Why There Is No Need To Buy New TVs Shown at CES 2015 (video)
CES 2015: Don't Buy the New TV's Shown at CES -
Televisions are historically the most overhyped product category at CES, and 2015 is no different.

Bloomberg's Sam Grobart isn't quite sure. (Bloomberg, Jan 7, 2015)

Google disintermediates TV industry with $35 Chromecast
Who needs cable TV? Who needs Roku? Just get a $35 Chromecast!
http://www.google.com/intl/en/chrome/devices/chromecast/#netflix
http://developers.google.com/cast/
Chromecast Is Google's Miracle Device | Gadget Lab | Wired.com: "At an event where everyone was expecting a new Android tablet ( and got one) Google announced something far more interesting and important: The Chromecast, a small stick that jacks into the back of your television via HDMI and allows you to sling content via Wi-Fi from your phone, tablet or computer to the big screen. It costs $35, and comes with three months of free Netflix (even for existing subscribers), which means it effectively costs $11 plus shipping. On paper at least, it’s the best device Google has ever announced. Chromecast is delightfully cross-platform. It works with Android and iOS phones and tablets, Chromebooks, and the Chrome browser for Mac and Windows. The original device controls playback–so if you want to turn up the volume on your TV, simply turn up the volume on your phone. Any program that uses the Googlecast SDK can send content–Google specifically mentioned Netflix and YouTube, and says Pandora is on the way. The Chrome browser itself can also sling content via “Chrome tab projection.”. . . ."
