You should be looking at IFA Berlin as the principle launch point, with CEDIA that is usually very close to the same time as a spot where additional demonstrations and product announcements occur.
Online rags like FlatPanelHD and others made a big point of placing so much attention that nothing at CES meant something had changed, instead they never noticed that CES as it was  has sailed away.
The prototypes of Panasonic, Samsung, Sony UHD BD players occurred at IFA Berlin. The center that CEDIA was planned to used is booked for COVID19 support for the remainder of 2020. There might be a virtual series of meetings.  |
Samsung pulled out of making 4k players years ago. Mainly because they dropped 3d support and never supported dolby vision. Even if they wanted to add dolby vision they couldnt because their own tv division refused to support it- it would just create customer confusion and make their 8k tvs look bad for not having it. So when you say samsung is making new 4k player this year you may want to double check the source of that article you read, as samsung tvs still do not support dolby vision- it not in line with their tv offerings thus they shit canned the players
