LG announces details of its 2021 OLED TV lineup

 LG has released a handful of details about its upcoming 2021 series of OLED televisions at CES 2021. Going through the somewhat vague press release, it seems there would be at least five models of OLED TVs available in 2021, including the Z1, G1, C1, B1, and A1.

Among these, the G1 will feature LG's next generation OLED panel called OLED evo. LG claims this new panel is capable of higher brightness levels, something OLED has always struggled with. The G1 will be available in 55, 65, and 77-inch sizes.

The C1 will likely be the next popular model in LG's lineup after the success of 2020's CX. Like the CX, the C1 starts at 48-inches but goes all the way up to 83-inches for the first time. This won't feature the OLED evo panel, as that seems to be exclusive to the G1 model.

The Z1 seems to be the 8K model and will be available in 77 and 88-inch sizes. Not much is known about the A1 and B1 models, other than they will be available in at least 55 and 65-inch sizes.

The Z1, G1, and C1 models will also feature LG's new Alpha9 Gen 4 image signal processor, also found on the company's QNED99, QNED95, NANO99, and NANO 95 LCD models. The new processor claims to use deep learning algorithms to upscale content and has a feature called AI Picture Pro, which can recognize objects such as faces and bodies as well as the foreground and background in the image. The α9 Gen 4 can also detect content genre and adjust the image accordingly.

The Alpha9 Gen 4 TV models will also feature LG's new AI Sound Pro that can produce a virtual 5.1.2 surround sound experience through the TV's built-in speakers and native Dolby Atmos support. You also get auto volume leveling for consistent audio.

The 2021 models will feature the updated webOS 6.0 smart TV platform, with a redesigned home screen, as well as performance and feature improvements. The Magic Remote has also been updated with hotkeys for popular streaming services.

Select models such as the Z1, G1, and C1 will also have four HDMI 2.1 ports that support features such as 4K120 or 8K60, VRR, ALLM, and eARC. The TVs will also support NVIDIA GSYNC and AMD FreeSync Premium with 1ms response time for gaming. A Game Optimizer feature can also apply the best picture quality settings based on type of game being played.

Finally, 55 and 65-inch G1, C1, B1, and A1 models will also support the new Gallery Stand (seen in the image above), which is designed for floor-standing applications.

More details and pricing will be announced closer to launch later in the year.

Samsung Galaxy A42 5G review

Image
  Introduction Samsung Galaxy A42 5G is one very odd smartphone. It was touted as the cheapest 5G phone and teased for weeks before its complete specs were finally outed. And it turned out the A42 has grown quite bigger since its compact A40 and A41 predecessors. Not only that but this new Galaxy A42 5G is also shaping to be an excellent gaming device with a pretty large battery at that. Yes, the Galaxy A42 5G is odd, but in a good way. The Galaxy A42 5G doesn't stray from the beautiful design we saw on the Galaxy A41 and comes with an even more glamorous Prism Dot look. But it is now bigger as Samsung opted for a 6.6" Super AMOLED screen this time. Larger it may be, but the resolution has dropped to HD+, which may get some instant "ew", but bear with us for a moment. The latest mid-range Galaxy is powered by the 5G-capable Snapdragon 750 chip, which is a real powerhouse. And with that oomph under that HD+ display, we are looking at flagship-grade performance in gami

Roborock S7 comes with improved mopping, familiar design

Image
  Xiaomi-backed Roborock announced its latest robot vacuum at CES today called the Roborock S7. The big new change is in the mopping department with Sonic Mopping. The new mop vibrates at 50Hz frequency up to 3,000 times per minute allowing it to scrub floor surfaces and not just glide over them like past models. It should fare much better with dried stains and hard to clean surfaces. The mop can also lift itself by 5mm when it finishes its cleaning to prevent dirty streaks on the floor. Another new addition is the all rubber bristle-less brush. Ultrasonic carpet recognition can detect carpets via a dedicated sensor so it automatically raises the mop to prevent your carpets from getting wet. You still get room detection and zone-based cleaning with 2500 Pa suction. The new S7 loses out on the cameras found on last year’s S6 MaxV model and only relies on its LiDAR sensors for navigation. Dust bin capacity is 470ml while the water tank holds up to 300ml. The battery comes in at 5,200mAh
