On the odd chance that you also horde these sorts of files, you’ll be interested in a 4K HDR sample that Netflix just released. You won’t have to search for Torrents of Netflix’s new 12-minute show Meridian: the streamer has published the program as […]

If you’ve been waiting to get your Kodi on, and can’t install the old-school version. There’s no an option straight out of the Microsoft Store. Oddly, it’s PC only… So Windows Mobile and XBox One are left out. Which at least one of them should find pretty typical.

If I’m honest, I wasn’t expecting much when I clicked through to look RHT’s review of the Vizio P65-C1. While scanning through I ran across this “…the Vizio P65-C1 provided the best non-OLED performance I saw this year”.

Ranging from $1,300-$2,000, the three consumer 1080p projectors are the most afforable of the set. But, if your pockets are a bit deeper (OK, quite a lot deeper), there’s also a Laser model in the mix. It’s also 1080p, but will support 4K + HDR input, and carries a CI targeted $8,000 MSRP.

Not everyone wants, needs, or is willing to pay for the top-of-the-line tri/quad stream 802.11AC Wi-Fi router. For those who fall into that category, but still want modern features like MU-MIMO the ASUS RT-AC58U might be just the thing. It is launching at the end of September, but price hasn’t been disclosed yet so we’ll have to wait and see […]
Read moreI’d really, really like an OLED TV, but with a still quite decent PDP to “make do” with it’s been a bit difficult to justify the purchase; especially given #3 on CNET’s “should I upgrade” questions. Even if you’re not in the market. It is a good breakdown of what’s out there, and how much it will hurt to bring […]

People may poke fun at IoT and Smart Home, but these smart radiator valves are exactly the kind of thing that I think sell the home automation (HA) story. They increase efficiency, reduce the need to intervene, and provide useful feedback on what’s goin on in my home while potentially saving me money. Perfect. The valves are £59.99 and you […]
