LG also announced they'll be launching 7 different 4K OLED TV's this year including flexible, curved and flat models from 55" to 77". Also in LG's conference they released plans of a washing machine.. that let's you do two washes at once.

The LG G Flex 2 was also revealed which is their second attempt at making a curved smartphone, but this time they've increased the specs as well as a 5.5 inch P-OLED screen.

Panasonic reveals plans of a 'smart mirror' which is supposed to preview how your make-up will look. The president (panasonics, that is) said 'The virtual mirror is not a gimmick' so will be interesting to see how that turns out.

Panasonic also revealed that their TV's will make use of Firefox's operating system, these TV's include the 85" 4K display with touchscreen functionality that multiple people can use simultaneously. They've also revealed a Blu-ray player capable of playing native 4K and HDR content. Four new 4K TV's running Mozilla Firefox OS.

Samsung started off their presentation by showing off the Portable SSD T-1

You've missed out Samsung. Their portable SSD looked pretty cool.

Generally, CES has become gradually worse each year, with mobile phones being launched at separate events (Apple-esque, dare I say). Still some pretty awesome Consumer Electronics though, I have this weird fascination with smart kitchen appliances.

EDIT: Woops, you didn't miss Samsung, just missed the header :P

oh ffs mdport.; can you move this to tech or someone else I thought I posted it in tech

and yeah MyChemicalRomance; with more companies having their own conference they'll release their major stuff through them typically rather than CES.
