Smart Home Pro

CEPro has published a roundup of new innovations on display at CES 2010.

3D Television is certainly on the way, though perhaps still in the early stages as there are some standards to shake out.

Yes, BluRay and DirecTV will have 3D content first.  You'll need one of the compatible new televisions by Mitsubishi, Panasonic, LG, Samsung or others.

Anyone stopping by the showroom recently will know that "thin is in."  But it'll get better if OLED prices can come down and panel sizes can increase.  I'd say OLED screens from LG and Samsung were under 1/4" thick, though LG did a better job of placing the electronics.

The crew is back from this year's 2010 International CES (Consumer Electronics Show) in Las Vegas.  The Electronic Home Expo (EHX) was included, so many of our home integration suppliers were included.

CES is posting video summaries on their YouTube Channel.   The big topic of the show was 3D Television.   Every television supplier had a demonstration (Panasonic, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi).

In other news on the television front, LG, Samsung and Panasonic also showed some impressive prototype panels, from the enormous 152 inch Panasonic plasma panel to the ultra-slim but still small sized Organic LED (OLED) displays at LG and Samsung.

LG is introducing Skype and NetCast enabled televisions (you supply the USB camera for Skype).  Mitsubishi showcased their LaserVue television.   I've seen this television and it is every bit as good, and in some ways better than the best plasma I've seen.  Energy consumption is great and this technology has great potential for larger screens.
