I would like to have Shin Godzilla and Fury Road on UHD, so those will probably be my first purchase when the time comes.

fury road is very good in hdr

you're best waiting until your current tv dies if you're still happy with it, oled and falds are only getting cheaper, the tv I bought went from $1600 to $1000 in 7 months

samsung's "QLED" is a cynical attempt to create customer confusion and charge more for their middlin' edge lit lcd panels than actual oleds cost, in response samsung's high end marketshare is plummeting because hey making worse tvs and charging more for them isn't the best strategy

in unrelated news monster cable is still mad about beats and is still trying to create trendy headphones

pretty much everything else I've read from the show so far is:

wireless earbuds
smarthome garbage
alexa poo poo

can we make this image the thread title?

quote:

As a prototype, the Puppy 1 doesn�t currently have important features like obstacle avoidance. Once it ran into people in its path, the bag just froze or began rolling into people and falling over. (After watching it tumble a handful of times, the outer shell does appear to be decently durable. The concrete kiss sounds are still hard to listen to, though.) If the bag is grabbed while it�s supposed to be following you or trips over, the remote buzzes and the bag alarms which could cause quite a pandemonium at a crowded airport. The Puppy 1 is also designed as a carry-on bag, which means it�ll also need to have a removable battery to make it past major US airlines� requirements.

so what the gently caress is qled

i thought it was just a regular lcd, but using quantum dots for backlighting so that they were individually controllable. the ultimate FALD if you will

no qled is just lcd with a coating or something that every company has been doing since 2015 or so, samsung just went full "Q is better, is 2 more" with it, all their current qled tvs are side-lit even the $4000 ones, coupled with samsung's legendary quality control

[if you don't feel like watching the video they improved the image quality of a tv by putting it back in the box and dropping it on the floor a few times]

there's a different technology called micro led that might be what you're thinking of, they're starting to sell really large displays like 140"+

that lucrative market of people who think "you know what i want? speakers that cost as much as b&w or proac but look like particle board junk from 40 years ago"

only old people with memories of getting super high and listening to zeppelin on them in college have 4 grand for speakers

these probably have an actual crossover in them unlike the originals

here's the off brand stupid crap I so dearly crave

quote:

If you�re like most of the world, that means starting the day off with a steaming cup of Joe. You brew a pot or K-cup or whatever and then pour it into your travel mug and head off to work, hoping that your insulated vessel will keep the precious liquid hot enough for you to get your day started. Or you start with a cold drink in a thermos, likewise hoping it will keep cold throughout the day. But what if your bottle could do more than just contain liquid? What if it could heat it to maintain your desired temperature throughout the day? Or likewise cool it? Or even boil water to purify it for drinking or for use with freeze-dried food packs while camping? Or if it could actually be used to blend up your smoothie or to brew your coffee? I give you�the Cauldryn Fyre!

No joke, the Caudryn literally stopped me in my tracks as I passed the company�s booth at the Sands Expo. A water bottle you control with your voice using Google Home? Madness, I thought! A water bottle that offered smart device app control? Why? And also, how? A water bottle that can keep my coffee at the exact temperature ALL DAY or boil and purify water in the face of any zombie apocalypse?! Tell me more!

The secret of the Cauldryn resides in its modular design concept with a removable base system which the company describes as being similar to Legos. �We just keep asking, what else can we clip on?� Current clip on modules includes a blender attachment ($29.99), a percolator attachment ($14.99) and the heater. (A cooling attachment will be along soon! As well as a �glamping� friendly LED lantern with bug zapper, as well as 360-degree field Bluetooth speaker!) The rechargeable battery pack screws into the bottom providing all the Cauldryn�s power.

The bottle has a 2 cup capacity and they claim it can boil water twice on a single battery charge, or be used up to seven times for water purification. It also has settings for maintaining temperature. The device can also be used for charging another device.

Oh, and with Google Assistant, you can simply use your voice to start a brew cycle or ask the Cauldryn to start boiling the water. Welcome to the future, people! Available now for $149.99.

they figured out how to compress more resonance into the cabinets

computer modeling has allowed speaker design to get much, much better than it was 40 years ago plus there's bass management and subwoofers which weren't really a thing in the "hi fi" days
