></h3>
<div style="background: white; line-height: 15.0pt; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.5pt;">As
usual, Samsung's CES showing was impressive, but all the stops were truly
pulled out when Former President Bill Clinton took the stage.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background: white; line-height: 15.0pt; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 7.5pt;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.5pt;">After
a talk about semiconductors, the Korean tech giant really electrified the crowd
by letting Clinton take the stage for a 20-minute closer. A talk from Bill
doesn't come cheap either, with the former commander in chief's speaking fee
being reported to be as high as $500,000 for a single appearance. One of
Samsung's 4K televisions seem affordable by comparison.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div style="background: white; line-height: 15.0pt; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 7.5pt;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.5pt;">Clinton
didn't waste any time, breaking the ice with cracks about his run in the Oval
Office, a time when "cell phones weighed five pounds..." and
"there [were] a grand total of 50 websites on the internet."<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background: white; line-height: 15.0pt; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 7.5pt;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.5pt;">Clinton
steadily moved into serious statesmen mode, lecturing the crowd about the
benefits of technology to the developing world. Banking by cell phone in Haiti,
social media and the Arab spring and bracing for global warming. Finally,
Clinton was met with applause when he mentioned American gun violence problem,
and his support of the assault weapons ban.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background: white; line-height: 15.0pt; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 7.5pt;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.5pt;">By
hiring Clinton for its keynote, Samsung brought a human element to its
presentation. The former president engaged the crowd like a true raconteur, and
gave us something to think about besides the latest spec sheet.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<h3 style="background: white; margin-bottom: 7.5pt; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 15.0pt; mso-line-height-alt: 12.0pt;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif"; font-size: 15.0pt;">2. Qualcomm's 'Born Mobile'
press conference<o:p></o:p></span></h3>
<div style="background: white; line-height: 15.0pt; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.5pt;">Very
often it's not the products and services that steal the stage but the people
(and puppets) who occupy it.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background: white; line-height: 15.0pt; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 7.5pt;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.5pt;">Qualcomm's
opening press conference was no exception to this rule – the chipmaker took CES
by storm with a quirky, whacked out performance that felt more like a
drug-induced dream than a presentation by a major corporation.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background: white; line-height: 15.0pt; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 7.5pt;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.5pt;">Not
only did Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer bound onstage to croak about Qualcomm and
Microsoft's partnerships,<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><em>Sesame Street's</em><span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>Big Bird was there to demo a
Qualcomm-powered app. Or he may have been there to help get the taste of
Ballmer out of everyone's mouth, we're not sure.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background: white; line-height: 15.0pt; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 7.5pt;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.5pt;">OK,
Qualcomm did<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><a href="http://www.techradar.com/news/phone-and-communications/mobile-phones/qualcomm-snapdragon-800-and-600-give-clues-on-smartphones-to-come-1123504"><b><span style="color: #0099cc;">announce</span></b></a><span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>new
high-end mobile-friendly chipsets, including the Snapdragon 800.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background: white; line-height: 15.0pt; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 7.5pt;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.5pt;">Snapdragon
800 is said to deliver 75 per cent better battery performance than its S4 Pro
line while also supporting Ultra HD 4K video on phones and computers.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background: white; line-height: 15.0pt; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 7.5pt;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.5pt;">Improved
motion-less photography, global 4G/LTE (with certain add-ons) multi-channel HD
audio and support for higher-res displays are also part of the 800 offering.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background: white; line-height: 15.0pt; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 7.5pt;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.5pt;">Snapdragon
600, said to save 40 per cent the battery life of the S4 and aimed at
mid-to-high-end mobile devices, was also unveiled during Qualcomm's performance…er….press
conference.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background: white; line-height: 15.0pt; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 7.5pt;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.5pt;">When
the chips come to fruition, there's an excellent chance we'll see a big bump in
what our phones and computers are capable of as well as Smart TVs, tablets, and
digital media adapters.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background: white; line-height: 15.0pt; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 7.5pt;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.5pt;">However,
it's hard to pay attention to chip specs when you have Desmond Tutu, Maroon 5
and an electric Rolls Royce coming at you from every direction.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<h3 style="background: white; margin-bottom: 7.5pt; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 15.0pt; mso-line-height-alt: 12.0pt;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif"; font-size: 15.0pt;">3. Danny DeVito talks tech<o:p></o:p></span></h3>
<div style="background: white; line-height: 15.0pt; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.5pt;">We
found ourselves sitting two rows away from one of Hollywood's funniest actors
one afternoon during CES.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background: white; line-height: 15.0pt; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 7.5pt;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.5pt;">It
was a serendipitous occurrence: a PR acquaintance shuttled us to a seat at
Panasonic's stage on the show floor just as one talk was wrapping and Danny
DeVito's one-on-one with a CNET editor was about to begin.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.5pt;">Lugging
out his own chair, DeVito set the tone for the interview right away: after
filling in some background on a film clip and asking if the audience could see
him and the screens, he got up to leave 20 seconds later with a wave and a
"Thanks very much!"<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background: white; line-height: 15.0pt; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 7.5pt;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.5pt;">He
sat back down and proceeded to talk about his use of Twitter, his favorite
piece of tech (his iPhone) and how he utilizes tools like Final Cut Pro when
he's working on a movie for 30 more minutes.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background: white; line-height: 15.0pt; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 7.5pt;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.5pt;">DeVito
also showed the audience his de-socked "troll foot," his right foot
that he snaps photos of in various locations and then tweets to his followers.
Did it have anything to do with technology? Not really. Was it memorable?
Absolutely.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background: white; line-height: 15.0pt; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 7.5pt;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.5pt;">He
was irreverent, hilarious and did manage to tie in tech with film making while
cracking up the audience all the way home, leaving us hoping the CES denizens
bring him back next year.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<h3 style="background: white; margin-bottom: 7.5pt; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 15.0pt; mso-line-height-alt: 12.0pt;">

