CES 2007 Show Coverage OFFICIAL THREAD

The 'On Location #2' video was excellent! Great coverage and very funny! I presume it was Tom Andry behind the camera, what with his unique sense of humour?

Did anyone get a chance to look at the Samsung LED DLP TVs at the show? I just read over the page here and am curious how they looked in person? I am wodering if the picture quality is evolutionary or revolutionary? I am still trying to decide if I should wait on SED for a TV upgrade.

Actually, Eric was behind the camera. We all came up with the gags. And I was the guy in the yellow shirt. The only scene I shot was the brief clip of Eric getting bags piled up on him. Clint (I think) shot the clip of Eric talking about the 3D display.

Oh. Sorry for besmirching you then.

CES 2007 Suggestions for Improvement

Great editorial! I only recommend CES for masochists and budding sadists - and audioholics. It is the greatest collection of incompetent marketing personnel within a five mile radius. I did note that some manufacturers pulled out of CES proper showfloor this year including Marantz and Denon (who I believe were offsite at the Aladdin). I'm glad that the Audioholics staff survived and managed to cover as much as you did. Congratulations!

I saw it and couldn't tell you offhand if the picture was much better than regular lamp-based systems. They claimed the technology auto-adjusts for the color LEDs which degrade over time - I have a technical contact to get the skinny on the system later this year.

When are the RBH Sound videos going up?

Also, did you guys notice that the video intro screens all say "Pursint the Truth in Audio Video"

They should be up soon. Our Video Guy's Mac HD took a dive at the show so he has to re-create the final videos again.

Yes we fixed the spelling error already. thanks for noticing.

Was there no info on the Denon 3808? All I saw was the over-my-budget seperates.....

 

[AVRat]

I'm hoping Denon's flagship pre-pro tech will trickle down into a more affordable ine of HT preamp procs. Something in the $2k region would be nice.

I’ll second that, otherwise I’ll have to look elsewhere and I’m not ready to pay the price of an Anthem AVM-50.

Who was the babe in that on location video? DAYMN!

I must say, after seeing ALL the videos, Clint is by far the best talker. It's like he had memorized lines. Very professional.

BTW, what are jiggawatts?

No, I saw the video... I thought there was some other joke that I was missing or do you really know know where that statement came from?

SheepStar

A gigawatt is 10^9 or 1 billion watts.

 

[BabelFish]

A gigawatt is 10^9 or 1 billion watts.

1.21 gigawatts is also the amount of power required to run the flux capacitor and allow time travel (according to Hollywood)

 

[Sheep]

I'm pretty sure he said "Jiggawatts" Not Gigga.

Hence, it being funny.
