Now that the dust has settled following both last year’s CEATEC show in Japan and the recent Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, we’re finally in a position to see the lay of the land when it comes to TV technology in 2009. And actually, contrary to the rather negative reporting given to CES in particular, I’m really quite excited by what’s in prospect. For while there might not be a whole lot of completely new, ‘blue sky’ stuff in the 2009 pipeline, I feel extremely confident that the quality of our viewing experiences is going to make a huge leap in the right direction.
Probably the single most important technological reason for this is the expected explosion in the number of LCD TVs with LED backlights. As regular readers will know, I’ve been predicting since the end of 2007 - when I saw the first LED TV, Samsung’s LE52F96 - that LED would eventually dominate the quality TV scene. And this has merely been reinforced by recent reviews of new LED models from Samsung, Philips and, especially, Sony.
