get bigger this year with displays exceeding the 100-inch mark.
Moreover, there will also be a more diverse selection of TVs as more and more manufacturers are adopting OLED displays for their TV lineup. And because of this, OLED and LED displays are expected to be relatively cheaper compared to previous years.

and connectivity options to allow game relaying from a computer connected to a
network.
Other PC, tablet and smartphone manufacturers are also
expected to show off their latest devices, specifically their latest android

Last but definitely not the least is the practical living section. According to
reports and press conferences, this year’s CES will feature several companies
