LG Electronics unveils world’s largest 97-inch OLED TV at US trade show

LG Electronics unveils world’s largest 97-inch OLED TV at US trade show

by | Oct 3, 2022 | Technology



LG Electronics said it has showcased the world’s largest organic light-emitting diode (OLED) TV at the latest trade show in the US in a bid to target the premium TV market in North America.


LG Electronics unveiled the lineup of its 97-inch OLED TV, or the OLED evo Gallery Edition, at the Consumer Electronics Design & Installation Association (CEDIA) Expo 2022 that was held in Dallas, Texas, reports Yonhap news agency.


The South Korean consumer electronics giant first unveiled the 97-inch OLED TV at the IFA 2022 electronics trade show held in Berlin last month.


At the CEDIA 2022, the company also showcased the Flex, the world’s first bendable OLED gaming monitor, and movable LG StanbyME.


LG Electronics said with the latest new lineup, it aims to solidify its leadership in the premium TV market in the U.S. as high demand is expected during major shopping seasons in the U.S., such as Black Friday in November and Christmas.


OLED TVs accounted for 33.2 per cent of all TV sales by LG in the first half.


TV manufacturers have been doubling down on their push in the high-end, more profitable segment, where demand slowed down less markedly than in the budget category.


In the premium TV segment, in which TVs are priced at $2,500 or more, Samsung Electronics Co. took up a 53.6 per cent market share, followed by LG at 21.5 per cent and Sony at 17.2 per cent, according to industry tracker Omdia.


In the OLED TV segment, LG kept its solid No. 1 spot by selling 1.69 million units in the first half, about 62 percent of all global OLED shipments.

Apple iPhone 14 Pro’s camera bump hindering its wireless charging: Report

Apple iPhone 14 Pro’s camera bump hindering its wireless charging: Report

by | Oct 3, 2022 | Technology



Some recent reports have claimed that the large camera housing on Apple’s iPhone 14 Pro smartphones hinders the wireless charging feature in some cases.


According to Mashable, there have been several user complaints drawing attention to the issue on several forums.


Users have complained that the iPhone 14 Pro is incompatible with several wireless chargers due to the camera bump, as it prevents some accessories from charging the smartphone.


The reports state that the iPhone 14 Pro’s huge camera hump sets it apart from its forerunners externally. Although the cameras have more power, some have complained that they experience excessive shaking when using third-party apps.


It was mentioned that the shaky camera configuration could possibly be causing problems with wireless charging compatibility.


Previously some Verizon iPhone 14 Pro users in the U.S. complained of calls sporadically disconnecting and poor, unreliable 5G cellular connectivity, according to Mashable.


Meanwhile, Apple released an iOS update to address the camera shakiness concerns that certain recent iPhone 14 Pro units were experiencing. To address this problem with the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max camera, Apple is now distributing the latest iOS 16.0.2 update.


Third-party programs including Instagram, Snapchat, and TikTok received reports of the problem. For every iPhone that can run iOS 16, the update is accessible, as per Mashable.

Tech giant Microsoft has released new Windows 11 Build to Insiders in the Dev Channel that brings a new settings experience for widgets along with the return of Task Manager shortcut.


The update includes a handful of new features that specific users will welcome. After installing the build, right-clicking the taskbar will now show a link to the Task Manager, reports Windows Central.


The Snipping Tool will automatically save screenshots as well, the report said.


“We are beginning to roll out a new settings experience for Widgets. Windows Insiders who are also Office Insiders can now try the new Outlook for Windows!” the company was quoted as saying.


The widget picker and Widgets settings have been separated in this build of Windows 11. This should make it a bit easier to navigate to the desired destination, the report said.


This build includes preliminary support to rearrange System Tray icons for Insiders with the System Tray updates that began rolling out with Build 25197.
