  This fall promises to deliver some of the most anticipated consumer electronics to market in many years. After so many years in development and so many teases, big screen OLED TVs are finally arriving. This is a truly revolutionary TV technology that will hopefully quickly make its way into just about all devices with screens. It maybe a couple more years before the prices of big screen OLED TVs come down to a more reasonable price point and I certainly can't wait to set one up in my living room. 4K Ultra HD TV technology is of course the other hot topic this year. Many TV manufacturers already have their latest 4K sets on the store shelves and numerous new models will be released this fall/winter. Malcolm Gomes examines both these technologies in this very issue.

Whether you're a casual or hardcore video gamer, you probably already know that both Sony and Microsoft will be releasing their next generation gaming consoles this November. The next generation games and graphics should be pretty spectacular. I know I'll be picking up one of the new consoles for sure, maybe even both.

Finally, I would like to invite all CANADA HiFi readers to the upcoming Toronto Audio Video Entertainment Show (TAVES) this November 1-3. TAVES 2013 is shaping up to be the best edition of the show yet and I sincerely hope most of you can come to check it out. You'll be able to see demonstrations of all of the products and tech mentioned above and so much more. The only device that had not been confirmed for launch at the show is the Xbox One (as of this writing .. but hopefully that will happen too). To learn all the details about TAVES 2013, please read the featured article I wrote on page 12 of this issue. For an audio video enthusiast, the show should be a blast!
