The prestigious industry participants and CE Week setting will take this TV Shootout Evaluation to a new level.



The 11th Annual TV Shootout will involve:

  • The displays will be professionally calibrated to ensure they are all delivering their best performance and are all on an even playing field.
  • On Wednesday, June 24th, Rob Sabin, Editor-In-Chief of Sound & Vision magazine and soundandvision.com, will be a guest technical presenter, taking participants through the evaluation process and helping to explain today's newest technologies.
