CES celebrates half a century setting the standard in consumer electronics

If fifty years ago 17,500 professionals participated in New York, at this CES 2017 in Las Vegas the figure is expected to exceed 165,000 attendees.

This year, CES celebrates half a century of history that has set the standard for consumer electronics around the world. Since back in 1967 with barely 200 exhibitors it began its journey in New York until today, the Consumer Electronics Show has been a first-class technological showcase. If fifty years ago 17,500 professionals participated, at this CES 2017 it is expected that the number will exceed 165,000 attendees who will travel from January 5 to 8 to Las Vegas to try to anticipate what is to come not only during this year but in the coming ones.

This edition will be marked by the increase in content on OTT platforms and smartphones, where content discovery systems will play an increasingly relevant role.

On the other hand, in Las Vegas there will be many devices that incorporate voice recognition whose evolution is evident in recent years, in some cases developing algorithms close to human compression capacity. New solutions will arrive at CES to demonstrate that it is possible to change the way we interact with different devices.

4K will flood the halls of the Las Vegas Convention Center, although in this case it will be high dynamic range (HDR) that will set the pace. We will also have to be very attentive to the new version of the Shield 4K, the Android streaming multimedia player that incorporates HDR and Dolby Atmos technology.

On Sony's part, we will be able to see its new high-end televisions with OLED panels with sizes that will probably range from 55 to 65 inches. The Japanese multinational will take advantage of its presence in Las Vegas to debut a new 4K Blu Ray player.
LG will unveil its new Super UHD models with Nano Cell, an advanced LCD panel technology that improves color reproduction, Active HDR and Dolby Vision.

Samsung comes to CES with its new curved monitors, its new smart TV designs and the latest advances in sound. Precisely in audio, we will experience a true invasion of speakers and sound bars from 8 to 24 bits.
