If this is the first you’re hearing of ISO Lumens,... Read more ›

Samsung brought an absolute beast of a 130-inch Micro RGB TV to CES 2026

Amid endless AI hype and a guest visit from the CEO of Hartford Steam Boiler (?!), Samsung had a big surprise for us tonight at CES 2026: A massive 130-inch Micro RGB TV. It’s so large, it’s suspended by a large metal stand that surrounds the entire screen, which also lets you tilt the screen just a bit. (For the Samsung diehards, it’s basically a reinvention of its “timeless gallery”... Read more ›

Samsung HW-QS90H soundbar hands-on: Impressive bass performance without a subwoofer

We’re used to Samsung updating its Q990 soundbar at CES every year, and 2026 is no different. However, the company also debuted the HW-QS90H: a new all-in-one option that Samsung says won’t require a standalone subwoofer due to its Quad Bass Woofer system.

LG brought back the Wallpaper TV for CES and ditched the companion sound bar

It's been nearly 10 years since LG first introduced its Wallpaper TV that was so thin that the mounting process felt like applying wallpaper.

LG is marketing the updated Wallpaper TV as the "world's thinnest" OLED that's truly wireless, making some... Read more ›
