CES 2025 will see participation from over 300 Fortune 500 companies and representatives from 158 countries. The Las Vegas Convention Center (LVCC) and Venetian Expo will host exhibits spanning televisions, projectors, sound systems, gaming peripherals, and even experimental tech like bendable displays and transparent screens.

Beyond the predictable upgrades, CES is known for showcasing experimental and futuristic technology. Transparent TVs, bendable displays, and AI-driven devices will likely make headlines, offering a glimpse into what the future of consumer electronics could hold.
ASUS’s 27-inch OLED gaming monitor and NVIDIA’s rumored RTX graphics cards could appeal to PC gamers, while smartphone and tablet enthusiasts might find TCL’s NXTPAPER upgrades intriguing.
