"Mark,
I’m rethinking a few details and we are likely to follow our 2013 decision to mix 1080p with Ultra HD and just like we have done each year is to have the same event repeated over two days. The attendees, press and special VIP guests vary each night so presenters, in attendance and on-line Q&A and we just seem to always do a better job on the second night, but the core agenda is the same for each of the two days.
At this moment here’s the list that’s 99% in the event:
1080p, Full HD
Samsung PN64F8500 PDP
Sharp LC-70UQ17U
1080p models that are likely to be included in the list of contestants, but not finalized:
Sony KDL-65W950B
Samsung UN65H8000
LG 65LB7100
4K, Ultra HD
Sony X950B Direct LED, locally dimmed
Samsung HU8550 Edge LED, locally dimmed
Samsung HU9000 Edge LED, locally dimmed
LG UB9800 Edge LED, locally dimmed
Toshiba 65L9400U Direct LED, locally dimmed
If available, we’ll definitely include LG’s 65” or 77” EC9800 4K OLED TVs. I’m not prepared to answer to Vizio or Panasonic at this moment, but look forward to updating and finalizing everything very shortly.
The date is still undecided, but we’re trying for July 19-20th.
I love reading all of the posts and one or two emails and a few anonymous phone calls. In particular thanks to fafrd for pointing out some one year old obsolete text on my website, which I fixed.
Finally, I have a few great new special guests and some very very cool ideas that I’d love to leak, but can’t do yet. My company, our panel of experts, videographer, all of our behind the scene vendors and humans and myself are deeply committed and focused on making this the best and most accurate display evaluation of the highest-end premium TVs available each year from the finest premium manufacturers. All comments are gratefully considered and appreciated!" - Robert Zohn
