Actually, it wouldn't be entirely accurate to describe CES as in-person, since some companies opted to present products online while retaining their usual show floor real estate. In such cases, the result was a kind of “augmented reality experience, one where attendees wandered through the skeleton of a typical CES booth scanning QR codes with their smartphones to access new product information. Strange days, indeed!
Between our online and live newsgathering efforts—I made the trek out to the show to attend in-person-Sound & Vision managed to get a well-rounded view of the TV trends that will unfold during 2022. Highlights include a new variation on OLED display tech called QD-OLED that promises higher brightness and increased color depth over already impressive current OLED offerings. There will also be OLED and MicroLED models in a range of new screen sizes, more Mini-LEDbacklit LCD options from all major brands, and increased availability of sets with a full HDMI 2.1 feature set to satisfy gamers. The future of TV is now.-AL GRIFFIN

The Big Clean
Chances are you probably do not think about the state of your electronic devices too often.

Sure, you think about that part of your system. But how often do you think about the well-being of your system?

Bridging the Analog-Digital Gap on a Recliner
When I shopped for a motorized recliner, I rejected models with their own Internet Protocol address and built-in speakers. No need.
