Sony may again not be showing any TVs at CES this year, but it’s still going to take the stage to talk about “technologies and initiatives that support creators.” Last year, the company showed off an electric car called the Afeela, which had a built-in PS5 and a screen on the front.
The company has been tight-lipped about what it might show tonight. My money’s on a PS5 with a built-in car.
Sony is no longer abiding by the industry norm of announcing its latest and greatest TVs at CES each year.
The company skipped Vegas and waited until last March to introduce its 2023 lineup. And even then, the lauded A95 QD-OLED TV didn’t actually ship until the fall. Sony is clearly working on a much different timeline than other TV makers these days.
So it should come as no surprise that Digital Trends’ Caleb Denison is reporting that new TVs won’t be part of Sony’s CES 2024 presence. It sounds like the company has made some impressive Mini LED backlighting advancements that will appear in upcoming models — whenever they’re ready.
Sony is still holding a press conference on January 8th, so maybe we’ll get another look at Afeela at this year’s show.
