Having pounded the floors of CES here in Las Vegas over the past five days, it’s become clear that this year, big screen LCD TVs and the elimination of cables to transfer those high def signals wirelessly are hot.

While last year’s show was dominated by 80in or higher sized plasma TVs, this year it’s LCDs hitting that size. Many are not out yet, and the first wave will be 50in plus models, but supersize LCDs will not be far behind.

And to go with those TVs are more HD DVD and Blu-ray drives. LG’s hybrid Blu-ray player has grabbed loads of attention, but the company is also bringing out a hybrid PC drive too, although its high launch price will put off many.

In the PC space, Vista is the talk of the town. Manufacturers have been saying the past month has been very slow as people hang on for the new operating system. And they are lining up many machines – particularly laptops – to launch once Vista ships at the end of this month.

The most eye-catching products were, I think, display based. On Sony’s stand it is showing some stunning looking OLED TVs (pictured left). The TVs were only millimetres thick and although most were only 11inches in sreen size – clearly not big enough - you could see where the technology is heading. And Sony also had a working 27in model on the stand.

Sharp has an incredible looking 108in LCD HDTV (pictured right) on its stand. It’ll take up a whole wall and is going to cost $60,000 or more, but far from being a concept device, Sharp will start selling it from August.

Philips had its one-off diamond flat TV – complete with 2,200 diamonds. And it also has a couple of three dimensional displays. Used for signage, the company said they will be commercially available TVs within a few years.

Having films or programmes with real depth and leaping out will get Hollywood’s creative juices flowing, and Philips also believes they’ll attract serious gamers as well.
