    BFGD gaming displays

    Nvidia took to the stage at CES to introduce big format gaming displays, otherwise known as BFGDs.

    A kind of display format which professional gamers are likely to take a keen interest in, BFGDs -- created in conjunction with partners including HP, ASUS, and Acer -- are 65-inch models with 4K 120Hz HDR displays, Nvidia G-SYNC, the Nvidia Shield streaming service, as well as variable refresh rate technologies.

    HP has already announced its version of a BFG screen, the $5000 HP Omen X Emperium, and more vendors are expected to follow suit in coming days.

    Samsung's 219-inch The Wall display

    Samsung Electronics took to the stage at CES to showcase both 75 and 219-inch versions of "The Wall;" featuring a MicroLED modular display made up of microscopic red, green and blue led chips designed to vastly improve standard display qualities that we are used to seeing today.

    A 164-inch singular model was showcased last year but according to Samsung, improvements in semiconductor packaging has allowed the company to both increase and shrink displays from the original size.

    Zoetic's Kiki

    Zoetic's Kiki appeared at CES this year. The rather cute robot assistant, compatible with both Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, could be considered a modern version of the Tamagotchi: love it, and it loves you back.

    The robot is described as a pet that enjoys interaction, cuddles, and being carried around. A collection of sensors, a microphone, app integration, camera, and 360-degree motors allow it to interact with its owner -- and every action builds a collection of data which shapes Kiki's personality.
