AMD will live stream its 6th Jan CES 2020 press conference

Outside of AMD, anyone else looking forward to anything from any particular companies at CES?

Im a fan of the new 8K OLED TV's from LG and Samsung, they truly do look beautiful from what ive seen. Just a shame there's barely any content for 4K let alone 8K.
Though at least the upscaling is supposed to be really good for these TV's, so the next gen consoles can massively benefit.

Also looking forward to see what Sony announce, one for PS5 and another for their WH1000xm4 headphones

I would like to see more TV announcements, especially a 43inch that can do more than 60hz with a hdmi 2.1. I would possibly not go back to a monitor if they do it. Cannot justify the stupid prices the monitor companies charge, and even if i did the only 2 - 43inch monitors out there have a bazilion of issues and are BGR.

I think this year is supposedly a big year for TV tech, there have been big strides so hopefully TV's are introduced with higher refresh rate and at a reasonable price.

Monitor prices have gone absurd. People can easily buy a 50"+ 4K tv for much much less money than what it costs to buy a higher refresh rate 1440p monitor, let alone 4k.

That's the thing, I know the elitists will say a tv is not a monitor with refresh rates, hz etc. but it also is not the year 2000 when TV vs monitor tech was hugely different and tv's were inferior.

Honestly my TV looks fantastic in 4k, colours are briliant. It was an expensive tv when bought to be fair and regretted not getting an LG OLED instead (but was told not to by Richer sounds back then sigh...) but to the point i enjoy this more than my monitors. New monitor 34inch wide was £280ish so not high spec, but a few more and that gets you a 4k 43inch tv! I am no pro gamer, and most of the staff i play are single player games, with the odd Dota2 (random games with random ppl), so not high needs.

But putting my pc on the 4k tv also has shown me how 2xvega 56 was a waste of money sigh. Crossfire sucks big time even on games that support it the tearing if that is the word for it is horrendous.

Wide adoption of HDMI 2.1, 120Hz and adaptive frame rate please :-)

desperately need AMD to come through on 2080ti competitor but I wonder if we would see 2080ti super being released.

An AMD 2080Ti competitor would be nice for those who don’t have a 2080Ti already.

Can’t see the point in a 2080Ti Super though unless they OC really well as a standard 2080Ti and OC would no doubt match it at stock.

When buying a TV, i always stay a generation behind for this very reason. Yes it looks fantastic but you pay through the absolute nose for it, and like you say, there isnt any content.

AMD 2080ti competitor would be an industry shaker because we haven't seen something at that level from amd in ages.

I want so much but cannot justify the 2080ti price, it is too much, and I know that we need more power so in a few months it will be or should I say should become obsolete as more and more people will want 120hz 4k eyecandy.

Just can't wait for next gen gpus to come, the RTX generation in my mind was too overpriced for not much offering compared to the generation it superseded in the end not many games support Raytracing, and those that do need a beast of gpu anyway and lose fps.

Any AMD 2080Ti competitor will still be £800+ as AMD will be able to sell them.

True and based on AMDs momentum I am sure they will put a high price as well as they don't want to be considered the poor man's brand.

But competition is key and this is why 2080ti in the first place is stupidly expensive. Its a shame that its a trend with new technology though the latest years. I miss the days of the 8800GTS or 970GTX pricing.

Indeed, you end up finding that like cars TV's seem to drop about 50% or so after a year generally to make room for new models. Look up last years models during Black Friday/Cyber Mondays and you are generally pretty golden in getting a deal.

How can the next gen consoles massively benefit? Upscaling reduces quality, it doesn't improve it. A really good upscaler can prevent a noticeable loss in quality.

AMD shouldn't waste their resource on a 2080ti competitor, they need a 2080ti outperformer. Any toe to toe comparison will just result in a price drop from Nvidia, and it's pointless. This is how AMD have taken Intel on; better price and a better product in terms of multicore options.
