What changed my mind? Well, I just saw that the 55-inch Hisense U8H is $599 at Best Buy after a $500 discount (opens in new tab) — that’s a wild discount and it’s one of the best Cyber Monday TV deals I’ve seen so far. But this will likely sell out fast. In my review of the Hisense U8H, I heaped praise on the TV for its excellent brightness and contrast due to the use of its Mini-LED backlight....
It’s called the C Seed N1 TV and it’ll be available in three sizes — 165, 137 and 103 inches — and available in one titanium matte color option. What makes this TV different from, say, one of the best TVs you’re going to find at your local electronics store is that it uses a different panel technology (MicroLED) and, of course, its ability to fold up into an elongated metallic box when not in use....
To get some key caveats out there before we continue, I tested a pre-production version of the Honor Magic Vs, the sequel to this year’s original Magic V foldable. As a result, I can’t talk about any software-related features since they could change before launch. It’s currently announced for China, but it is promised to launch globally (although likely not in the U.S) in 2023. The fact we’ll at least be able to buy this in the U....
But are there best practices for staying hydrated? A lot of focus is spent on how many glasses of water you should drink in a day. In fact, the Apple Watch features a great app called Water Reminder that gives your personalized reminders for when you need to take another drink. Still, nobody ever thinks about what temperature that water should be. When it’s hot out, the default reaction is just to grab the coldest water so you can cool down immediately....
Why is this TV so tempting? As our LG C1 OLED review stated it has “fantastic picture quality” including being one of the most accurate panels we’ve ever tested, as well as “great brightness,” and minimal lag for gaming. Our reviewer even noted that he was “thrilled by the sound quality.” On top of that, you’ve got Dolby Vision HDR10 and HLG support for top-notch visuals, as well as four HDMI 2....
There’s a popular new Netflix show that just came out, reminding us how much Netflix’s audience loves Melissa McCarthy. The new series, which mixes sitcom tropes with fantasy and farce, immediately jumped up the charts the day after its debut. Arriving on Netflix yesterday (Wednesday, June 15), God’s Favorite Idiot found its way to the better-half of the Netflix Top 10 TV Shows in the U.S. Today list, ranking at No....
Called Halftime, this Netflix original documentary offers an “intimate peek behind the curtain” at the life and career of Jennifer Lopez. The actress, singer and entrepreneur signed a multi-year deal (opens in new tab) with Netflix last year, and this doc is just one part of that agreement. This deal will also see Lopez produce a slate of film and TV content for the streamer, as well as star in upcoming Netflix films The Mother and The Cipher....
The series was released last week without any significant fanfare, but has quickly found itself at the summit of the most-watched list in both the U.S. and U.K. The show has also enjoyed a strong reaction on social media, with viewing sharing theories, as well as plenty of memes, as they binge the show’s eight episodes. Pieces of Her follows a young girl named Andy who discovers her mother has a dark past in the wake of a deadly event....
You can currently get the Galaxy Z Fold 3, unlocked or with a carrier, with up to $1,200 in trade-in credit (opens in new tab) (including from phones with cracked screens) and then a free Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 worth $249 on top. That takes the Z Fold 3 down to as low as $600, or $350 if you count the Galaxy Watch. The $1,200 trade-in cap is $300 higher than at launch, but to sweeten the deal even more, the usual need to have an intact screen on your trade-in device has been removed....
The Taylor Swift treadmill strut was devised by Alice Bennett (opens in new tab), who puts together treadmill workouts (or struts, in her words) to the music of popular artists. Bennett has since amassed a whopping 300,000 followers on TikTok and her Taylor Swift workout currently has 3.6 million views on the platform, and for good reason. The workout requires you to walk for 36 minutes, increasing the intensity with each song....
But there’s also a group of extra special winners, and those are our Hero Awards recipients. The Hero Awards recognize big-picture innovation — the things that made a huge impact in the tech space. We’re talking about the best brand of the year, amazing efforts in diversity and sustainability, and more. It was incredibly rewarding for Tom’s Guide as a team to select the winners of the Hero Awards. Better yet, we had the chance to speak with a number of the recipients about what made their company, product or services stand out....
