Badass Sony Projector & TV Technology. Seriously BA - CES 2015

The video provides an on-the-floor look at Sony’s advanced display technologies introduced around CES 2015, highlighting both a high-end laser projection setup and a super-thin Android-powered TV. Early on, the host demonstrates a 4K laser projector system dubbed as part of a wall-sized display that actually projects from just seven inches away, producing a 147 inch image. The presenter explains the advantages of laser projection, including improved contrast, richer color, and resilience to ambient light, with a claimed lifespan of 50,000 hours before brightness diminishes. The setup is shown with two projectors feeding a large wall, and a tablet interface is demonstrated for content switching, underscoring applications beyond home theatres, such as art galleries. The discussion then pivots to Sony’s 900 Series TV, a remarkably slim 4K edge-lit LCD, which is described as 4.7 millimeters thick and designed for near-wall mounting using a stud-based hardware system that minimizes the visible gap. The host details cable management solutions and the integrated Android TV system, emphasizing the benefits of a standard operating system over custom, proprietary interfaces. There is a focus on Android TV’s responsiveness through the x1 processor, 16GB of storage, and the potential for quick access to streaming apps, with claims of going from zero to movie in under a minute. The discussion closes with reflections on the ease of use, cross-device control via mobile apps, and a nod to the value of standardized platforms for smart TVs, followed by sponsor shout-outs and encouragement to subscribe for more CES coverage.
