by admin on January 7, 2010

There are a huge load of Blu Ray product launches at CES this year, with a lot of focus on the recently finalised Blu Ray 3D.  There are players, full home cinema systems and even some portables. Products have been announced by Toshiba, Sony, Samsung, Panasonic and LG amongst others.

We will be gathering all of the information the vendors have made available and will be commenting on the announcements.

One thing looks sure: Blu Ray + 3D looks like a very popular move. Thankfully there are also many 3d TVs being released as well, all the way up to a huge 4kx2k 152″ display!

More once we have ploughed through the various press releases and product announcements.
