From the extreme of the 65 inch TV display, CES also exhibited a screen that is no bigger than a half an inch wide but which promises to pack a cinematic punch.
The technology is embedded in a pair of glasses that plugs into a smartphone or laptop.
The UK's Cambridge Display Technology is behind the Vuzix specs. It said they are "energy miserly" which means they are not a drain on devices and can last for hours.
Chairman and chief executive David Fyfe said Vuzix signals a new way of watching video content.
"These glasses will plug into a cellphone that's playing streaming video and it will be like watching a 32 inch TV in front of your eyes.
"And all of that is from a screen that is less than a half an inch wide and less than a quarter of an inch deep."
The technology behind the glasses is called organic light emitting diode or OLED, a cutting edge technology that does not need a blacklight to work and can therefore be made much thinner than an LCD panel.
Mr Fyfe said the Vuzix experience is much more immersive than old fashioned TV and reckons they will be a boon to travellers and the so called "road warrior" who works on the road.
"This is a fantastic way of carrying a very small piece of equipment with you and getting an almost cinema like experience."
