Report from the 2005 Home Entertainment Show
Posted by James Fee in "ARTICLE" @ 01:30 PM
"The Home Entertainment Show was held again in New York City at the Hilton from April 28th through May 1st. It’s comprised of dealers and manufacturers alike, showing off their wares in hotel rooms and suites. This is one of the few consumer electronics shows open to the public, and its goal is to reflect the current state of home entertainment products including high definition TV, high-resolution video, and multi-channel surround sound. Unlike other CE shows, HES, which is sponsored by Primedia, features numerous esoteric audio companies along with mainstream brands like HP, Polk, RCA, Runco, Samsung, and Yamaha. Surprisingly, several new 1080p HDTVs were introduced this year in addition to some really slick (if expensive) audiophile-like products. In fact, there were more than 250 brands on four floors of the Hilton. Also, there were several technology seminars presided over by various CE journalists, covering different aspects of Home Theater, Big Screen Technologies, Convergence, and Analog Audio. This reporter’s coverage primarily focuses on new TV/Video and Audio products, and only scratches the surface."
A very detailed report with some really interesting products. I just need to figure out how to convince my wife that we need to replace my classic Marantz turntable with the ELP laser turntable. :twisted:
