All of the above and more will be revealed at the annual CES (Consumer Electronics Show) January 8-11, 2004 in Las Vegas, Nevada. From the latest in DVD recorders and Flat Panel Televisions to video projectors and high-end Vacuum Tube audio, CES Will have it all.
The show itself will be scattered all over Las Vegas and manufacturers large and small will display their wares for the retailers and media. The main exhibit areas of the show will be headquarted in the massive Las Vegas Convention Center, with most independent high-end audio manufacturers displaying their products across town at the Alexis Park Hotel. There will even be special exhibitors from independent foreign manufacturers from countries such as Israel, Sweden, China, Germany, and more.
Although the show typically covers a wide range of home electronics product areas, areas of special interest will include: Home Theater and Home Networking, Digital Image and Video, Mobile Electronics, Satellite Radio, Energy Efficiency. New product introductions also will play a major part in the show, with iBiquity Digital introducing HD Radio, and the Blu-ray Disc Association previewing high-defintion recordable DVD products. Also, the lastest advances in multi-room audio and video networking products will be displayed. In addition, there is always a "surprise" announcement or two to spice things up, as well as displays of product prototypes not yet available for market. This is just a taste of what will be at the show.
As in previous years, your intrepid guide plans to be on hand to check out all the lastest "stuff", ask probing questions, and getting some great photos of exhibits of interest related to home theater. Upon return, I will be posting a series of followup articles highlighting and explaining the latest products and trends in home theater. For a look at my coverage of previous CES events, Click Here.
Well, its time to pack up my bags and head out. With my laptop and digital camera in tow (literally), watch for news updates as well as some photos during the show. Watch for additional photos and articles in upcoming weeks.
