CES January 5-10, 2020 What happens in Las Vegas will be broadcast World Wide

[Robert Zohn]

We'll see all of the new TVs for 2020 and some samples even beyond the 2020 model year.

Any members, mods or admins going to CES this year?

Also, I'm getting ready for my CES panel discussion "The Road Ahead for 8K UHD" Hope to have a nice surprise to announce at CES.

Looking forward in another Sony Z model being introduced, but this time with the original BMD (or MiniLED) and without X-wide view.

Yes would like to see a Sony 85" Z with BMD or MiniLed. Being it on I will buy.

NO MORE X-WIDE VIEW AT THE EXPENSE OF DEEP BLACKS AND CONTRAST ON SONY MODELS.

I’ll be there at CES Robert, don’t know my schedule yet, though.

Robert,

Please ask Panasonic when the blankity-blank they are going to give UB9000 owners the option to turn OFF the ridiculous and utterly stupid automatic shutdown (when on pause) after a measly 20 minutes.

I am so sick of it, I am actually considering selling my UB9000 and just go back to the UB900.

Don't all Panasonic 4K players have this feature?

The 820 also has it unfortunately.

My Panasonic UB900 doesn't do it. At least, not after a measly 20 minutes.

And whatever Panasonic model I had before that (standard Blu-ray) didn't do it either. Nor the Panasonic model before that.

I think I already answered this question multiple times before. The answer is never. Unless Robert’s Panasonic Japan is different from mine.

[Robert Zohn]

I never stop asking for the ability to disable or adjust the 20 minute shut off along with my few other wish list enhancements.

[youngsyp]

Looking forward to see what Panasonic have on offer, with regards to displays next year. Can they top the GZ2000?

I just hope we get new UHD BD players and preferably from Panasonic!

[Robert Zohn]

Sorry to report, but Panasonic told me no 2020 successor for the UB420, UB820 and UB9000.

[Scarriere]

It would be nice to hear if Yamaha announces new AVRs.
I need an Advantage but don't want to buy, then new ones are released days after, haha!

UHD Players are no longer in a annual model succession, usually at least 2 years interval dependent on the SoC in some manner where it’s hardware based processing/decoding has been improved as required to support evolving media playback.

So, should we not expect any new UHD player announcements Rob?

No new BD players from Panasonic, the UB420, UB820 and UB9000 will continue on for the 2020 model year. Not sure about other brands.

We certainly know that Oppo won't be releasing any new models. I would be very suprised if we even get any more firmware updates as it's been nearly a year since the last one.

Curious if they jump into the dynamic tone mapping come 2021.

I'd like to see some 80-85" 4k oleds. But my understanding is the current production stamps limit the cuts to 77" until 2021/2022. The cuts will then change from 77 to 75" and then 80/82/85" cuts can be made. (which is how cuts work for lcd currently)..
