January 5-10, 2010 – Welcome to TelevisionInfo.com's coverage of CES 2010. As always, the Consumer Electronics Show is the biggest event for televisions every year. Manufacturers are kicking off the new decade with over 60 new TVs announced for 2010—so far! The TelevisionInfo team is hot on the trail and live in Las Vegas, bringing you up-to-the-minute news coverage and First Impressions reviews of what's hot at CES.

The LG LE9500 certainly has some nice features working in its favor. It's got local dimming, 480Hz TruMotion, NetCast, DLNA, wireless broadband ready capability, wireless HD ready, 2 USB ports, and it's 3D ready. |
The LG 55LE8500 is a 55-inch LED edge-lit LCD television. Positioned as the second-highest teir series, the LE85000s are likely to be strong performers, but they lack the 3D bells and whistles of the LE9500 series. |

In addition to 3D, the TC-P65VT25 is wireless ready. This feature allows users to access online content via Panasonic's Viera Cast system, and place video calls via Skype. |
The G20 series from Panasonic has nearly identical features to the G25 series. The only difference is the G20 TVs cannot connect to a network camera wirelessly, using Viera Cast. | |
| Sony | ||
|
The XBR-HX900 series is one of the premium series in Sony's 2010 lineup. The prototype we looked at, the XBR-52HX900, had a Full HD panel with 240Hz Motionflow Pro processing and an LED backlight capable of local dimming.
|
The Sony XBR-60LX900 is Sony's new flagship model, complete with built-in support for 3D. |
|
|
The Sony KDL-32EX308 is one of the few displays at its size and price that offers internet connectivity. It will probably appeal to gadget fans on a budget. |
The KDL-60NX800 will be available in February and will be priced at about $4000. This HDTV has a pretty broad feature set: 240Hz motion processing, support for streaming video and audio, and a good selection of connections. |
|
|
The KDL-32BX300 takes Sony to an interesting new place: a price point of under $500 for a 32-inch HDTV. That makes this new model one of the cheaper 32-inch HDTVs out there. |

| Samsung | ||
|
Measuring an incredible 0.3 inches thick (the width of a pencil), the UN55C9000 has a 3D display, 2D-to-3D realtime upconversion, and a must-see-to-believe touch screen remote control. |
|
|
|
The Samsung LN60C650 is a mid-level LCD television that offers only a sprinkling of improvements over the previous generation. |
The Samsung LN46C550 is a middle-of-the-road LCD television that doesn't debut much in the way of technology, but should be a solid choice for a living room TV at an affordable price. |
|
| Sharp | ||
|
The LC-68LE920UN offers edge-lit LED backlights, Internet streaming and 240Hz motion processing. That's a common set of features, but this mode does have two unusual, new features: it's one of the few 68-inch models, and the panel uses 4 colors, adding yellow to the usual red, green and blue components. |
The Sharp LC-60LE820UN will be priced at around $4000 when it is released in March. |
|
| Other Manufacturers | ||
|
The Toshiba Cell TV is one of the most talked about products here at CES 2010. Here's what's promised: 3D display, a 4K resolution, the most powerful processor in any television, a 1TB media drive, 480Hz refresh rate, 2D-to-3D realtime upconversion, wireless HD, and 512 zones of LED backlighting.
|
Imagine a TV with no wires. We mean no wires, at all. Haier, the Chinese company better known as an appliance manufacturer, is showcasing a new technology here at CES that conducts electricity wireless to the TV, as well as streaming content. |

Samsung UN32D5500 LED LCD HDTV Review
The D5500 has a rather high MSRP of $699, considering it’s only a 32-inch TV. There are some “premiums upgrades,” a term we use with some dubiousness, knowing that these features can be far less valuable than they appear. Nevertheless, at its core this is a good television. If you can find it a significantly reduced price it would make a great addition to a home theater. Read More...
