It’s that time of year again! The dust is starting to settle on CES 2023, so here’s our annual round-up of some of the big television announcements we’ve seen. As usual, we’re turning to 24i’s Smart TV guru, Matthijs Langendijk for his expert insight into what’s new in the world of SmartTV, which innovations we can expect to enjoy in our homes sometime soon, and what was the biggest standout from CES 2023 for the field of video streaming.
Roku enters the TV market in its own right
Arguably the biggest announcement in terms of impact on the market has to be Roku’s plan to launch its own range of TVs. Until now, they have relied on their own streaming sticks and third-party televisions that rock Roku’s OS but are made by brands like TCL, Hisense, and Sharp. With this announcement at CES, Roku is joining the likes of Samsung and LG; taking full control over both the physical TVs and the OS running on them.
