TCL isn’t just about tech in 2017. Their new line of televisions include the C Series sets, which combine the company’s flagship tech with elegant, contemporary design. The TCL C Series TVs are the thinnest TCL has to offer, and while the company has made some sacrifices to get the sets that thin, that premium design combined […]
We always see loads of cool stuff at CES, but one of the TVs LG brought to the show this year exceeded the usual lofty expectations. Their 77″ Signature OLED TV W is so thin, mounting it to the wall looks more like applying wallpaper. Being an OLED, being 77″, and being super thin, we […]
TCL did a solid job of making high-quality 4K TVs affordable and attractive last year, and this year looks to be no different. They’ve kept up their partnership with Roku to make their OS native to the TV, but this year TCL has added high-end HDR in Dolby Vision, adding a little future-proofing into this […]
At CES earlier this year, Dell showed off an 8K monitor useful (arguably) to a very small subset of professionals. But, besides the resolution overkill, there was a lot to like about that monitor, especially its wide-gamut color reproduction. Dell’s getting a bit more down to earth today, introducing a similar 4K display that excels […]
To get all the good drone stuff — a 4K camera, hover, sonar, tracking, GPS — you usually need to pay up. Drones like the Hover Camera Passport tick all those boxes, but most cost upwards of $500. A new drone from a company called Ruiven seeks to cut down that price by a lot — all the […]
We’ve been big fans of TCL televisions lately, and there’s little wonder why — as it becomes cheaper to manufacture high-resolution LCD displays, it’s become easier for smaller companies to compete with giants like Samsung and LG by producing TVs almost as good for a fraction of the price. The competition is only heating up […]
When TCL announced their 4K UHD TCL Roku TV series at CES, we were super psyched. An affordable 4K TV that comes running arguably the best video streaming platform out of the box? How could we not be excited! I own the 55″ TCL Roku TV model that came out in 2014, and while it does […]
Remember all of those fancy Samsung SUHD TVs we saw at CES? Samsung’s finally getting ready to sell them, and boy are they going to cost you. They’ve got five lines of SUHD TVs in various sizes, with prices starting at $1,500 and going all the way up to — brace yourself — $20,000. The SUHD TVs […]
When we first heard about the USB Type-C connector, a lot was said about how Type-C cables would be multi-function — it could be used for charging, data transfer, and even serve as an A/V connection to a monitor. In 2016, we’re going to see a lot more of the USB connector of the future, […]
Television terms are notoriously tricky — promotions and ads tend to throw numbers and letters at you without ever explaining what they are or why they should matter to you. Fortunately, explaining things like 1080p and 4k are easy enough. They refer to the number of pixels on the screen, with more pixels allowing the […]
I’m not an art expert, but I’d imagine that the term ‘digital art’ encompasses a wide range of media. Klio is a new company with a platform they hope will encourage the explosion of a very particular kind of digital art — one that hangs on your wall like a painting, but is dynamic. They […]
The iMac is getting its yearly overhaul today, with Apple announcing tweaks to both the 21.5″ and 27″ models along with new versions of their wireless keyboard, mouse, and trackpad. The 27″ iMac will now be powered by 6th generation (Skylake) Intel Core i5/i7 processors, up to 32 GB of DDR3 RAM, up to a […]
Warning: marketing speak ahead. But, once we hack through that forest, there just might be something to Sony’s claims that even more of their lineup of 4k televisions now support high dynamic range (HDR) video. Sony first started talking about HDR video in April, when it was reported that their 75″ flagship 4k X940C television […]
We’ll start with a caveat — bad things often happen when you combine ambitious ideas with Kickstarter. It’s why we usually steer clear of the crowdfunding lands, but what Z Camera is promising has gotten our attention. How can we not take notice when someone designs a 4K interchangeable lens camera body that you can […]
Sony has been pumping out some of the most impressive cameras on the market over the past few years by consistently figuring out how to fit their top-line pro features into somewhat affordable consumer models. The three new cameras being introduced today — the fixed-lens RX10 II and RX100 IV and the interchangeable-lens a7R II […]
Samsung’s new line of SUHD TVs were the centerpiece of the company’s showing at CES earlier this year. At the Spring Launch event, Samsung announced pricing and availability details for its first production run of those new wonder televisions. Meant to be Samsung’s flagship line of televisions (the ‘S’ being the same as the one […]
At CES last month, Sony announced their 4K Action Cam. Sony’s Action Cam is Sony’s answer to GoPro, but unlike the GoPro, this sports camera is packed with serious Carl Zeiss optics on the inside. We took the 4K Action Cam for a road test over in Crested Butte, Colorado. And by roads – we […]
A lot of times, there’s not much more to say about a 4k television other than that the picture quality is really pretty because it has a lot of pixels. But, the new BeoVision Avant TV from Bang & Olufsen throws in a few curveballs that make it one of the more intriguing 4k prospects […]
Psst, there’s already a 4k laptop up and running, and it’s going to be available as soon as next week. Pass it on. The Toshiba P55t manages the feat, thanks to a 3840 x 2160 15.6” TruBrite touchscreen IPS display. That makes the P55t the first 4k laptop on the market, though by no means […]
Samsung is shrinking down their 4k technology, and bringing it to market in monitor form. The UD590, Samsung’s upcoming 28” monitor, will have a good many of the features you’d find on their televisions, and it’s going to arrive sooner rather than later. The UD590 has a 28” 4k (3840 x 2160) display, along with […]
The oft-repeated problem with 4k TVs, up until now, was that there was a decided lack of actual 4k content to make owning those 4k TVs worth the exorbitant cost. Well, at CES this year, Sony has a solution – you can make your own 4k content!
