madVR Envy: 10 CEDIA Awards 🏆 and Product News

🎉 A CEDIA to Remember: 10 Awards for Envy

Wow. We’re still catching our breath from CEDIA 2025. This year’s show was one of the most memorable in madVR Labs’ history, and we want to take a moment to share it with you.

With nearly 20 Envy Extremes used at the show, including some last-minute additions to support our partners, the Envy was everywhere you looked — powering demos, headlining theaters, and helping our industry friends put on their very best presentations. 

The big news: Envy was honored with 10 awards at the show. We hear that may be close to an industry record, but more importantly, it’s something we’re deeply grateful for — recognition from press, integrators, and enthusiasts across the board.

Here’s the rundown on the Envy Core MK2 awards:

  • 🏆 CEDIA Smart Home Awards – 2025 Global Best New Hardware Product Award
  • 🏆 TWICE – CEDIA 2025 Best Of Show
  • 🏆 Residential Systems – CEDIA 2025 Best Of Show
  • 🏆 Projector Central – CEDIA 2025 Best Of Show
  • 🏆 AVS Forum – CEDIA 2025 Best Of Show
  • 🏆 Residential Tech Today – Innovation Award
  • 🏆 Projector Reviews – Hot Product Award
  • 🏆 AV Nirvana – CEDIA 2025 Best Of Show
  • 🏆 CE Pro – BEST Product Award
  • 🏆 AVS Forum – Best Demo Room (SR7) along with our partners Seymour Screen Excellence, StormAudio, Christie Digital, ASCENDO, Moovia, Panamorph and Simplified Acoustics. Congratulations to all partners and all CEDIA award winners. 

The main focus was on the newly announced Envy Core MK2 8K and Envy Extreme MK3. Between their upgraded GPUs, full 48 Gbps HDMI 2.1 input/output, new gaming modes with VRR up to 360Hz output, Dynamic Subtitle Overlayℱ, and our ongoing focus on ease of use and integration, the new models are resonating strongly with the market.

But at the end of the day, the Envy is only part of the story. What really made CEDIA special was connecting with so many of you — hearing your feedback, answering questions, and seeing the excitement first-hand in demo rooms across the show floor.

From all of us at madVR Labs: thank you. These awards aren’t just about Envy. They’re about the community of integrators, dealers, partners, and enthusiasts who continue to support and push us forward.

Here’s to an amazing rest of the year ahead. 🚀
