Where MSI does things a little different is through a feature called Night Vision, which sees the monitor adjusting dark areas of the screen individually to improve the picture. Other monitors would brighten the entire screen, which would see parts of the screen overexposed and would end up looking washed out.

First off, Filmmaker Mode is an interesting addition as it will be aimed at enthusiasts and cinephiles who want to watch their movie exactly how the director intended it, where it will disable any and all "soap opera" motion smoothing. Filmmaker Mode sees Panasonic's efforts making sure the correct color, aspect ratio and framerates are displayed.

Sony's new Z8H TV vibrates the frame of the TV to generate sound

Anthony Garreffa | Jan 6, 2020 10:00 PM CST

CES 2020 - Sony had quite a lot to show at CES 2020 with its new range of TVs, led by the flagship Z8H 8K LED -- but joined by the A9S 4K OLED, A8H 4K OLED, X950H 4K LED and X900H 4K LED TVs.

Sony's new Z8H TV vibrates the frame of the TV to generate sound

What impresses me the most about Sony's new flagship Z8H 8K LED is that not onyl does it have a native 7680 x 4320 (8K) panel, but it has a new Frame Tweeter technology. I know what you're thinking: "Sony, what the hell is Frame Tweeter technology?" and I'm here to report that it freaking vibrates the frame of the TV itself to generated sound... yeah, that's kinda awesome.

Sony adds onto the audio experience of the Z8H (and also the X950H) with its Sound-from-Picture-Reality feature that will provide owners with direction sound that is based on what is happening on-screen at the time. This is pretty kick ass on its own, without talking about the actual visuals and other technology inside of Sony's new TVs.
