Nvidia (6PM PT / 9PM ET)

Last year, Nvidia made car integration a big part of its showcase, and it looks like the company will again play up its "digital cockpits" and autonomous driving.

Watch live at Nvidia's website. Follow along with our Nvidia live blog

Faraday Future (8PM PT / 11PM ET)

The very-secretive car company has made an equally vague teaser trailer for this week's press conference. Here's what we know: it'll unveil a "concept inspired by our design and engineering vision" — and that's about it.

Ford (7:30AM PT / 10:30AM ET)

Rumor has it Ford will announce a self-driving car initiative with Google this week — that, or they'll spend an hour playing Forza 6 with the "official show vehicle" of CES.

Watch live at CNET

LG (8AM PT / 11AM ET)

One of the show's behemoths will be here with what we can only assume will be phones, TVs, and weird takes on everyday appliances.

Watch live at LG's website

Panasonic (10AM PT / 1PM ET)

"A Better Life, A Better World" — that's the "brand promise" and theme for Panasonic at the show this week. So... probably TVs and cameras.

Watch live at CNET

Qualcomm (12PM PT / 3PM ET)

A teaser for Qualcomm's new Snapdragon Flight chipset had a drone dodging obstacles and capturing 4K video. If there isn't a live demo, Qualcomm has seriously screwed up.

Casio (12PM PT / 3PM ET)

The Casio of CES 2015 was notable for watches, cameras, and a DJ controller that looked vaguely like the Millennium Falcon in certain lights. You can expect at least two out of three of those this year.

Samsung (2PM PT / 5PM ET)

All roads lead to fridge.

Watch live at Samsung's website

Sony (5PM PT / 8PM ET)

Previous Sony CES press conferences have featured drop-ins from the likes of Will Smith, Taylor Swift, Kelly Clarkson, Usher, and Dr. Oz. I mean, yes, there will probably be gadgets, too — including (hopefully) some virtual reality — but what about the star power?

Watch live on Ustream

Intel keynote (6:30PM PT / 9:30PM ET)

Last year's Intel keynote was among the best, offering a glimpse at the future (according to Intel) and a dash of humor. We're not much closer to the future Intel promised, but another round of pontificating should be fun nonetheless.

Watch live at Intel's website

Volkswagen (8:30PM PT / 11:30PM ET)

Odds are pretty good VW will at least mention the emission scandal — but then quickly shift gears for a new Microbus. Microbus!

Netflix (9AM PT / 12PM ET)

Reed Hastings is on deck to give a CES keynote this year, and I wouldn't be surprised if Kevin Spacey shows up to drop some brand-evangelizing snark in a conspicuously pointed Southern drawl.

[DMczaf]

Got my badge, hitting up the show on Wednesday maybe.

 

[Epix]

I usually go every year, kinda bummed I'll be missing it this year. Looks like some good stuff coming...

 

[Chris R]

Sucks I'll miss the nVidia show this year, but then again that means I can skip all the car BS and get just the good stuff when I watch the highlights.

 

[Moonkeis]

Looking forward to the VR madness, I'll be going on Thursday.

 

[Funky Papa]

I usually go every year, kinda bummed I'll be missing it this year. Looks like some good stuff coming...

I'm not.

Show has been on a death spiral for the past two years or so as far as product goes.

 

[Chanser]

Don't watch the Nvidia live stream, the last 2 years were not worth it.

 

[BoboBrazil]

Biggest thing to come out of this show is the new TV lineup reveal for Samsung, LG, and Sony so that is what I'll be looking forward to. Hope HDR support is on more sets because I want to dip into 4k bluray this year.

 

[Bsigg12]

Really excited for the impressions for everything VR. From the eye tracking to the Infinadeck, can't wait to read impressions of everything.

 

[ShaoranWright]

What I want from this CES:

OLED everywhere
VR
Soundbars capable of delivering Dolby Atmos surround sound, because I want to replace my current 5.1 system.

And I agree, Nvidia streams are always boring and not worth the time.

 

[The Dutch Slayer]

Giant OLED please come down in price already
Its still so expensive!