gets serious<o:p></o:p></span></h3>
<div style="background: white; line-height: 15.0pt; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.5pt;">If
it lights up, beeps or boops, you can bet that Sony makes one. The electronics
giant has its logo on all manner of products, but at CES this year, it
confessed to<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><a href="http://www.techradar.com/news/phone-and-communications/mobile-phones/sony-admits-it-took-its-eye-off-the-ball-1123408"><b><span style="color: #0099cc;">taking its eye off the ball</span></b></a>.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.5pt;">"We
used to make people say wow all the time," said a disembodied voice over a
loudspeaker at Sony's press conference. "Our unique combination of artists
and engineers set out to create a surprise everyday. We forgot the power of
that for a while." Humble, and surprisingly wistful.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background: white; line-height: 15.0pt; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 7.5pt;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.5pt;">A

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif";">When Microsoft announced it would be entering the hardware
market with the Surface, heads turned and mouths were slightly agape. With this
tablet that impersonates a laptop, were we seeing Microsoft impersonating Apple
by producing both the machine and the software that would run it?<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Pro</a>, and we went hands-on with it CES this year. While Microsoft wouldn't
let us take photographs, or say exactly what chips are powering it, we've got
everything we were allowed to know written up in our hands on.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<h3 style="background: white;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif";">6. Sony and Panasonic both debut the 'world's first' 4K OLED TV<o:p></o:p></span></h3>
<div style="background: white;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif";">At CES, tech manufacturers are always eager to shout FIRST!!!
over the latest breakthrough. Given that, it's not often that we see almost
simultaneous accomplishments from leaders in the same field.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background: white;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif";">Yet that's what happened at the Sony and Panasonic booths. Both
companies are moguls in the world of Ultra HD displays, and both used CES to
unveil what they called the "world's largest 4K OLED," with Sony even
claiming the "world's first".<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background: white;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif";">Unfortunately, no one had a stopwatch running as this mammoth
displays came off the assembly line, so it can't really be said who was first.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background: white;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif";">At CES, the rivalry between both camps seemed jovial. A
representative from Sony admitted they had no clue Panasonic would be making a
similar debut. Panasonic made news by pointing out that it was partnering with
Sony to pool resources to mass produce this next generation TV in HD
technology.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background: white;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif";">Ultimately, its a win for consumers. This partnership is based
around bringing down the cost of manufacturing these Jumbotrons.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<h3 style="background: white;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif";">7. Xi3 Corporation and Valve talk Steam-powered Piston<o:p></o:p></span></h3>
<div style="background: white;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif";">Gaming is usually a sideshow at CES, but it stole major
spotlight this year thanks to an announcement by Valve.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background: white;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif";">Only the corporation behind<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><em>Half-Life</em><span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>could take people's eyes off 8-foot
televisions. The Seattle-based company used its presence at CES to announce the

so-called Steam Box</a>, a micro form factor PC for the living room.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background: white;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif";">While Valve is still being cagey, the plan seems to be this:
work with multiple hardware manufacturers to build competing Steamboxes with
varying specs. The possibility of Valve producing its own machine internally
remains on the table.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.5pt;">The

