PRIVATE DEMO of Glass Speaker TV

The video opens with a shout out to AMD and quickly moves to a tour of Sony at CES 2017, highlighting a display technology called Cletus, which is built from a modular array of panels and driven by two Cletus brains. The presenter explains that this modular approach enables a seamless image with extremely deep blacks, since almost the entire display area is black and each pixel is a tiny RGB LED, while the rest of the surface remains black. He demonstrates the effect by describing how approaching the display makes the image disappear and then reappear as you move away, underscoring the perceived infinity of the black levels. The discussion then shifts to the A1 Bravia OLED TV, emphasizing no compromises on viewing experience, the separate OLED processing engine, and a bezel-less design that even removes the Sony logo to maximize screen presence. A notable twist is the claim of no integrated speaker by using the glass surface itself as the sound source, with dual vibrating actuators on the sides and a base subwoofer, enabling sound to appear to originate from the image itself. A side-by-side comparison with a high-end integrated soundbar TV highlights a dramatic difference in sound realism, and the presenter concludes with praise for the tech and a plug for AMD Vega, Ryzen, and Vega architecture while teasing more coverage linked in the description. The overall tone blends awe at the engineering with practical notes on how these features might translate to real living room use, including the potential for high refresh rates and minimal bezels to fit modern interiors.
