CES 2018:

The biggest highlights from the Vegas tech show

Since 1998 has been held in the Las Vegas Convention Center, Nevada.

TOP 1.

Samsung's Galaxy A8

Samsung, it seems, has wanted to get its phone launches in early. Not only are we getting the Galaxy S9 at MWC this year, the firm has also announced the slightly more mid-range Galaxy A8. Not only is it the first of Samsung's handsets to come equipped with an all-display front, but it should also undercut this year's flagships, too. They key word there is should, because Samsung hasn't announced the price just yet.

OUR pick:

LG Display's 65-inch TV rolls up like wrapping paper

Flexible screens have been popping up at the technology show for the past few years. Although curved televisions haven't taken off, the technology could be put to better use in something like this.

Any company that uses the technology can decide how to best hide the display when its off. It could be part of a coffee table or hidden in a ceiling.

LG Display also debuted an 88-inch 8K television with an OLED display. The incredibly high-resolution 8K displays aren't mainstream here yet, and there's a dearth of 8k content to even show on them, but LG Displays is getting ready for the future.

LG Display showed off an updated version of its "crystal sound" 65-inch prototype, which plays sound directly from the parts of the screen where the events are happening. So you'll hear a person yelling on the left, a car crashing on the right, or a hawk flapping its wings above.
