HDR, or High Dynamic Range, monitors are display screens that offer a wider range of colours and brightness levels than traditional monitors. They are designed to display images with more detail, depth, and realism, making them ideal for gaming, video editing, and other multimedia applications. HDR monitors can produce brighter whites, deeper blacks, and more vibrant colours, resulting in a more immersive viewing experience. They also have a higher contrast ratio and can display a wider colour gamut, which means they can reproduce more colours than traditional monitors. Combine that with a high refresh rate, and these monitors can provide the pinnacle of gaming experience. LG just shot their chance at that experience, as they unveiled their 49-inch HDR monitor with a 240-Hz refresh rate.

The LG 49GR85DC-B monitor boasts an impressive list of specs that are sure to grab the attention of ultrawide gaming enthusiasts. With its 49-inch VA panel, 32:9 aspect ratio, 5,120 by 1,440 resolution, and 98.5 per cent DCI-P3 coverage, this monitor is designed to deliver a stunning visual experience. Plus, its 240Hz refresh rate, 1ms pixel response time, and AMD FreeSync Premium technology make it ideal for fast-paced gameplay. LG also claims that the monitor is DisplayHDR 1000 certified, which means it’s capable of reaching a peak brightness of 1000 nits and features some form of local dimming.

It is worth noting that the price tag of $1,300 may be a bit steep for some, and VA panels don’t always perform as well as advertised. Additionally, few games currently support the 32:9 aspect ratio. Despite these drawbacks, the LG 49GR85DC-B is available for pre-order on the company’s website, and early adopters will receive a complimentary UltraGear RGB Gaming Mouse Pad valued at $200.

It’s not uncommon for OnePlus’ flagships to be on the radar of leaks before the launch. Recently, the company made the next flagship for 2021 official at the Qualcomm event. Although it didn’t reveal the names, going by the numbers, it probably will be the OnePlus 9 series along with a new 9E. Today, Phonearena brings us the first-ever hands-on real-life image of the non-Pro variant.

Citing anonymous sources, the report shows various images of what is reportedly a pre-production unit. Claimed to be the OnePlus 9 5G, the report has been supported by tipsters like Max Jambor as well. First off, the model number of the device is LE2117 which is contradictory to the earlier leaks that said it could be of the OnePlus 9 Pro. Next, the images show a device who’s rear panel has silver color.

Besides, the camera module on the device is similar to the earlier CAD renders having triple-cameras two large sensors, and a smaller one. There’s an LED flash beside the strip of cameras similar to OPPO’s Reno series of devices(Eg. Reno4 Pro). The rounded-rectangular layout also has a ‘ULTRASHOT’ written on it and the rear-panel logo isn’t of OnePlus.

Upfront, as you can see above, the device has a top-left punch-hole display. In addition to claiming it similar to the OnePlus 8T, the report says that it’s a 6.55-inch FHD+ flat display. It supports HDR, has a refresh rate of 120Hz, a resolution of 2400×1080, and 20:9 aspect ratio. What follows is a series of images to reveal the microphones(Top, bottom), SIM card tray, Type-C port, and Speaker( at bottom), along with the boot logo.

If the images along with the report turns is true, the device will have a metal frame made of Aluminum and have the ports and buttons at usual placements. Anyway, apart from looks, the report also shows some screenshots of its internals. Apparently, the LE2117 device has a board Lahaina (which hints at Snapdragon 888), has 8GB RAM, 128GB storage, and runs Android 11.

The screenshots also include details like the 12MP f/1.88 rear camera and 4MP f/2.4 front camera. However, it could either be an error listing or indicate the actual output of the quad-Bayer 48MP, 16MP sensors respectively. Apart from this, earlier leaks say that the OnePlus 9 mostly won’t have an IP rating, unlike the Pro variant.

