Home Entertainment
Samsung’s Rotating TV
Samsung unveiled their new rotating TV called the Sero TV. Sero in Korean means ‘vertical’. The TV can pivot between being horizontal and vertical in orientation so you can enjoy a movie as you normally would or change the screen to be vertical so you can scroll through your social accounts on the big screen. The Sero has wheels on its base so you can move it around your home. It’s reported to be available in 43” and coming to Australia from mid-2020, making it the ideal TV for smaller rooms like the kitchen, study or guest room.
LG’s Rollable TV
Brought to attention at the 2019 CES, LG’s rollable TV didn’t get onto the public market by year’s end as first thought. The TV itself is a 65” screen that’s so flexible it rolls up when you need it and it can roll back down and disappear into its cabinet. Keep your eyes open, it’s reported the TV could be available after the second half of this year.
Hisense’s Dual Cell Technology
OLED TV technology has been the talk in previous years due to its ability to produce incredible colours and brightness. During this year’s CES, Hisense have released details of its Dual Cell Technology that’s said to rival OLED. Put simply, Hisense’s technology combines 2 layers of liquid crystal modules one on top of each other which allows for deeper black levels. The deeper and darker levels of black enables colours to appear brighter than ever before
Panasonic: Dolby Vision IQ & Filmmaker Mode
New to Panasonic’s TV series is the HZ2000, said to be the 2020 4K OLED flagship product. Unique to the HZ2000 is Dolby Vision IQ technology and the Filmmaker Mode with Intelligent Sensing. Dolby Vision IQ uses the TV’s sensors to determine lighting in the room to adjust the brightness levels. What this means is that you’ll never have to struggle watching in a brightly-lit room again. Enjoy blockbusters with help from the Filmmaker Mode that disenables image resizing, noise reduction and image sharpening to better reflect the director’s intent.
Samsung’s Bezel-Free 8K TV
Samsung’s new bezel-free TV sports the new “Infinity Screen” which occupies 99% of the front face of the TV. Now you can enjoy all your favourites with less frame. 8K technology is available on this TV, the only pitfall is that very little 8K content is available.
Audio
Panasonic’s New Wireless Headphones
Panasonic have entered the wireless headphones market with their new truly wireless headphones. Perfect for the commute, the RZ-S500W earbuds connect over Bluetooth 5 and has 5 hours of playback while the battery case provides an extra 15 hours.
Released under Panasonic’s Technics brand are the EAH-AZ70W true wireless headphones. Superior to the RZ-S500W, the Technics model has 6 hours of battery life with the case providing a total of 18 hours. Both headphones boast an IPX4 water-resistant rating and are reported to be available from June.
LG’s PuriCare Mini Air Purifier
