Smart televisions that utilize artificial intelligence (AI) have left their mark on this year's International Consumer Electronics Show, better known as CES.

The event in Las Vegas opened on Jan. 9 and televisions were at the forefront of the fair attended by more than 3,900 participants and nearly 170,000 visitors.

With the football World Cup ahead, all the major TV manufacturers chose CSE to unveil their latest line of large screens, many driven by AI, and their own content services.

Over the years the industry has pushed toward bigger screens and today's high-end TVs easily reach 100 inches or more. They are also made to easily hookup with smartphones and tablets.

In the 4K territory, 52-inch and 65-inch TVs are most popular. But, discussions on 8K are already making headlines.

Content services increase

Manufacturers trying to finalize their 2018 orders at the CES are hopeful ahead of the World Cup. According to Grand View Research, the 4K TV market is expected to be worth $380.9 billion in 2025.

The competition for content services in smart televisions is also getting hotter. A 35 percent increase in the revenue of content services in North America is acting as the motivating factor here.

With their individual products, South Korean LG and Samsung and China's Hisense have tried set themselves apart at the CES.

Turkish electronics makers Arçelik and Vestel are also looking to boost their exports as they showcase their products at the event.

Screens of 4K televisions get huge

For 4K TVs, the most preferred sizes are 52-inch and 65-inch. But buyers also look for Wi-Fi connections in order to access different content services on their TV sets. AI is also being used to improve user experience. At the same time, more and more people are using home theaters for a better audio experience and new generations of televisions can also communicate with other devices in a household.
