The CE Week TV Shootout is an annual event that pits the flagship TVs from leading manufacturers against each other to identify the top performers. In 2017 the event has been refined to award the top performers in three distinct categories: Studio Lighting/Home Theater, HDR, and Streaming Performance. Judges rate each TV based on several criteria including, perceived contrast ratio, color saturation and color volume, colorimetry, and motion artifacts, amongst others. To ensure an equal playing field for all manufactures every TV in the shootout was purchased at retail, calibrated independently by TV Shootout organizers Joel Silver (founder of ISF) and Kevin Miller; and evaluated by experts in the field of video imaging.
