The four-day CES 2012 (10-13 January 2012) is being held in Nevada, Las Vegas. A flurry of pre-show conferences and announcements gave a hint of what is to come this year. Here’s a quick round-up of televisions – a dynamic gadget frontier this year.
They will come smarter, bigger but thinner.
LG's stunning 55" OLED EM9600 measures only 4mm thick, thinner than a smartphone.
The most impressive offerings come from LG. It has unveiled its 55″ EM9600 measuring just 4mm thick – that’s thinner than a smartphone.
The organic light-emitting diode (OLED) system offers a ‘refresh-rate’ that is 1,000 times faster than most current sets – this means that moving images will appear much smoother.
The TV weights only 7.5kg.
LG will also be launching an 84” TV with ultra definition, as well as voice control remote controls, and a 3D gesture-control interface like that of Microsoft’s Xbox Kinect.
Samsung is pushing its 55" Super OLED TV, the ES 8000.
It’s Korean rivals, Samsung, is offering its flagship Super OLED TV – the ES8000.

Update (6 January 2012): The Omnia W will be available for purchase starting from 7 January.
Samsung Omnia W, available in Singapore on 7 Jaunuary at S$498 (incl GST, excl line contract).
First announced back in November last year, the Omnia W is the first smartphone from Samsung using Microsoft’s Windows Phone 7.5 Mango operating system.
I played with the phone during its launch yesterday together with two other smartphones (GALAXY Nexus and GALAXY W) and two tablets (GALAXY Tab 7.7 and GALAXY Tab 7.0 Plus).
The Omnia W uses Microsoft Windows Phone 7.5 Mango
The phone was fast and responsive and the interface reminded me of Nokia’s newly launched Lumia 800, which is also based on Windows Phone 7.5 Mango.
Samsung’s Omnia W has a sleek design with a metallic finish and a rich 3.7” Super AMOLED display, giving vivid clarity for photos and videos captured with the 5MP camera.
The latest Windows Phone version provides enhanced usability including superior web browsing with integration of Internet Explorer 9 and Bing, as well as Office Hub that provides productivity on-the-go.
The smartphone includes Samsung-exclusive productivity apps including Samsung AllShare that provides seamless content transfer between the smartphone and other DLNA-enabled devices such as HDTVs, monitors and digital cameras.
Here are the main technical specifications of the Omnia W.

The 7” tablet weights 345g and is 9.96mm thin. It is slightly smaller than its S$898 cousin – the GALAXY Tab 7.7.
Like its predecessor, it offers voice and video call support, without the need for a headset, allowing users to catch up with friends and family from anywhere.
Samsung is pitching this tablet as a portable tablet which not only fits in a lady’s handbag or a man’s clutch bag, but also doubles up as a backup phone.
If you don’t fancy holding up the tablet to the ear when making calls, use it with a pair of earphones or Bluetooth headset.
Here are the main technical specifications of the Samsung GALAXY Tab 7.0 Plus tablet.

Samsung today launched the GALAXY Tab 7.7, which will be available in Singapore in February 2012 at S$898 (incl GST).
Samsung GALAXY Tab 7.7. Will be available in Singapore in February 2012 at S$898 (incl GST).
I had a quick hands-on on the GALAXY Tab 7.7 during the launch event, which also saw the launch of four other Samsung tablets and smartphones.
The launch of the GALAXY Tab 7.7 and Tab 7.0 Plus continues Samsung’s strategy of providing the whole spectrum of sizes for the customer, instead of dictating which is the single best size that they should adopt.
I like that approach. Depending on my personal preference and use case, I can choose which size tablet to purchase, ranging from the largest GALAXY Tab 10.1, to the smaller Tab 8.9, Tab 7.7, Tab 7.0, Tab 7.0 Plus, 5.3” Note.
The Samsung GALAXY Tab 7.7 fits snugly in the dainty palms of ladies and their handbag.
The Android 3.2 Honeycomb tablet is a handful – just large enough to be held in one hand. With a 7.67” disuplay, it is slightly larger than the common 7” tablet form factor in the market but the difference is hardly noticeable.
The Samsung GALAXY Tab 7.7 is the world’s first tablet to feature the brilliant Super AMOLED Plus display technology that makes images look more vivid through a wider range of colours.
It is powered by a 1.4GHz dual core processor, and measures only 7.89 millimeters in thinness and 335 grams in weight.
Samsung’s Hub Services – Game Hub, Readers Hub and Social Hub – offers easy access to content including games, eBooks and music. The Game Hub is pre-loaded with easy social games with fast graphics.
Here are the main technical specifications of the Samsung GALAXY Tab 7.7 tablet.

I had a quick hands-on on the sleek looking smartphone. It felt really responsive and fast.
I was looking for glitches and bugs since it’s the first phone to feature the latest iteration of the Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich.
The GALAXY Nexus is the world's first Android 4.0 smartphone.
However, the phone didn’t miss a beat, even though I tried to load it with as many applications as I could on multi-tasking.
But then it’s only a short hands-on, so the verdict is still out.
First announced in November 2011, Samsung launched the GALAXY Nexus in Singapore as part of a line-up of 2 new tablets and 3 new smartphones to usher in the year.
The smartphone features a 4.65” HD Super AMOLED display at 720p resolution and a fast 1.2GHz dual core processor to take advantage of its enhanced multitasking capabilities.
A user interface has been redesigned with improved multi-tasking, notifications, Wi-Fi hotspot and NFC support, as well as a full web browsing experience
Designed to provide a “pure Google” experience, GALAXY Nexus will be the first to receive software upgrades and new applications as soon as they become available.