Xiaomi has today announced a new Mi TV 4A variant for the Chinese market. The new model comes with a 58-inch display and will retail for a decent 2999 yuan (~$433) price tag, except that you won’t likely get it at that amount outside China.

The Mi TV 4A series is supposed to be an affordable series and was first unveiled in China in March last year. The series was first unveiled in 43-inch, 49-inch, 55-inch and 65-inch models and later on, a cheaper 32-inch model was launched. The 43-inch and 49-inch models feature a 1080p resolution on their displays, while the 55-inch and 65-inch models are the high-end versions both having 4K display resolution a piece. The latest 58-inch model also comes with a 4K HDR screen.

Xiaomi Mi TV 4A 58-inch is powered by a quad-core 64-bit high-performance Amlogic T962 clocked at 1.5GHz while the graphics aspect is powered by a Mali 450 750MHz GPU. The processor is paired with 2GB of RAM. The device also offers up to 8GB of flash memory as against 32GB of eMMC5.1 flash memory on other versions. In addition, the Mi TV 4A 58-inch version comes with support for HDR10, a static contrast ratio of 5000:1, refresh rate of 60Hz, viewing angle of 178 °, and the latest UHD HLG while also supporting the Dolby Vision format. The Mi TV 4A comes in Smart just like Xiaomi’s range of Mi TV, sporting a dual-band WiFi connection, as well as Bluetooth 4.2. The Bluetooth connectivity allows the TV to connect with accessories such as Bluetooth mouse, speakers, keyboard, gaming pad and others.

The smart TV is also equipped with Xiaomi’s PatchWall artificial intelligence system with voice control. The system can intelligently learn the user’s preference based on usage habits. It comes with 3 HDMI ports, 2 USB ports and antenna, AV input to connect the set-top box, S / PDIF and other interfaces.

The Google Pixel has a fantastic camera that takes superb photos. The result of the photos is actually a joint work between the sensor and the software which does an amazing post-processing job thanks to the HDR+ feature. Much gratitude to the app developer that goes by B-S-G, as it is no longer exclusive to the Pixels. He was able to port it to other devices which can now take advantage of the HDR+ feature.

This version of the camera is a modified version of Google Camera 4.4.012.156195200 but it will work on phones powered by the Snapdragon 820, 821, and 835. These devices use Hexagon 680 ISP or above that’s why they are supported. It has been tested on the LG G6, OnePlus 3, OnePlus 3T (I’ve tried it too, though selecting slow motion mode force closes the app), OnePlus 5 and the Samsung Galaxy S8.

When you take a shot with HDR+ activated, you get a notification that it is processing.

Pete Lau, CEO of OnePlus, has shared a number of sample photos on Saturday, exposing the potential quality the OnePlus 5 can provide.

The photo shown is set on a river or lake outside a Chinese city taken during sunset.

According to the source, there is an indication that the camera setup was taken featuring a relatively high dynamic range, in comparison to OnePlus’ predecessors. This feature is used to correct exposure levels of multiple objects in a single photo.

Smartphone cameras have been known to provide underwhelming low-light reproductions such as sunsets. This happens when a camera senses a great difference between the brightest and darkest levels of the image. The image obtained has had its metadata washed, providing no details about the specifications and settings were used before the picture was taken.

On the other hand, the picture obtained by the source was uncropped or no resized, presenting an original 4608 by 3,456 pixel image. This indicates that the OnePlus 5 will be firing pictures from at least one 16-megapixel shooter.

These suggestions coincide with an OEM’s claims previously reported before OnePlus’ official tweet exposing back of the device and the camera setup. What we cannot confirm currently is the exact specifications on the dual camera setup. Furthermore, unlike other dual camera setups, OnePlus could be opting for a monochrome and RGB sensor. This setup should provide better contrast and more effective high dynamic range photos.

OnePlus have stressed they have been working closely with DxO Labs to develop imaging software that would provide impeccable photo reproduction competing with smartphones such as the Pixel XL, Galaxy S8, P10 etc. What are your thoughts about OnePlus’ latest photo sample? Do you think OnePlus will be able to compete with other flagship phones on HDR photography?

