oh my gosh this big is always this crazy
0:03
edsel this is it it's usually a bit crazier
0:07
it's usually crazier than this oh boy yep we're actually at pepcom uh the
0:12
digital experience but we won't be reporting on what is here right now
0:16
actually reporting on stuff that happened before this weird how that works that's right we got
0:21
some press conferences to cover NVIDIA announced the rtx 2060 at their press
0:25
conference touting it as more powerful than not only the gtx 1060 but also the
0:30
1070 which makes sense because it's got
0:33
a price to match as Linus talks about in the Linus tech tips review which you can
0:38
watch here NVIDIA is most likely also going to launch a gtx
0:42
1160. soon which will have the same performance just without ray tracing
0:47
so this is cool NVIDIA but
0:53
can we get that other one rtx mobile for laptops was also announced so expect to
0:57
see a bunch of gaming laptops around the corner NVIDIA's big format gaming
1:01
displays are also in attendance here specifically the hp omen x imperium 65
1:06
complete with g-sync HDR a 144 hertz
1:10
refresh rate and leds on the back no
1:14
sounds cool now here's where it gets interesting surprisingly NVIDIA
1:18
announced that g-sync is finally going to be compatible with other monitors
1:22
that support variable refresh rate like
1:25
free sync monitors NVIDIA apparently tested 400 of these
1:30
and certified 12 of them as g-sync compatible but you
1:35
will be able to run g-sync on non-certified monitors NVIDIA just can't
1:38
guarantee the experience will be awesome if you do want that guarantee you can
1:42
either buy g-sync certified or g-sync HDR monitors which have now been
1:46
rebranded to g-sync ultimate
1:49
yeah the walled garden actually is opening up before you know it we'll have
1:54
rtx on Radeon cards no come on NVIDIA
1:58
make it happen next up on the press conference tour lg we'll start with by
2:02
far the most innovative product the lg homebrew aka a keurig for beer except
2:08
once you put in the pods you have to wait two weeks
2:11
to get your drink but maybe it'll taste better than a beer
2:15
you just got from the store i don't know we're moving on last year the company
2:19
gave a sneak peek of its prototype rollable tv but now it's an actual
2:23
product the lg signature OLED tb
2:26
r the tv can completely roll up into a soundbar box at its base hiding it from
2:32
view entirely or showing only a section for things like media controls i gotta
2:36
be honest guys i thought it was a gimmick at first but now it actually seems kind of cool
2:41
what is ces doing this actually isn't ces of pepco sorry
2:45
pepco lg also showed off an 8k OLED tv
2:48
and announced that in addition to google assistant lg tvs will be getting alexa
2:53
support as well as apple airplay and
2:56
homekit making them far more useful than just a big old screen that sits in your
3:00
room and they've got HDMI 2.12 not bad
3:04
not bad at all what say you samsung oh
3:07
samsung's got something to say just you watch samsung did not reveal a rolling tv but
3:12
they did show off their own 98 inch qled
3:15
8k tv also with HDMI 2.1 samsung's tvs
3:19
will also have airplay support in addition to the itunes store so you can
3:23
rent and buy things so it seems like apple got dragged into ces whether they
3:27
wanted to or not they probably wanted to samsung also debuted what they call
3:31
micro leds which are small modular units that can be combined to create larger
3:36
displays but the big news from samsung is that try as you might to avoid bixby
3:42
if you've got anything made by samsung you won't be able to hide for long bixby
3:47
is coming to every freaking thing the company makes from its tvs to its
3:51
washing machines to its refrigerators that last one seemed kind of useful
3:54
since you can ask bixby to show you recipes and samsung also has a mode
3:58
where families can put up digital photos on the fridge display because you can't
4:02
put up real photos anymore because there's a display there so also there
4:06
was a new notebook 9 pro that looks like it might be cool and robots that can
4:10
sense your blood pressure cause why not now it's time for quick bits brought to
4:13
you by seasonic who's sponsoring all of our coverage here at ces power supplies
4:17
are often overlooked they may not excite you like a brand new graphics card does
4:21
but a low quality unit can really screw up your system well see sonic are the
4:25
power supply masters they've been doing this since the 1980s you can trust their
4:30
products to be efficient and dependable so if you're building a new pc or
4:33
upgrading your old one make sure you check out see sonic power supplies at the link below one of the quick bits
4:39
ASUS has announced a number of new laptops and refreshes here at ces but
4:42
the unit that's catching everyone's eye is the mothership because it is an
4:47
absolute unit it's basically like a beefy surface pro
4:51
for gamers Linus actually did a video on this as well over on Linux tech tips
4:55
links up there for watching purposes razer has unveiled the company's first
4:59
actual standalone monitor called the raptor
5:03
although they spelled it raptor instead of raptur
5:06
i guess brand consistency isn't really a concern for them
5:09
anyways it's a 27-inch 1440p monitor with a one millisecond response time and
5:14
support for freesync not bad for a freshman attempt this guy would
5:18
definitely be one of the cool kids in its first year if the monitor was a
5:22
freshman insta360 has revealed the titan
5:25
a vr camera that ups the resolution from 8k to 11k thanks to eight lenses
5:30
equipped with micro four thirds sensors that also support 10 bit color but
5:34
prepare to shell out fifteen thousand dollars if you want one or better yet
5:38
don't prepare to do that because you almost certainly don't need this
5:42
amazon's key program has until now allowed couriers to deliver packages
5:47
right inside the consumer's door or car
5:50
but i think a lot of people think this is kind of creepy and amazon seems to
5:54
recognize this as well they've just announced key for garage which will let
5:58
you receive deliveries there instead so
6:01
it's slightly safer just don't store your valuables in there
6:05
like i do and you should be good what's that and paying for likes on social media is
6:10
a generally distasteful practice but japanese billionaire yusaku mayazawa
6:15
apparently disagrees he's the guy scheduled to go to the moon on a spacex
6:18
vessel you might recall miyazawa tweeted an offer for roughly ten thousand
6:22
dollars to 100 different people who followed and retweeted it his tweet
6:26
promptly broke twitter's record for most retweets at over 3.5 million you know
6:31
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
6:35
not helping to continue this episode any longer because it's over but worry not
6:40
we'll be back tomorrow to continue our week-long coverage of the parts of ces
6:43
2019 that we want to cover because what do you think i am a media conglomerate
6:47
with hundreds of employees all these people don't work for me i'm
6:51
just riley
