CES 2024 takes place in Las Vegas from 9th to 12th January. It’s the world’s biggest Consumer Electronics Show, and it’s the place where we get to see amazing new tech from the biggest brands – along with fun and quirky tuff from the smaller tech companies. Here’s a rundown of all the big announcements so far.

TVs at CES 2024

Samsung goes transparent and glare-free

Samsung has announced its 2024 TV lineup, which includes the first world transparent - yes, transparent - Micro-LED display. The demo at the show really wowed the crowd, with everything from flashing fireworks to splashing paint appearing in spectacular colours onscreen.

We’re also going to see some Samsung TVs with glare-free technology, which is another feature that really impresses up close. The screen has a matte finish that absorbs light, rather than reflecting it - so nothing detracts from the bright and vibrant OLED display.

The latest Neo QLED 8K, Neo QLED 4K, OLED were also showcased, and these TVs will be using advanced AI to enhance motion, depth and audio,. Samsung says they will: “combine best-in-class picture quality with premium features.”

LG TVs go big on AI. And transparency!

LG is rocking CES 2024 with a genuine game-changer - the world’s first wireless transparent OLED TV. The 77-inch display gives an almost 3-D like sense of depth when the transparency mode is switched on. And with a push of the remote’s button, you can see what’s behind the screen. Very cool.

Other OLED TVs in the new LG range will be using AI to sharpen objects, refine colours, and produce virtual surround sound for a more lifelike viewing experience than ever before.

Guess who’s back?

We first saw Bally as a tennis-ball sized robot at CES 2020. Now it’s back (and bigger), with a built-in projector and advanced tech inside its cute body. As you can see from the video above, Bally can follow you (or your pets) around the home to make sure everything’s okay. It’ll even greet you with a welcome message as you walk in the door. Lovely stuff.

Paws for thought

Here’s a smart door that only opens when it detects the sensor on your dogs collar approaching. And with the accompanying app, you can track your dog’s location and set curfew times so it doesn’t go outside too late.
