oh my gosh this big is always this crazy
edsel this is it it's usually a bit crazier
it's usually crazier than this oh boy yep we're actually at pepcom uh the
digital experience but we won't be reporting on what is here right now
actually reporting on stuff that happened before this weird how that works that's right we got
some press conferences to cover NVIDIA announced the rtx 2060 at their press
conference touting it as more powerful than not only the gtx 1060 but also the
1070 which makes sense because it's got
a price to match as Linus talks about in the Linus tech tips review which you can
watch here NVIDIA is most likely also going to launch a gtx
1160. soon which will have the same performance just without ray tracing
so this is cool NVIDIA but
can we get that other one rtx mobile for laptops was also announced so expect to
see a bunch of gaming laptops around the corner NVIDIA's big format gaming
displays are also in attendance here specifically the hp omen x imperium 65
complete with g-sync HDR a 144 hertz
refresh rate and leds on the back no
sounds cool now here's where it gets interesting surprisingly NVIDIA
announced that g-sync is finally going to be compatible with other monitors
that support variable refresh rate like
free sync monitors NVIDIA apparently tested 400 of these
and certified 12 of them as g-sync compatible but you
will be able to run g-sync on non-certified monitors NVIDIA just can't
guarantee the experience will be awesome if you do want that guarantee you can
either buy g-sync certified or g-sync HDR monitors which have now been
rebranded to g-sync ultimate
yeah the walled garden actually is opening up before you know it we'll have
rtx on Radeon cards no come on NVIDIA
make it happen next up on the press conference tour lg we'll start with by
far the most innovative product the lg homebrew aka a keurig for beer except
once you put in the pods you have to wait two weeks
to get your drink but maybe it'll taste better than a beer
you just got from the store i don't know we're moving on last year the company
gave a sneak peek of its prototype rollable tv but now it's an actual
product the lg signature OLED tb
r the tv can completely roll up into a soundbar box at its base hiding it from
view entirely or showing only a section for things like media controls i gotta
be honest guys i thought it was a gimmick at first but now it actually seems kind of cool
what is ces doing this actually isn't ces of pepco sorry
pepco lg also showed off an 8k OLED tv
and announced that in addition to google assistant lg tvs will be getting alexa
support as well as apple airplay and
homekit making them far more useful than just a big old screen that sits in your
room and they've got HDMI 2.12 not bad
not bad at all what say you samsung oh
samsung's got something to say just you watch samsung did not reveal a rolling tv but
they did show off their own 98 inch qled
8k tv also with HDMI 2.1 samsung's tvs
will also have airplay support in addition to the itunes store so you can
rent and buy things so it seems like apple got dragged into ces whether they
wanted to or not they probably wanted to samsung also debuted what they call
micro leds which are small modular units that can be combined to create larger
displays but the big news from samsung is that try as you might to avoid bixby
if you've got anything made by samsung you won't be able to hide for long bixby
is coming to every freaking thing the company makes from its tvs to its
washing machines to its refrigerators that last one seemed kind of useful
since you can ask bixby to show you recipes and samsung also has a mode
where families can put up digital photos on the fridge display because you can't
put up real photos anymore because there's a display there so also there
was a new notebook 9 pro that looks like it might be cool and robots that can
sense your blood pressure cause why not now it's time for quick bits brought to
you by seasonic who's sponsoring all of our coverage here at ces power supplies
are often overlooked they may not excite you like a brand new graphics card does
but a low quality unit can really screw up your system well see sonic are the
power supply masters they've been doing this since the 1980s you can trust their
products to be efficient and dependable so if you're building a new pc or
upgrading your old one make sure you check out see sonic power supplies at the link below one of the quick bits
ASUS has announced a number of new laptops and refreshes here at ces but
the unit that's catching everyone's eye is the mothership because it is an
absolute unit it's basically like a beefy surface pro
for gamers Linus actually did a video on this as well over on Linux tech tips
links up there for watching purposes razer has unveiled the company's first
actual standalone monitor called the raptor
although they spelled it raptor instead of raptur
i guess brand consistency isn't really a concern for them
anyways it's a 27-inch 1440p monitor with a one millisecond response time and
support for freesync not bad for a freshman attempt this guy would
definitely be one of the cool kids in its first year if the monitor was a
freshman insta360 has revealed the titan
a vr camera that ups the resolution from 8k to 11k thanks to eight lenses
equipped with micro four thirds sensors that also support 10 bit color but
prepare to shell out fifteen thousand dollars if you want one or better yet
don't prepare to do that because you almost certainly don't need this
amazon's key program has until now allowed couriers to deliver packages
right inside the consumer's door or car
but i think a lot of people think this is kind of creepy and amazon seems to
recognize this as well they've just announced key for garage which will let
you receive deliveries there instead so
it's slightly safer just don't store your valuables in there
like i do and you should be good what's that and paying for likes on social media is
a generally distasteful practice but japanese billionaire yusaku mayazawa
apparently disagrees he's the guy scheduled to go to the moon on a spacex
vessel you might recall miyazawa tweeted an offer for roughly ten thousand
dollars to 100 different people who followed and retweeted it his tweet
promptly broke twitter's record for most retweets at over 3.5 million you know
this wasn't ces news but i just thought it was so nice of this guy to help people out you know and it's certainly
not helping to continue this episode any longer because it's over but worry not
we'll be back tomorrow to continue our week-long coverage of the parts of ces
2019 that we want to cover because what do you think i am a media conglomerate
with hundreds of employees all these people don't work for me i'm
just riley
