Every major CES 2024 tech announcement
LG Labs’ DukeBox charms among CES 2024 concept tech
As part of its experimental concept device division, LG Labs showed off a bunch of slick devices, including the utterly charming DukeBox. It’s a highly fancy speaker using vacuum tube technology that you can see in action thanks to a transparent OLED screen.
There’s also the Bon Voyage camping trailer that takes the concept of glamping to a whole new level. Not everything on display at CES 2024 will ever see a public release, yet it’s a cool way of seeing what’s possible with technology
Samsung QN900D TV aims to make everything look 8K via AI
Samsung’s latest range of TVs aims to improve upscaling quality and the ability to reduce motion blur when watching fast-moving action like sports. There’s also a new game controller for playing games via the cloud and premium soundbars on the way.
LG Gram Pro is an extremely light 16-inch laptop with RTX graphics
Among the new laptops from LG, there’s a Guinness World Record: the lightest 16-inch 2-in-1 laptop. It’s a hyper-specific record but an indication of the increasing portability coming to larger laptop sizes.
These laptops are also some of the first to wield the new Intel Core Ultra Processors, notable for housing a built-in neural processing unit. AI is the current tech trend, of course.
Flashy Samsung Odyssey OLED G9 gaming monitor gets smarter
Just before CES 2024 kicked off in earnest, Samsung revealed its latest OLED gaming monitor range. For the first time in its Odyssey OLED series, there are now two flat-screen displays: the G8 and G6.
Meanwhile, the Odyssey OLED G9 has been refreshed. Alongside the G8, it now includes more smart features, including the ability to seamlessly access and copy content from compatible Samsung mobile devices.
Stylish LG CineBeam Qube 4K projector brings style to CES 2024
One of the nicest-looking devices shown at CES 2024 so far, the LG CineBeam Qube projector looks great and has impressive specs to boot. Other than its stylish looks, the 4K projector can beam up an image of up to 120 inches. Not bad for a petite little thing.
Samsung’s Bespoke Jet Bot Combo auto-detects messy stains
Its vacuum cleaners already have floor-detection technology, so it makes sense that Samsung’s robot vacuum follows suit. Revealed ahead of CES 2024, the Bespoke Jet Bot Combo can not only detect different rooms and automatically designate no-go zones, but it also cleverly recognises stains.
Like many premium robot vacuum and mopping devices, it packs a fair bit of self-cleaning tech too. Less time spent cleaning the house and the mop? A good outcome for anyone who wants to spend less time cleaning.
Wireless LG M4 OLED TV brings cable-free future closer
Wireless TVs aren’t an entirely new concept, although it’s fast becoming a more realistic future. In addition to its OLED and QNED range, LG showed off the M4 OLED TV, which will be available in a 65-inch version.
Previous models have only come in larger sizes, along with the corresponding price tag. With a smaller model on the horizon, there might soon be a more affordable cable-free TV option in stores. The fact that it handles 4K 144Hz signals wirelessly is pretty damn neat.
Belkin brings Qi2 auto-tracking accessories to CES 2024
As the better Qi2 wireless charging protocol rolls out, Belkin announced several chargers and power banks that take advantage of the technology. There’s also a 200W four-port USB-C GaN charger on the way, ideal for charging multiple devices at the same time.
For creators, Belkin has a new version of its auto-tracking phone stand out later this year. Named the Stand Pro, it offers a convenient way of filming videos and taking photos of yourself when no one else is around to help out. An added benefit is that it’s the first Apple-verified Works with DockKit accessory. Put in plain English, it should be pretty good at subject tracking.
New Dell XPS line-up promises bold design and AI integration
In one of the first computing announcements of CES 2024, Dell revealed its refreshed XPS laptops. Powered by Intel Core Ultra processors, the devices come with the new Copilot key, a shortcut to Microsoft’s AI features.
Other than the popular XPS 13, Dell now has a 14 and 16-inch version if you need more screen real estate. There are plenty of display and graphics options too, with the XPS 16 supporting up to an RTX 4070 GPU.
Big 15-channel LG S95TR soundbar coming in 2024
Before revealing its TVs, LG spent some time highlighting its upcoming soundbar systems. Led by the flagship LG S95TR, the range focuses on tight integration with the brand’s TV range. Of the top-of-the-range model’s 15 channels, five are designated as up-firing, intended to create the effect of audio surrounding you with Dolby Atmos-compatible content.
