Most of the new TVs I saw last week at CES are actually coming to market in 2017, but some of the coolest won’t be available for sale. Unless you’re an airport, a fast-food restaurant or a jewelry store with a penchant for flashy signage. The epicenter of display coolness was the white-walled, private booth …

New year, new phone. At least that’s the gist of a recently posted video on LG’s YouTube channel, which teases its next flagship device — you know, the one with everything that people want in a phone (or so says LG). The video ends with the launch month: February 2017. Do we think this is the LG G6 bound for …

Tall, small, dancing, singing, cleaning, sassy, silly, cute and scary — CES 2017 was awash with robots. While there are the obvious ones like the humanoid “Pepper,” exhibits at the colossal electronics show stretched the definition of a robot to include Amazon Echo-like hubs that featured glowing eyes or that bobbed to music. You can thank Amazon’s Alexa voice assistant …

LG’s “wallpaper” W7 was the coolest TV that debuted at CES 2017 in my book.

CES 2017 is over, and now we know all about the year’s newest, biggest sets. I saw many, many inches of screen real estate, all of it in 4K resolution and most …

CES 2017 has been a whirlwind of gadgets, cars and Alexa-integrated appliances. If you can’t be in Las Vegas to take it all in — and trust me, it’s a lot to absorb — there’s no better way to experience the tech of today, tomorrow and possibly never than through video. For the armchair attendee, the CNET TV has spent …

Now playing: Watch this: Robots everywhere at CES 2017 19:07 CES 2017 will always be remembered as the show where we met our future robot overlords — and were foolishly disarmed by how darn cute they were. Even when, back in December, we predicted the robots were coming, we didn’t realize quite how many bots we would encounter. The droids …

LG is backing away from what made its previous top-of-the-line phone unique. The company last year launched the G5, which ventured off the beaten path of phone design: Owners could swap out its bottom “chin” for other parts that added a camera grip or a souped-up speaker. In a sea of similar-looking phones, LG hoped that its unusual approach would …
