i�m not buying a GE dishwasher until they come out with the see through dishwasher that jack donaghy came up with on the finale of 30 rock before nearly drifting out to sea. that was like a decade ago, at least.

The α9 Gen 2 employed in LG�s Z9, W9, E9 and C9 series OLED TVs heightens picture and sound quality with its deep learning algorithm (developed from a vast database of over one million visual data) which recognizes content source quality and determines the best upgrade method for optimal visual output. LG�s 8K 88-inch Z9 OLED TV boasts higher processing capabilities for delivering the most realistic 8K picture quality that looks sharp, vivid and detailed thanks to 8K upscaling and improved noise reduction.

In addition to content source detection, the new processor finely adjusts the tone mapping curve in accordance with ambient conditions to offer optimized screen brightness, leveraging its ability to understand how the human eye perceives images in different lighting. The processor uses the TV�s ambient light sensor to measure light levels, automatically adjusting brightness to compensate as needed. The α9 Gen 2 AI can further refine HDR content by adjusting the brightness to transform even the darkest scenes into ones with incredible contrast, detail and depth of color, even in brightly-lit rooms. And by leveraging Dolby�s latest imaging innovation which intelligently adjusts Dolby Vision content, LG TVs deliver a compelling HDR experience under varying ambient light.

Sound quality is augmented by an intelligent algorithm that can up-mix two-channel audio to deliver convincing virtual 5.1 surround sound. The α9 Gen 2 optimizes output based on content type, making voices clearer in movies, dramas and news broadcasts, among others. Users can adjust sound settings to suit room conditions or let their LG TV intelligently set the perfect levels based on its positioning. What�s more, LG�s flagship TVs again feature Dolby Atmos to create incredibly realistic sound for more immersive entertainment.

I mean, having an algorithm that automatically adjusts the brightness/saturation/post-processing or equalizer profile based on detected content type would be nice but I also suspect it will suck rear end and not work right the same as sarnsung's terrible soap-opera effect they keep putting on their tvs

It sounds terrible in theory and it's going to be garbage in practice. Dynamic brightness algorithms only exist to cheat power usage labeling requirements, anyways.

i mean, I thought TVs already adjusted brightness and contrast based on the rooms lighting but I guess this is using the actual video to adjust that too

Whirlpool has announced that it is expanding the mobile watch functionality of its connected appliances to Wear OS ahead of CES 2019. This expands the foray Whirlpool made to mobile earlier this year when it announced plans for an Apple Watch app. In addition, Whirlpool said it�s introducing simplified voice commands to its Smart Laundry appliances for both Google Assistant and Alexa devices.

In the planned Wear OS app, owners of Whirlpool connected appliances will be able to see status updates and control certain commands via their watches. For example, the app will let you see a connected oven�s current status and control commands when it�s in use. With a Whirlpool connected washer, you�ll get status updates and be able to change wash options during an active cycle. Lastly, with one of Whirlpool�s connected dryers, you�ll be able to see if a cycle has started and also how much drying time is left.

Whirlpool�s simplified voice commands for Google Assistant and Alexa devices mean you�ll no longer need to state the specific brand when requesting to complete an action, such as assigning wash settings.

in a sane universe: our washers and dryers send out notifications to your home network when they finish or have a problem, we�ve created an api that can parse them
in our universe: using three separate application stacks and a wristwatch operating system your data travels through two dozen servers to your phone before being transmitted via bluetooth to your smart watch. also you can change what your washer is doing mid-cycle for some reason
