TVs

You can watch movies and shows from Netflix, Hulu, HBO, and other services on a smartphone or a tablet, but a dedicated TV will always be something special. It’s the centerpiece of your living room, and the only display that you can truly cozy up to on the couch for hours on end. If you want to get more out of your purchase, you can make it even better with a powerful sound system and by hooking up a few game consoles, like the Nintendo Switch, PS4, or Xbox One. The latest 4K (and soon, 8K) displays from Sony, Samsung, LG, Vizio, and more deliver enhanced visual quality, better value, and smart features that you can’t find on other screens outside of your local cinema. If you’re looking for the latest TV news, how-tos on optimizing your home theater setup, and reviews for OLED and LCD TVs, you’ve come to the right place.

For a kids show, Supa Team 4 looks kinda sick?

Eight years ago, Zambian writer Malenga Mulendema entered to participate in a story development initiative sponsored by animation house Triggerfish — the South African studio behind “Aau’s Song” from Star Wars: Visions Volume 2.

Now, Supa Team 4 — Mulendema’s idea for a story about four teen girls transforming into thrifty superheroes — is slated to become Netflix’s first original animated African series, and the show’s trailer looks pretty damn slick.

LG is going to support that hotel AirPlay thing.

Spider-Verse producer Amy Pascal says live-action Miles is on his way.

At Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse’s LA premiere this week, producer Amy Pascal teased that Miles Morales is definitely making his live-action debut in the near future, and Sony’s already working on another Spider-Man starring Tom Holland:

“We’re in the process, but the writers strike, nobody is working during the strike. We’re all being supporters and whenever they get themselves together, we’ll get started.”

Telly’s free TV will come with a DirecTV Stream integration.

Telly, the company that’s launching a free, ad-supported TV, says DirecTV customers will be able to “bring all of their connected experiences” to the dual-screen TV when it starts shipping this summer.

That will come on top of all the other apps that Telly is launching with the TV, including Zoom, 40 built-in games, and a voice assistant. Telly is also giving new DirecTV Stream customers “priority access” on its waitlist, which grew to over 100,000 people last week.

Enhance.

Sure, 8K TV seems completely stalled as a consumer product, but that didn’t stop Chinese manufacturer BOE from bringing this 110-inch 16K display to SID Display Week 2023.

Vincent Teoh took a look at all of its pixels, which were unfortunately forced to display upconverted low-res 8K content.

Here’s what BOE had to say about it:

The product adopts BOE’s cutting-edge oxide TFT technology and features high charge carrier mobility and an ultrahigh resolution, improving the image finesse by four times on the basis of 8K. It adopts BOE’s proprietary image enhancement technology to further boost the charging and drive capabilities, delivering exquisite and breathtaking image effects.

Free is the magic number.

You couldn’t pay me to put Telly’s free TV that comes with a second screen entirely for ads in my house, but a lot of other people are willing to do so: the company says more than 100,000 people registered to try and get one within 36 hours of the TV’s launch. The TV is set to start shipping in the summer.
