According to Samsung, because the The Wall uses a non-organic substrate, it should never have that problem. As for screen size, for right now, Samsung only has one version of The Wall at 146-inches edge-to-edge. While other demos will allow you explore a bit with the content, The Wall was set to only the most glamorous content. Just as Samsung promised, The Wall was brighter than anything we had ever seen – yes, even brighter than 1,600-2,000 nit Samsung Q9F QLED TV that was shown off at last ye

This year’s CES 2018 event has only just started but we’ve already witnessed some exciting surprises, the latest being Acer and Asus announcing that they’re bringing support for Amazon’s Alexa voice assistant to their laptops. Acer and AlexaAcer has announced that Alexa support will be coming to a select number of its laptops. Some Acer Aspire all-in-one PCs will also get Alexa support. Initially available in the US, Alexa support will be available in the first quarter of 2018 via an update thro

As well as revealing the initial details about its Ryzen 2 and new Ryzen mobile processors at CES in Las Vegas, AMD also took the wraps off its first Ryzen Pro mobile CPUs. Targeted at business laptops and ‘commercial ultra-thin’ models as well as workstations, AMD has three new processors which come with integrated Radeon Vega Graphics: the Ryzen 3 Pro 2300U, Ryzen 5 Pro 2500U and the Ryzen 7 Pro 2700U. Stepping up to the Ryzen 5 Pro, this is a quad-core (eight-thread) CPU clocked at up to 3.6G

We’ve already heard rumors that the Samsung Galaxy S9 Plus will have more camera lenses than the standard Samsung Galaxy S9, but a new rumor suggests that the camera and screen size won’t be the only differences, as the Galaxy S9 Plus could also have more RAM and storage. According to a Weibo post, the standard Samsung Galaxy S9 will come with 4GB of RAM and either 64GB or 128GB of storage, but the Samsung Galaxy S9 Plus will come with 6GB of RAM and 64GB, 128GB or 256GB of storage, while some r

Founded some five years ago but launched in earnest in 2016, the unique geocoding system splits planet earth into a grid of 3m x 3m squares, with each square allocated a fixed and unique three-word address. Now, the innovative system can be applied to imagery thanks to a simple new piece of software for iOS and Android devices. 3WordPhoto is a self-contained application that requires access to the user’s camera and/or photo library. Keen snappers then shoot an image and the software uses built-i

Over at CES 2018, HP has taken the wraps off a refreshed Spectre x360 15, with the convertible getting some solid extra pep on the performance front. First, the 8th-gen Core i7-8550U – alongside juicing up the GPU from a GeForce 940 MX to a current-gen (Pascal) GeForce MX 150 with 2GB of video memory. There’s no real need for any upgrades in either case, at least on the performance front. There’s also a bundled HP Digital Pen for Windows Ink duties. The HP Spectre x360 15 will be available on Ma

All these HP monitors – there are 22-inch, 23-inch, 24-inch, 25-inch and 27-inch models – have IPS LED backlit panels with a Full HD resolution and refresh rate of 60Hz. The screens’ response time is 5ms (gray-to-gray) and the screens offer a brightness of 300 nits. All the monitors boast anti-glare panels to help keep reflectiveness under control in more brightly lit rooms. These HP monitors also offer the ability to tilt the panel forwards by 5 degrees, or backwards by 23 degrees. The only dif

The HP Z 3D Camera attaches to the top of your monitor, with a companion scan mat being placed underneath the downward-facing camera. You can then scan any real-world object placed on the mat – or rotated around in your hands underneath the camera – to create a lifelike 3D digital image on your computer. Flexible friendThe Z 3D Camera can also capture 2D documents, and can be used for sharing live video, bringing your hands and desk into view when, say, collaborating over Skype. Furthermore, you

Not one to conform, Nvidia has launched a new initiative to make the best PC gaming screens which it calls Big Format Gaming Displays (or BFGD for short). In collaboration with Acer, Asus and HP, the GPU maker will produce 65-inch, 4K 120Hz HDR displays with integrated Nvidia G-Sync technology and Nvidia Shield functionality. This effectively would make BFGDs the one of the biggest displays you can hook your PC gaming rig to. Alternatively, users could tap into the Nvidia Shield features to stre

