Sony recently revealed its Crystal LED screen, which will now be available to consumers in an adapted version. Customers will have to purchase the Crystal LED screen through certified dealers. The screen measures in at 63 feet wide and has a 16K resolution. The screen is an extreme luxury item and costs $5.8 million.

The screen uses micro-LED modules, and three small LEDs for all of the individual pixels. The screen functions very similarly to existing OLED technology, the only difference is the degree of brightness. Sony’s Crystal LED screen operates at 1,000 nit brightness as well as grayscale at 10-bits. This put Sony’s Crystal LED screens at a very high level of color reproduction. Sony states that the screen also has high-level 3D capabilities.

rudy deighton — Tue, 21 Jan 2020 16:58:56 +0000

The new sensor mirror hi-fi by simplehuman makes it possible for people to interact with Amazon Alexa to enhance the experience with a familiar product. The mirror has the potential to streamline a morning routine on its own, especially as it is packed with smart features like the ability to automatically light up when it detects a face approaching, but even more so with the help of the voice assistant.

As the sensor mirror makes it easy to see the face with three different levels of magnification, as well as natural-looking light, the integration of the voice-activated assistant only adds value to the functions of the smart mirror. AI voice assistants are proving to be invaluable for offering hands-free help and an effortless way to interact with items in the home.

8Pack OrionX Gaming PC

The OrionX gaming PC has two CPUs (not GPUs), including a 10-core processor from Intel’s new Core X line of chips. As for GPUs, well, there are three — three Nvidia Titan X cards in SLI. There’s then two M.2 SSDs in a RAID0 configuration for data backup, a 10 TB HDD for even more storage, and 16 GB of RAM, which actually seems sort of low for how over the top everything else is. Is there any game that exists now that could use this kind of power? No, not even if you were streaming and playing at the same time. But, if you’re paying £26,599 (about $37,100), you probably don’t care.

Quadcopters to the side. The Freefly Alta 8 has eight rotors, all of which fold in to make it surprisingly easy to travel with. There’s a lot of impressive in-flight features, too, but the most important thing? It can carry 11.9 kg of weight (about 26.2 pounds), allowing pros and semi-pros to rig up some serious heavy duty cameras. The ultimate drone videos will cost you $17,495, plus whatever a camera that heavy costs.

MacBook Air Supreme Platinum Edition

My favorite part of this MacBook Air, fully cast in platinum, is that it weighs over 15 pounds, completely negating the one thing that put the Air in MacBook Air. Just £319,995!

Sony LSPX-A1 4K Projector

rudy deighton — Wed, 18 Sep 2019 15:44:24 +0000

A projector so expensive, even its construction is fancy. But, our eyes aren’t on the synthetic marble on the projector itself — they’re on the 120″ 4K image coming out of this projector thanks 2,500 lumens of brightness, which is way up there in the projector world. It only has to be 9.6″ away from the wall, too! It’s good enough to not have to darken the room to use, in other words. So, it’s no wonder it costs $30,000.

Aeromobil flying car

rudy deighton — Wed, 18 Sep 2019 15:43:32 +0000

It’s a flying car! Well, kind of — the only kind consumers will be able to buy, anyway. The flying cars of sci-fi imagining remain elusive (and will probably be autonomous when they do arrive), but vehicles that are planes first, cars second are available to recreational flyers with their pilot’s license. Aeromobil’s plane has wings and a tail that fold in, transforming it into a pretty sleek car. Well, in theory, anyway — starting at $1.3 million, this transformer isn’t expected to be delivered to anyone until 2020.
