With a modular nature that makes for nearly infinite design combos, they’re a great decorative accent—especially for a game room. Their newest product, the Nanoleaf Canvas, addresses some of the shortcomings of the original…
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.

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…

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…