 

[Aesthet1c]

Moving to a new house in March and buying a new TV with it. Hoping whatever Samsung reveals tomorrow will be available by then.

 

[Epix]

I'm really hoping someone shows a moderately (<$5k) priced 4k projector with HDR. Snatch one in a heartbeat.

how is HDR on projectors even possible?

 

[MrJames]

UHD Alliance conference is tonight at 7PM PT and Hisense is tomorrow at 1PM. Both should be interesting if you're looking at a TV for 2016.

Soundbars capable of delivering Dolby Atmos surround sound, because I want to replace my current 5.1 system.

Samsung just announced this.

how is HDR on projectors even possible?

Laser projection. Sony announced one at Cedia but way more than $5K.

 

[subrock]

Stoked to laugh at Faraday Future's presser tonight. I just have about 0 faith that they will ever get anything successful to market. That leaked concept is a joke.

 

[Future]

Recently bought an Amazon echo and got one wifi outlet switch. Talking I the echo to turn off the lights has sold me on the Internet of things. Actually pretty excited to automate my home this year!

 

[Mattlikewhoa]

True 4K projectors under $10K please...

Spoiler

Please?

 

[Raticus79]

The VR reveals will be crazy. Looking forward to finding out what the Vive secret sauce tech was.

Edit: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1166367

Aww

 

[jellies_two]

CES late registration has been a nightmare for me, zero customer service I mean zero: infinite hold times, no way to get anything hustled through. My badge is in limbo. I fully expect not to get it processed until too late, at this rate.

Are guest passes a thing? Should I even bother hitting up some hardware makers for a favor?

 

[Dead]

Just anounce UHD BRD release date

My 4K OLED is ready

Seriously, wasn't 4K blu-ray supposed to already be out?

 

[gcubed]

the secret sauce will be HTC trying to figure out how to manufacture them

 

[Jigolo]

Excited for tomorrow. I hope we get more OLED things

So how long until the scandal where they promised you 4 tires on your car but you only really have 3 and a half.

 

[davidwhangchoi]

aw yeah, want some cheap OLED's

 

[RandomExpletive]

They'll give you 4 tires, but that last half of the tire is only gonna spin so fast

This is actually fascinating.

 

[dity]

I am excited to see all the electronics I cannot afford. Subbed.

 

[Kinitari]

Woah, just showed off driving in snow - as far as I understand, big deal

 

[mmazurkiewicz]

whats a good site to follow thats not engadget or the verge?

engadget is done for me since they went all verge a few weeks back.

When is HTCVIVE?

 

[wachie]

When is HTCVIVE?

VR headset

 

[Bsigg12]

When is HTCVIVE?

Probably Wednesday once the show floor opens. I don't think HTC has a conference at CES since the major thing they would be talking about is Vive and all their flagship phone stuff is saved for Mobile World Congress in February.

 

[PeakPointMatrix]

Anticipating Wacom announcing a new Cintiq Companion, I'm in the market for a portable drawing tablet.

How similar is the mathematics needed for computer graphics and computer vision? I suppose this actually makes a lot of sense.

...

Comparing the size and cost of entire laptops against a processor is maybe a bit silly...

 

[Darryl M R]

Did nvidia show off their new gpu [for PC and not cars]? If not, will they show it off this week?

 

[Bsigg12]

No, and probably not.

 

[GraceflAnger]

Flying out tomorrow! This is going to be my first CES and I can't wait to see all the new tech coming out!

 

[deadlast]

Come on oled monitors and 32 in tvs. That's all I want.

 

[Demise]

I hope for you that your screen has a Hdmi2.0a port, if not your tv won't be able to play them.

Glad I didn't buy a 4KTV yet lol

 

[dity]

I still have a 1080p Full HD TV. I got no idea when it's gonna be a good time to upgrade.

I'm actually okay with this, but I don't expect the average consumer to understand it.

 

[BlackLagoon]

Is there any hope that any of the presentations will be as amazing as the 2013 Qualcomm "Born Mobile" shitshow?

 

[wachie]

Glad I didn't buy a 4KTV yet lol

Same here. Feel bad for the early adopters.

 

[exmachina64]

Dear God, that was a painful show.
