Designtechnica's CES 2004 Wrap-Up
by Jeff Fila
Flat Panels Everywhere
With LCD and plasma displays becoming the standard for home use, one of the
highlights of the show was the LG Electronics 76-inch PDP. It features 2.07
million pixels and a 1920x1280 progressive scan high-definition resolution, and
is only 83mm thick. Pricing is not available at this time as the display won't
be seen in retail in the US until the fourth quarter of 2004. All of the major players in the LCD and PDP market had something new to
display, and their exhibit space was often as interesting as the products
themselves. We have heard rumors that Panasonic refused to acknowledge Samsung
as a competitor until just recently. There should be no debate now. Samsung's
booth was one of the largest and most impressive at the show. They reportedly
started putting the exhibit together in November. Inside their walls of LCD's
was, well, more LCD's. 
Samsung's booth was surrounded by and full of flat
panel displays.