Bravia (Best Resolution Audio Visual Integrated Architecture) is a subsidiary of Sony that is associated with high definition TVs although once in a while they also work with the mobile phone division to make those crisp Xperia displays we love. At this year’s edition of CES they unveiled a new OLED TV whose design stands out.

While flat screen TV’s can either hang on your wall via a wall bracket or sit on your TV console table via a base that props it up, the Bravia A1E can’t do any of that. What it does is sit on it’s screen and rests on a sort of kickstand. To get a clear picture of what I mean think of a desk photo frame; that’s how this bad boy rolls.

The kickstand of the Bravia A1E isn’t just propping it up, it is also where the TV’s processor and other components are stored. Since the stand is ”hidden” behind the display, it provides the illusion of a display just standing on it’s own.

The way it stands is not the only thing that is special about this new TV, it has an edge-to-edge display which means there are no speakers around the TV (and behind it). So instead of making a separate sound bar like the Xiaomi Mi TV 4, the Bravia A1E churns out sounds from the screen itself, a technology Sony calls Acoustic Surface. This way, the sound literally hits you in the face.

The display actually contains four actuators, two on the left side and another two on the right. The actuators need to be supplemented with a woofer and Sony has installed one into the kickstand. If you touch the display while watching a movie you can actually feel it vibrate, but surprisingly it doesn’t cause jitters on the screen.

Technical Specifications of Bravia A1E

The Bravia A1E has a 65-inch 4K HDR OLED display supplied by LG. It is equipped with Sony’s new Processor X1 Extreme engine. Sony says the Bravia A1E will also be available in 55-inch and 70-inch models.

Bravia A1E Price and Availability

During the unveiling, no price or date of release was mentioned. Although some people have speculated that it might be available for purchase by the end of February or Early March.

LG is taking television to the next level by bringing in a technology we ordinarily would have thought is for the future. As they say, the future is now, and the Korean tech giant is proving that with the unveiling of its latest Smart OLED TV dubbed LG W7 “wallpaper” OLED television at CES 2017.

Yes, the new LG television is as thin as a wallpaper, literally! It has a thickness of just 2.57mm on one of its model which is 65-inch in size. The other models comes in 77 inches in size. Despite the thin build, the W7 is a full 4K HDR TV with no backlight but with the latest high-end picture quality.

Another awesome feature of the LG W7 OLED TV is that it can be attached directly to a wall using magnetic brackets, thus no traditional wall mount is needed. The SmartTV also comes with a huge companion sound bar that is attached with a thin-but-wide 82-inch ribbon cable. The sound bar sits behind the TV screen and it features Dolby Atmos sound. At the back of the sound bar, lies all the HDMI ports and connectivity ports for the W7. The LG W7 OLED TV uses a modular design which means the motherboard is positioned separate from the panel, a design which made the thin build possible.

The LG W7 OLED TV isn’t just a demo or a concept on display, but is a product which is set to hit the market later this year. LG is yet to announce the price tag, though, but we don’t expect it to come cheap.

The Nibiru Jupiter 1’s biggest selling points are its 7.0-inch LTPS display screen and its use of the 1.7GHz MT6592H octa-core chipset.

Jupiter is the fifth planet from the sun and is also the largest and fastest-revolving planet in the solar system. The Nibiru Jupiter 1 is also the phone with the biggest screen among Nibiru’s phones. Actually, it is much better to call it a tablet phone. Because it uses a 7.0-inch 1920 x 1200 display screen, enthusiasts for big screen phones should be pleased.

The Nibiru Jupiter 1 only sports a 2mp front camera but can still be used for everyday video chats.

As for the main camera, it uses a 13mp camera that supports auto-focus, photo-taking by voice command, HDR, and other features. 1