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.5pt;">While

Whether on the escalator, around the buffet table or in the press room, someone
was talking about Nvidia's handheld gaming offering.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background: white; line-height: 15.0pt; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 7.5pt;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.5pt;">The
company seemingly came out of left field with the device's announcement during
its Monday press conference.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background: white; line-height: 15.0pt; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 7.5pt;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.5pt;">Calling
it "100 per cent Android", the 4K controller plus 5-inch multitouch
screen also houses the company's new Tegra 4 processor. It really is pure
Android – Project Shield runs Jelly Bean 4.2.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.5pt;">"Project

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.5pt;">"We
imagined a device that would do for games what the iPod and Kindle have done
for music and books, letting us play in a cool new way. We hope other gamers

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.5pt;">Its
20-plus hours of playing time and 720p plus 294 dpi retinal screen make it a
handy device to play. Of course, it's limited to streaming games in the home, a
tether Nvidia is sure to be working on cutting.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background: white; line-height: 15.0pt; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 7.5pt;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.5pt;">With
launch games like<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><em>Call of Duty: Black Ops 2</em><span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>and<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><em>Need for Speed: Most Wanted</em>,

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.5pt;">That
alone is worth a look for most gamers, and because its designs likely extend
far beyond Project Shield, we can't wait to see where Nvidia plans to take
gaming.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

phones kick down the door<o:p></o:p></span></h3>
<div style="background: white; line-height: 15.0pt; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.5pt;">How
practical is a 6.1-inch phone? Huawei, for one, wants users to find the answer
to that question.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background: white; line-height: 15.0pt; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 7.5pt;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.5pt;">The
Chinese phone maker threw down the size gauntlet at CES with the the<a href="http://www.techradar.com/reviews/phones/mobile-phones/huawei-ascend-mate-1122575/review"><b><span style="color: #0099cc;">Ascend Mate</span></b></a>, a gargantuan phone with 1,280
x 720p display that takes up most of the face.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background: white; line-height: 15.0pt; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 7.5pt;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.5pt;">The
specs of the phone aren't terribly impressive – it owns a 1.4GHz quad-core that
lagged and only housed 768 of RAM – though its 4,050mAh battery matches its
size.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background: white; line-height: 15.0pt; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 7.5pt;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.5pt;">Although
it's not the slugger users might expect of such a massive phone, what impressed
us most about Huawei's handset was the company's boldness in presenting it on
the tech world's biggest stage.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background: white; line-height: 15.0pt; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 7.5pt;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.5pt;">The
Mate can at least serve as a jumping off point for those who want to have the
conversation of where phone and tablet begins and ends.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background: white; line-height: 15.0pt; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 7.5pt;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.5pt;">Joining
Huawei in the spotlight was compatriot company ZTE, which introduced the<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><a href="http://www.techradar.com/reviews/phones/mobile-phones/zte-grand-s-1122598/review"><b><span style="color: #0099cc;">Grand S</span></b></a><span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>during
CES and in doing so brought forth the world's thinnest 5-inch quad-core
handset.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background: white; line-height: 15.0pt; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 7.5pt;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.5pt;">With
a profile of just 6.9mm, the Grand S is slight yet punchy, and though the UI
was lacking, we think ZTE could put the hammer to the anvil and come up with a
phone worthy of the title "flagship" by the time it launches.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background: white; line-height: 15.0pt; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 7.5pt;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.5pt;">The
Grand S, like the Mate, will debut in China first with other unspecified
countries to follow. Though it may be some months yet before consumers will
have the choice between either phone or competitors, we were struck by both
firms' ability to bring forth something different and something to at least
take notice off.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

still a positive sign. I saw an encouraging demo where the Purios' image
processing, dubbed ICC (integrated cognitive creation), seemingly revealed a
bit more depth and detail than a comparison model. I also liked the company's
new "Moth eye" screen finish, which straddles the line between matte
and glossy and in demo form did a great job suppressing reflections. I was told
the finish might not make it onto the shipping Purios, but I hope it does.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

OLED? What about off-angle, color accuracy, even passive 3D? I hope to know
soon how our third Best of CES nominee fares.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

with 4K, or Ultra High Definition (UHD) resolution, were front and center in
nearly every major maker's booth, and their huge screens and slow-moving,
short-looping demo material often looked very good (although often worse than I
expected). No pricing was announced for any of the major makers' new 4K sets,
however, and product managers I pressed on the question were universally more
tight-lipped than usual -- not a good sign.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
