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.

Xgimi MoGo 3 Pro review.

At $449, this all-in-one Google TV projector is a good choice if portability is important and you already own a battery with USB-C PD 3.0 output. The speaker is good enough, and the auto-positioned 1080p image looks best at night but remains watchable during the day. A $499 bundle incudes a wobbly PowerBase Stand for about two hours of playback. Mine toppled over onto concrete but the projector survived!

<em>The MoGo 3 Pro can automatically hunt for the best image placement, level it, square off the corners, and focus it all while avoiding obstacles. Xgimi makes it easy to then tweak its best guess placement or turn off the ISA 2.0 tech entirely.</em>
<em>It’s small but not that small, measuring 299 x 159 x 145mm and 1.1kg. And you still have to provide power because this is BYOB: bring your own battery.</em>
<em>The projector can rotate up to 120 degrees which is not enough to point the image at the ceiling. </em>
<em>It can also be used as a Bluetooth speaker when in Ambient Light mode (slightly opened) with colors that seem to flicker instead of actually syncing to the beat of the music. </em>
<em>If you’re not happy with the sound produced by the integrated 2 x 5W speakers at the base of the unit, you can pair your own over Bluetooth 5.1. The MoGo 3 Pro also has GoogleCast built-in, but you’ll need to install MagiCast for Apple’s AirPlay support. </em>
<em>Even in Eco mode you get a decently bright and large image that can be enjoyed during the day, so long as it’s not too sunny outside. A brighter Performance mode takes better advantage of its maximum output of 450 ISO lumens but it’s only available when powered by the included 65W AC wall adapter. Unfortunately, this mode also causes the fan to kick on at a very loud 67dB, which is about as loud as a microwave!</em>
<em>I had to manually adjust the image to fit into this oddball space at dusk. Here, I’d turn off the ISA 2.0 tech at startup or when the unit is moved to avoid having to resize everything manually again.</em>
<em>The PowerBase Stand consists of two 16.1-inch sections to create a short tripod or a longer 26.1-inch tripod with 20,000mAh battery. In my testing, that’s enough power for about two-hours of continuous playback when the projector is in Eco mode.</em>
<em>A better look at everything that comes in the box with the $499 PowerBase Stand bundle.</em>
<em>Standard tripod mount.</em>
<em>ISA 2.0 automatic keystone correction kicking in. This can be set to happen at startup, when the device is moved, or never.</em>
<em>This flap doesn’t always close which is annoying. Otherwise the build quality is pretty good, if a little too plastic-y.</em>
<em>The USB and Micro HDMI (ARC supported) ports.</em>
<em>Attaching the </em><a href="https://us.xgimi.com/products/xgimi-creative-optical-filter"><em>$49 Creative Optical Filter</em></a><em> to the front of the projector and downloading the XGIMI Wall app lets you project giant magnified lightshows around your space. Cute, but only worthwhile in very dark rooms. You don’t need this.</em>

Amazon tricks customers into buying Fire TVs with “fake” discounts, lawsuit alleges.

A proposed class action lawsuit filed in Washington state claims Amazon misleads customers about Fire TV prices during “limited-time” deals:

Far from being on sale, or being sold at a discount off of List Prices, the Fire TVs were always available for sale during the class period. As a result, everything about Defendants’ price and purported discount advertising is false and misleading.

This echoes a similar lawsuit filed against Amazon in 2021.

Samsung launched two new ultra-short throw projectors.

The Premiere 9 and Premiere 7 share the same 4K resolution and HDR 10+ certification as their predecessor, but they come with Samsung’s gaming hub and an ambient mode that projects photos, videos, and widgets on your wall when you’re not watching anything.

While the triple-laser 130-inch Premiere 9 costs $6,000, the 120-inch Premiere 7 is priced at $3,000.

Sony once made a massive 45-inch CRT TV that cost $40,000.

As spotted by Boing Boing, David L. Farquhar shares the details of the largest CRT TV ever produced. The Sony PVM-4300 “weighed about 450 pounds, stood about 27 inches tall,” and was too large to squeeze through a standard door frame.

Built by hand, only 20 were exported from Japan to the United States where they were sold with “a significant markup.”

LG’s most affordable 2024 OLED TV is here.

LG’s new entry-level OLED TV, the B4, has started shipping. Starting at $1,699, it provides the core OLED benefits like perfect blacks and 120Hz gaming performance. But you’d be better off hunting down a deal on last year’s C3 while there’s still supply.

Splurging a little more on the C4 or G4 gets you better brightness, plus other bells and whistles.
