One last topic before we officially stop talking about CES: TVs. At the show, it’s easy to get lost in the broad spectrum of products on display. Televisions, however, are impossible to miss. From the practical to the purely for show, screens of all resolutions, sizes, shapes and technologies were set up for viewing. Here’s a roundup of the television trends and innovations I saw this year:

If bigger is better, then the pair of Sharp 108” Aquos LCD displays at the entrance to the Sharp booth took the cake. The sets will ship this summer at a price yet unannounced. In light of a shifting market, Toshiba is dropping plasma technology in favor of the growing LCD market. Toshiba cites risk of burn-in and reflected light on retail floors for its weak sales in the plasma market. Meanwhile, Panasonic, the sales leader in plasma displays, hoped to restore some of the image of their screens with an expansive display highlighting the strengths of plasma over LCD.

Pioneer announced a complete re-engineering of its line of plasma displays, including a breakthrough that “establishes Pioneer plasma as the unbeatable picture quality leader, surpassing both LCD and SED regardless of lighting conditions.” The difference is so great that traditional methods of measuring the contrast ratio of a display can’t completely measure the performance of their new monitors. Pioneer expects to have the displays on the U.S. market this summer.

Microsoft is finally making good on their claim that the Xbox 360 would become an all-in-one media warehouse with the announcement of Windows’ IPTV. The service is a completely new edition of the Xbox 360 that will deliver TV, games, and movies over a broadband connection.
