Definition: consumer electronics
A broad field of electronics that includes devices such as TVs, VCRs, radios, walkie-talkies, hi-fi stereo, home theater, handheld and software-based games as well as Internet appliances. It implies that people are purchasing these products for casual use and entertainment rather than professional use. However, each year, consumer electronics (CE) become as sophisticated as yesteryear's professional gear. See CE quality, CES and consumer.
