What to expect from CEDIA Expo, the hottest home entertainment show of 2013

Add as a preferred source on Google

CEDIA is not your typical electronics expo, and that’s a really good thing. CEDIA is a show built for the people who put the coolest technology on the planet into real people’s homes. The show is aimed at professional installers and custom integrators with the smarts and the know-how needed to take a thousand little parts, get them all talking to each other, and make everything work like magic.

At CEDIA, you won’t find multiple rows of vendors showing off a million different iPad cases, or the 6.3-inch version of the 6.1-inch Phablet that was just launched two months ago. What you will find are weather-proof HDTV’s that can take a beating, 4K video walls, the latest high-performance A/V components, and some of the craziest home entertainment stuff you’ve never heard of.

That’s why Digital Trends is in Denver, Colorado, for CEDIA 2013, which kicks off today. We’re going to get you up close and personal with the technologies that are designed to make your life easier and a whole lot more fun. This year, we expect some big news and new products from the likes of Sony, Bang and Olufsen, Sunbrite TV, Paradigm, JVC, and LG. Plan to see a lot of 4K everything, the newest A/V receivers, more sound bars than you can shake a stick at, wireless audio systems, and the latest in whole-home control (we’re pretty sure tablets and smart phones will be involved). 

Check back later today for our coverage of the CEDIA Media Preview event, where we’ll get an early look at the things to come later this week.

I desperately want a new classic Walkman, but Sony probably can’t give me one
Tech minimalism is begging for a new Walkman. Though rebuilding it may be close to impossible
Sony Walkman WM2011

Every few months, another piece of tech that seems obsolete crawls out of a drawer and becomes cool again. The age of minimalism has revived the popularity of iPods among younger buyers. Dumbphones have become an escape hatch from endless notifications. Similarly, digital cameras are dangling from bags again. Physical media keeps attracting people who want something they can actually hold instead of another frustrating subscription.

All of this makes it the perfect time for Sony to bring back the classic Walkman, which was a phenomenon during the 80s and 90s. I would love one. Give me a compact cassette player, physical buttons, and wired headphones. Keep the apps, notifications, and algorithms that shape your taste of music. No more AI assistants or personalzied feeds, just you and your Walkman. There is only one problem though. Recreating the Walkman that people love and remember, would be far harder than putting an old design back into production.

Proton reveals how smart TVs track you and the escape situation is pretty grim 
Modern smart TVs fingerprint your screen content at the chipset level.

Your smart TV may know far more about your viewing habits than you realize, even if you rarely use its smart features. In a new privacy explainer, Proton warns that many modern TVs quietly collect data about everything displayed on the screen and share it with manufacturers, advertisers, and analytics companies.

The worrying part is that escaping this tracking is becoming increasingly difficult because many privacy controls are buried deep in settings or enabled by default. Proton argues that buying a smart TV today often means accepting a level of surveillance that most people never knowingly signed up for.

LG is cracking down on smart TV apps that quietly turn your TV into a secret proxy
LG OLED Settings

If you own an LG smart TV, there's a chance one of your harmless-looking apps has been moonlighting as an internet relay for someone else's traffic. According to a report from KrebsOnSecurity, LG says it's finally stepping in to stop this menace. This week, the company confirmed it plans to suspend any webOS app that turns a TV into what's called a residential proxy node.

The move follows a report from security firm Spur, which found that more than 42 percent of apps on LG's webOS store include SDKs that quietly reroute internet traffic through your TV, indefinitely. Samsung isn't spared either, with over a quarter of Tizen apps carrying similar code.
