CES 2019: Ring Door View Cam and Smart Lights.

We’re big fans of Ring. Their eponymous video doorbell was one of the first products of its kind, and ushered in a new era of affordable, easy-to-operate home monitoring systems. They’ve since expanded to offer a more comprehensive security solution that includes lights, motion sensors, and more. At CES, we caught up with a suite of products that further expands their catalog and provides additional ways to keep your home safe. The…

CES 2019: Sony CLEDIS Crystal LED Display

This isn’t the first time we’ve been able to experience Sony’s Crystal LED display, but each year the technology gets a bit more polished, leaving us wowed every time. Dubbed the CLEDIS (not to be confused with this Cletus), the display uses microLED technology, a refined version of the LEDs that power the vast majority of television and computer displays today. Aside from being way smaller, the main advantage that MicroLED has…

CES 2019: Klipsch The Fours Powered Speakers

Visiting the Klipsch booth at CES is always a little like stepping into alternate, retrofuturistic universe. We love how so many of their products combine high-end technology with a vintage aesthetic. A perfect example of that mashup is this new powered bookshelf speaker pair, The Fours. Take a quick glance at Klipsch’s The Fours, and you might assume they were a relic from the company’s past. The dark woods, wide-weave cloth grills,…

CES 2019: LG HomeBrew Craft Beer System

With the meteoric growth in both the home brewing and smart home industries, it’s not surprising to attend a consumer electronics trade show and see products that combine them both. The LG HomeBrew is a countertop appliance that aims to take the mess and trial out of brewing beer. Simply insert a series of ingredient capsules, add water, then tap the screen. And in two weeks, you’ll have about fourteen bottles of…

CES 2019: LG ThinQ Smart Mirror

Mirror, mirror on the wall, who’s the best-dressed of them all? If your mirror answers back “not you,” then you might be interested in this curious concept we saw at CES. The LG ThinQ Smart Mirror takes the standard bedroom accessory and upgrades it with the power of AI.

CES 2019: LG HU85LA Ultra-Short-Throw Laser Projector

Continuing their trend of hiding fabulous displays in plain sight (see the transparent and rollable OLED TVs) is the LG HU85LA CineBeam laser projector. This ultra-high-definition, ultra-short throw home theater projector brings serious imaging capabilities to your home, without the space requirements of a traditional projector. A typical home theater projector has a throw ratio of around 1.5-2. This means that for every foot of projected image width, you’d need to place…

CES 2019: LG’s Transparent OLED TV

Viewing a high-end OLED TV can be like looking through a window to the world, with color and contrast that make a picture look like real life. But what if that TV could also be a literal window to the world? That’s an idea to explore with the LG transparent OLED TV. Transparent LED displays are not new to CES, but they’re usually billed as a conceptual product or meant for commercial/retail…

CES 2019: LG Rollable OLED TV

For years, rollable and foldable displays have been a staple of futuristic sci-fi technology. And while they were pie-in-the-sky ideas for most of that time, in recent years they’ve inched closer and closer to viable consumer-ready products. Advancements in OLED technology have made flexible displays possible without compromising on image quality. Last year, featured alongside the rest of the LG OLED TV lineup, we got to see a working conceptual model of…

The LG OLED Z9 8K TV is, as its name implies, an OLED TV sporting the new resolution. Built as if answering a challenge to create the best TV possible with today’s…
