EAGLE EYE VIEW CES 2025
CONTINUED
integrated into notebooks from the likes of Acer, ASUS, Dell, HP and Lenovo. Although this is exciting, we must not overlook its competitors – especially AMD, which revealed its next generation of graphics cards in the RX 9070 XT. Not much is known about this series, but the naming seems to be in competition with NVIDIA’s own new releases. Once this gets into the hands of reviewers, public benchmarks can be established, and we can report back about how these two beasts of the industry compare. Monitors and displays If you want to create a futuristic office, you need to move away from clunky displays and transition to sleek, unintrusive screens. One big challenge in this transition is hiding wiring – unless if you are the Displace TV. Calling itself the world’s first truly wireless TV, it looks impressive when mounted, but the moment its battery gets low, it apparently secretes an adhesive fluid to stay sticking to the wall… we can only hope they improve on this design. If you are interested in a more established contender, you might want to keep your eye on LG, which revealed its G5 and M5 OLED TV models that aim to
set the benchmark for premium wireless and AI-driven TVs in 2025, running on their new Alpha 11 Gen 2 processor. Another long-established player in the market that came back to make its mark (albeit much less sticky than Displace’s) was Panasonic, which revealed its Z95B OLED. Competition among OLED TVs this year will be fierce. An exciting monitor to look out for will be the ASUS ROG Swift OLED PG27UCDM – one of the first 4K gaming monitors. If you want super sharp visuals and crisp text, this fourth generation of QD-OLED technology should at the top of your wish list. Smart and secure Smart home systems are a staple of CES, and this year smart home locks were one of the highlights. Lockly being one, bringing us a locking system that unlocks whenever your smart phone is approaching it. Fancy a palm reading? If you truly want futuristic, TCL Smart Lock D1 Pro with AI palm vein recognition might excite you. You can unlock this smart lock by just pointing your palm at its interface. This feels like a classical tech innovation, like something Q would dream up for MI5 headquarters.

The second quarter of the 21st century With 2025, we enter the second quarter of this century, and along with it, we can expect some futuristic new types of devices to start appearing. We hope that the following examples from the CES show floor will reach the mainstream, but currently don’t have wide consumer or enterprise adoption:
Smart glasses Such as Rokid , offering AR that fits in sleekly with everyday life Humanoid robotics Is this the next era of AI innovation?
Switchbot Modular, target your specific household chores. Razr project Arielle Fanless heating/cooling gaming chair
Xpeng AeroHT While we don’t expect this to ship in the channel just yet, it does beckon to an interesting upcoming age of personal flight travel.
