CES 2025: What’s coming at this year’s tech show
The big CES 2025 event kicks off tomorrow in Las Vegas with over 100,000 attendees. I’ve got the inside scoop on what’s hot this year.
TVs are always big
LG’s hoping to steal the show with its Zero Connect box. No cables — it wirelessly transmits 4K video at 144Hz. Plus, LG will introduce its Dynamic QNED Color Solution system, better HDR and sound optimization, and a Magic Remote, a voice-controlled and gesture-enabled universal remote that doubles as a mouse for your TV. (Smart — the LG remote is horrible now.) They’ll also unveil the UltraGear GX9, a bendable 45-inch monitor with a 5K2K resolution (5120×2160) and a 21:9 aspect ratio.
Samsung’s new 83-inch S95F QD-OLED TV is its largest yet. And Samsung’s The Premiere 8K projector is coming — think HDR support and a stunning 4500 ISO lumens brightness. Too bad there are no 8K shows yet.
Hisense will show off a laser projector, and Panasonic’s back in the TV business here, so they’ll have a few products, too.
Smarter homes
Samsung’s Bespoke $4,999 refrigerators have built-in cameras to monitor your groceries and automatically order replacements through Instacart. Plus, a 32-inch screen on the fridge streams live TV and movies.
New smart ovens use AI to suggest recipes based on what’s in your fridge. You can see the food cooking remotely through your phone. GE’s stand mixer has AI weight sensors that automatically adjust your mixing speed and time based on the consistency of your batter or dough. Cooks should love this!
Kohler’s new AI bath-filling system lets you control the water temperature and fill level using your phone or voice assistant. Just say, “Fill the tub for a relaxing soak,” and it does the rest.
Moen’s system lets you control every faucet, showerhead and irrigation system in your home through an app. It also sends potential leak alerts. I could really use this now, as my pool is leaking. Argh.
Tech meets the road
Honda is debuting its futuristic 0 Series EVs and a joint project with Sony called the Afeela, which is basically a theater on wheels. Imagine watching Netflix while your car drives you home.
Hyundai is showing off its Holographic Windshield Display, and XPeng will debut its Land Aircraft Carrier, a six-wheeled EV that doubles as a launchpad for a two-seat flying car … not for me. Volkswagen offshoot Scout Motors is loading its EVs with a built-in satellite connection — that’s smart.
AI is the star of the show
Nvidia will unveil its RTX 5090 GPU with 32GB of GDDR7 memory. Translation? Unbelievable graphics and lightning-fast performance. AMD’s RDNA 4 graphics cards promise better ray tracing and AI features. Whether you’re into gaming or just love powerful tech, these are the cards to watch.
Look for AI gadgets like smart planters, new robotic vacuums, smart locks, Wi‑Fi 7 routers and a slew of satellite communication devices to keep you connected in remote areas.
AI laptops will be shown, including Lenovo’s next ThinkBook Plus with a rollable display. Of course, there will be new AI-powered smart glasses, rings and earbuds that help with health tracking by offering real-time feedback. And more — much more!
