CEA's CE Demo Days is a nationwide campaign to educate consumers about the latest consumer electronics products and encourage them to experience those products first hand at their local electronics retailer for an immersive viewing experience. CEA will host two Demo Days weekends this month, Friday through Sunday, June 21-23 and June 28-30. This year's Demo Days will focus on Ultra HD, 3DTV, connected TV, digital audio and accessories to enhance any home theater experience. "CEA Demo Days is an excellent opportunity for consumers to interact with the latest technologies for TV viewing, movie watching and music listening," said Kerry Moyer, senior director of member relations for CEA. "Go to your local electronics retailer, get a demonstration and get 'wowed!'" The next generation of high-definition display technology, Ultra HD is four times the resolution of today's high-definition televisions.