Based on a new Raven Ridge architecture, AMD’s new APUs combine an updated version of Ryzen processor with “discrete-class” Radeon RX Vega graphics. This entry-level APU also comes outfitted with 4 cores, but only 4 threads as well as just 8 compute units attached to its Radeon RX Vega GPU. Ultimately, the bigger story here is that the on-board discrete Radeon RX Vega graphics basically offer twice the graphical performance of Intel’s Coffee Lake SoC. Both the AMD Ryzen 5 2400G and Ryzen 2200G w

AMD launched a pair of high-end mobile Ryzen processors last fall and now at CES 2018, it’s filling out its laptop APU family with a new pair of chips designed for affordable laptops and Chromebooks. The APU also comes outfitted with full-on Radeon RX Vega graphics powered by six compute units. Another step down, the dual-core Ryzen 3 2200U runs with 4 threads at standard 2.5GHz frequency that boosts up to 3.4GHz. Like the other APUs in the family, this one features Radeon RX Vega graphics, but

With AMD Ryzen 2 rumors in the air, we wholly expected the chip maker to tease its next generation processor family, and that’s exactly what we got. What we didn’t expect was for AMD to preview its roadmap on CPUs and GPUs going into 2020. However, Ryzen 2 will get a new X470 chipset that’s optimized for the new processor family and lower power consumption. By the second half of 2018, AMD promises second-generation Ryzen Threadripper and Ryzen Pro processors. AMD also predicts its 12nm Zen+ arch

As the HDR standards war continues to heat up, Samsung’s new HDR10+ has found a powerful new ally in Warner Bros. Home Entertainment, as reported by Forbes. Warner Bros. and the HDR10+ Alliance have confirmed that the film studio is now officially throwing its support behind the latest high dynamic range format, joining 20th Century Fox, Amazon Prime Video, Panasonic and, of course, Samsung. While Dolby Vision has a technical advantage in that it provides 12-bit colour, HDR10+ does not force TV

Intel has shown off its new collection of 8th-generation Core processors, and these CPUs are particularly notable because they feature discrete graphics technology by AMD, Intel’s longstanding rival. The Intel Core i7-8809G is the top-of-the-range edition, and features a base clock of 3.1GHz which can boost to 4.2GHz. The Intel Core i7-8706G follows, with the same base and maximum processor frequencies as the 8709G, but this time includes the Radeon RX Vega M GL for discrete graphics. The Intel

Intel has just announced its new line of 8th generation Core processors with AMD Radeon RX Vega M discrete graphics at CES 2018, and to show off how powerful small PCs running these chips will be, it’s also released the Intel NUC 8 Enthusiast. Intel’s NUC (Next Unit of Computing) mini PCs have always been handy little showcases for Intel’s technology, and the new version is set to really impress us. Running on an Intel Core i7-8809G, which comes with an AMD Radeon RX Vega M graphics card, rather

Believe it or not, Samsung has unveiled a 146-inch modular TV that will rival – and in some ways surpass – OLED screens that its rival, LG, has long-touted as the best screens on the market. The TV Samsung unveiled is called The Wall, and it can connect to other units to build an even larger display … if, for some reason, 146 inches isn’t enough for you. If a modular MicroLED TV sounds a bit like a made-up language only spoken in the back of AV clubs, MicroLED is a type of panel technology tha

We’re referring to the Byton concept car, an “intuitive” SUV that the company’s founders drove onto the stage at CES 2018. What was revealed is a sleek-looking vehicle, one that resembles the sporty yet family-friendly design of the Tesla Model X. Finally, Byton’s car features autonomous driving features and will have Level 3 self-driving capabilities at launch with a software upgrade bringing it up to Level 4 by 2020. That’s more expensive than the Tesla Model 3 but less than the base model of

Videographers can also use the DJI Osmo Mobile 2 intelligent motors to create complex shots such as following subjects in motion, motion timelapses and hyperlapses. The DJI Osmo Mobile 2 price is set at $129 (about £95, AU$160) and pre-orders starting on January 23 initially as an Apple Store exclusive. Like the Osmo Mobi

Who needs MP3s when you’ve got cassette tapes? Both the movie franchise and the show have released music on cassette tape in recent years. And vinyl sales rose again for the 12th consecutive year, making up 14 percent of all physical album sales during 2017. It seems that many of those who like to still buy physical music media are quite keen to get it on an older rather than a newer format. Total album sales were down though across both physical and digital formats.
