CES 2026 officially opens its doors in Las Vegas officially on Jan. 6, but CNET is already on the ground for this year's massive tech convention.

Early announcements arriving just ahead of the official convention start include new TVs like the LG W6 Wallpaper TV that's just 9mm (0.35 inches) thick, the Sweekar AI pet that physically grows as you play with it, Samsung's 130-inch micro RGB TV that the company calls the "world's largest" and Qualcomm-powered robots that can literally bend over backwards. CNET will be combing through it all, leading up to the CNET Group choosing the official best of CES 2026 awards on Wednesday morning.

The future's so bright you're not going to escape it with these HDR display glasses. The RayNeo Air Pro 4 is one of the first models to incorporate the super-bright micro-OLED panels, which can hit up to 1,200 nits. Even if it's just a 1% window where it peaks (that's just my guess), it's close to your eyeballs and filling a lot of your field of view. 

Scott Stein had eyes-on time with these vivid, in-your-face displays and other new tech, so check out his coverage.

Nvidia's press conference at CES 2026 is underway, with CEO Jensen Huang. Until recently, Nvidia was best known for its graphics cards and the GeForce Now game streaming service. Today's conference, however, is expected to focus on Nvidia's incredibly profitable AI efforts, with the company's YouTube channel stating that part of the conference will include a panel on AI.

In addition to Nvidia's own channel, its press conference is also streaming on CNET's YouTube channel.