Currently, Keeper is taking 40% off all Unlimited and Family plans (opens in new tab). After discount, you can get a Keeper Unlimited 1-year plan for $20.98 (was $34.99) or a Keeper Family (five users) plan for $44.98 (was $74.99). Keeper is one of the best password managers we’ve reviewed. In our Keeper password manager review we found the service to be dependable, inexpensive, and very secure. Although Keeper has a free tier, we recommend upgrading to the paid plan as it offers everything in the free plan plus syncing across unlimited devices on all platforms, secure record-sharing, priority 24/7 support, and emergency access for family members in case you are ever incapacitated....
Optimus Prime was seen in action at CinemaCon 2022 (the convention for film distributors), supposedly looking like a blend of the Michael Bay and G1 designs according to a report (opens in new tab). Anthony Ramos was shown reacting to chaos and driving Porsches, while being surrounded by six of the same car around him. As a reward for this long wait, we’ve learned that this is only the beginning of a new run of Transformers movies....
So far, there’s four series of TVs announced — the D-Series, V-Series, MQ6-Series and all-new Vizio M-Series Quantum X that pulls a few tricks from the brand’s more expensive P-Series Quantum X playbook. There’s also a Dolby Atmos soundbar for $799. All models in the lineup are smart TVs that use Vizio’s proprietary SmartCast TV platform, support Wi-Fi 6E and will come with a voice remote — a handy upgrade on the standard remote that has come with Vizio TVs in years past....
The good news for Dallas, though, is that it managed to score 30 more points in game 2 than game 1. Unfortunately, Golden State also upped its total, winning 126 to 117. And in the first half, it seemed like Doncic had cracked the code. Loud and proud and winning (up 72-58) on the road and in Steph Curry’s house, the Mavericks were looking like they could tie things up....
According to a Huobi report (opens in new tab), almost 30% of U.S. adults own crypto. At the same time, 40% say they’re either “not very knowledgeable” or “not at all knowledgeable” about the digital form of currency. In other words, even crypto investors are in the dark. That helps explain why in March 2021 — when Bitcoin was near its all-time high price— 62% of crypto investors (opens in new tab) believed crypto would make them rich....
If your wireless connection keeps dropping in and out or you just can’t connect to your home network in parts of your house, you likely have a Wi-Fi dead zone or even a few. While the range of your Wi-Fi router can lead to dead zones, so too can radio interference. Maybe you have large appliances like a refrigerator or a microwave near your router or your home has thick, concrete walls....
Why such affection for the iPhone SE? Because in an era when phone screens have grown more comically oversized, the iPhone SE has kept things sensibly compact. You could slip it in and out of your pocket with ease, while your friends had to hire sherpas to tote around their Max and Ultra and Plus-sized monstrosities. The fact that the iPhone SE was Apple’s cheapest iPhone by far also appealed to me, a notorious cheapskate who hates spending money even more than dealing with super-sized mobile devices....
Wolves kicked off 2022 in solid form, earning impressive victories over Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur, but the Midlands side’s push for European qualification has stumbled in recent weeks. Wolves are currently on a three-game losing streak and while defeats to Arsenal and West Ham can be explained away, the side’s most recent defeat to Crystal Palace was a real blow. Wolves now sit in 8th position in the Premier League table, which most fans would likely view as a disappointment if the side ultimately finishes there at the end of the season....
The trickle of AirTag stalking reports we noticed last month has turned into a flood, with at least 10 different women across the U.S. in recent weeks saying their iPhones notified them that unknown Apple AirTags had been following them. All the women had been in public places, including gyms (opens in new tab) and shopping malls (opens in new tab). Not all the rogue AirTags ended up being located, but a New York woman said she found one in her coat pocket (opens in new tab), and two other AirTags were found hidden on women’s cars (opens in new tab)....
