- I have your exclusive sneak peek at CES 2019,
the world's largest Consumer Electronics Show,
in Las Vegas.

Hi, I'm the Deal Guy, Matt Granite,
and I love technology (mumbles).
I love you for watching.
No, I don't get out much, and yes,
I live for this one week in Las Vegas every year.
For those of you unfamiliar with CES 2019,
or what the Consumer Electronics Show is,
I'm gonna take you through the trends that you can expect.
Last year, I was the first reporter in the world
on the floor of CES.
Not because I'm so important, but because I kind of
snuck past security and had a camera crew with me.
The year before, I was invited to speak.
I was, I thought I was first,
I might have actually been second in the world there,
and then the year before I was first again,
mainly because I also snuck in.
But that's fine.
I'm going to be taking you along for a wild ride
at the Consumer Electronics Show this year,
but more importantly, what can we expect?
In addition to the deals that I hunt down
that you're used to seeing here,
make sure you are subscribed to my channel
so I could take you behind the scenes.
You're gonna see things on this channel
that you haven't seen anywhere else.
And I'm actually there.
A lot of the YouTubers just show clips of CES
from their basement, and I just don't think
that does justice to what we're going to do
coming up this week.
So what can you expect?
If you are gaming, facial recognition is going to
not only be a standard at CES 2019,
but it's gonna be incorporated into all sorts of products,
including drones every year,
actually in the years that I have been profiling
the Consumer Electronics Show,
drones have been present.
This year, I can't say they're gonna have increased
popularity, but with the facial technology
and some new ways to incorporate them into businesses,
there's gonna be less of a focus on drones
as something for the consumer,
and more on something for operations.
Now Virtual Reality, again,
more pronounced than ever before, tied to sports and gaming.
So VR is going to be (mumbles) when you take
the facial recognition, the VR, the AI,
you get a whole new building at CES this year
tied to robotics.
Now, robotics have always been a fundamental
of the Consumer Electronics Show,
even back from when CES debuted,
but this year, in addition to the robots
that are roaming the floor, we're gonna see robots
incorporated into the home with a focus on accessibility.
I remember when 4K TVs became a thing
at the Consumer Electronics Show,
and then I remember 8K TVs, and 16K TVs,
those are all things.
And this year, with 4K, a standard,
where you can get them anywhere on Black Friday
or Cyber Monday for 198 dollars for a 4K television,
4K is not really the standard anymore.
It's almost something that we have
that needs to be improved upon.
And television technology at CES 2019 is gonna be
in a league of its own.
From those beautiful TV caves that you can walk through
that you've seen me in before, where you're actually
walking through the world's largest television,
to the same type of screen technology
that you can use to recreate a home theater experience.
This year, in addition to the robots
and the drones, and the talking cars,
and the flying cars, there's going to be that focus
on mainstream technology.
Things for the average, everyday consumer.
And I think that's what has me excited.
Every year when I go to CES, I show technology
that's years away from actually being incorporated
into the modern-day smart home.
And it's awesome.
We can look at it and we can drool,
but we can't actually buy the products,
and what has me excited about televisions this year
is it's going to be attainable, it's gonna be accessible,
and with the deal links that I'm gonna find following CES,
it's all gonna be really affordable,
and I think that's what we need to do.
We need to make CES something that's fun,
exciting, but also accessible,
and I will be taking you along for the ride
to show you all the really cool products
that we won't get for a long time,
and then also the products we can buy
in the days that follow.
Wow, I'm doing a lot of hand gestures,
but that's what happens when I get excited.
So, please, make sure you are subscribed.
I really wanna hook you up.
And it's so much more fun when I go live from CES
and I know all of the people watching, or I know
a lot of the subscribers, and I can see your names
popping up and answering questions while I'm there,
it's a great way to save money on having to spend
flight costs or ticket costs out of your own wallet
when I can just hopefully be your eyes and ears.
But if you wanna come, and you're there,
please say hi to me, 'cause I have no friends.
Thank you for watching.
