Every year, the International Consumer Electronics Show (CES) kicks off in Las Vegas, USA, marking one of the most anticipated events in the tech world. As a global platform for innovation, CES showcases cutting-edge technologies and groundbreaking products from around the world. Since its debut in 1967, the event has always been a hub for audio-visual advancements, with TVs and related devices at the forefront. Samsung, a pioneer in color TV technology, consistently steals the spotlight at CES with its latest innovations. What new breakthroughs will Samsung bring to the table at CES 2018? Let’s dive into the highlights.
One of the most eye-catching trends this year is the rise of ultra-large 8K screens. With the average daily information intake now reaching about 220,000 GB, our screens have become like a second pair of eyes. The demand for larger displays continues to grow, with the average TV size increasing by 2 inches annually. In 2018, it's expected that over 80% of TVs priced above 10,000 yuan will be 65 inches or larger. Samsung has already embraced the 75-inch era, making large-screen TVs a major focus at their booth this year.
In addition to size, 8K technology is gaining momentum. Similar to how 4K took off before 2014, as the price gap between 4K and 8K TVs narrows, consumer interest is expected to surge. The 8K trend is already visible, with events like the 2018 Pyeongchang Winter Olympics using 8K signals, and movies like *Guardians of the Galaxy 2* shot in 8K. This momentum suggests 8K could soon become a new standard, and Samsung is ready to lead the charge.
Samsung is also pushing forward with two key display technologies: QLED and MicroLED. While 4K, HDR, curved designs, and ultra-thin models remain popular, QLED has captured consumer attention with its high-end image and superior quality. According to GfK, QLED TV sales are projected to rise from 390,000 units in 2017 to 532,000 in 2018. Samsung is not only investing heavily in QLED but also introducing upgraded versions of their flagship models.
As for MicroLED, although Samsung hasn’t officially announced it yet, the technology is promising. With LED units smaller than 100 micrometers, MicroLED offers advantages in brightness, power efficiency, and response time. It can also be used to create flexible screens when combined with plastic substrates, opening up exciting possibilities for future TV designs.
Another highlight of this year’s CES is Samsung’s Bixby, the AI assistant that aims to connect all smart devices. From smartphones and TVs to refrigerators and even cars, Bixby is designed to make the Internet of Things (IoT) seamless. Samsung launched the Chinese version of Bixby last November, signaling its commitment to integrating all devices through a unified platform. The TV, as the center of home entertainment, is set to interact more closely with other smart appliances, potentially transforming how we live.
With so many innovations on display, the 2018 CES promises to be another milestone for Samsung. From 8K displays to QLED and MicroLED advancements, and the integration of Bixby across the IoT ecosystem, the company is setting the stage for a smarter, more connected future. Stay tuned for more updates from the show, and keep an eye on Zhongguancun Online’s special coverage of CES 2018.
