More from CES 2024: all the TVs, laptops, smart home gear, and more from the show floor
I’m at LG’s press conference, where I’m hoping to get a first glimpse at the company’s new smart home robot “AI Agent.”
LG has already made a slew of announcements, including the reveal of its transparent TV.
But here’s hoping they have some surprises in store this morning. Because it’s way too early to be subjected to this much bass.
LG announced its CES 2024 lineup already, and it will be less about TVs and much more about AI this year. There will be TVs, though. Plenty of them.
Here’s the livestream, and of course you can keep up with the rest of our CES 2024 coverage right here.
We’re expecting to see some new RTX 40-series Super cards today, if leaks and Nvidia’s own teasers are anything to go by. Nvidia is holding a “special address” keynote at CES 2024, starting at 8AM PT / 11AM ET / 4PM GMT today. You can watch the whole show below, and stayed tuned to The Verge for all the latest Nvidia news.
AMD is returning to CES 2024 this year to talk about AI PCs. Rumors suggest there could be some new Ryzen mobile chips, potentially a new AM4 processor, and even a new Radeon RX 7600 XT GPU. AMD’s event kicks off at 8AM PT / 10AM ET / 3PM GMT today, and you can watch the whole thing below. Stay tuned to The Verge for all the latest news from AMD.
The company’s “Perfectly Imperfect” series of Card Spot trackers have small cosmetic flaws but otherwise work “seamlessly,” according to a press release. I’m guessing that the trackers should indeed work just fine; I don’t see why minor external scuffs would make a difference.
They’ll be available to buy starting January 9th for $35, and Chipolo will donate a dollar to one of three nonprofits for every “Perfectly Imperfect” tracker sold.
The company’s fitness watches are unmatched in longevity, value over time, and their ability to track all the performance minutia athletes want to track. But Garmin Connect — which ties everything together — well... sucks, which was made all the more obvious after Apple started playing on Garmin’s turf. The new Connect app and website is currently beta-only for select customers, but is coming to everyone “later this year.”
Can. Not. Wait.
Unlike LG’s transparent OLED TV, Sammy’s transparent MicroLED display is still just a prototype, but CES 2024 is the first time Samsung is showing it in public.
As a reminder, MicroLED — first seen in “The Wall” at CES several years ago — has many of the same benefits as OLED (like self-lit pixels) without the organic downsides or chance of burn-in. But MicroLED is still too expensive despite the seamless panels getting smaller and more TV-like in recent years.
The Signature OLED T is a 77-inch TV with a very unique gimmick. But it’s hard to imagine the pricey novelty wouldn’t wear off over time.
The Signature OLED T — T for transparent — is a new 77-inch 4K TV that’ll go on sale later this year. It’s not the best TV for the money, but this is something you’d buy just because you can.
I’m a sucker for Sharge’s charging gear because it looks like nothing else, and that continues to be true of the new Sharge 170 model and especially the “Internet Hostkey” in my CES hands-on gallery below. Be warned that the Hostkey comes in a wimpy 40Wh capacity model in addition to its reasonable 72Wh one. Here’s my video with a few earlier Sharge products.
