Sure do look like shades.
GE Lighting is launching smart shades at CES that come in at a pretty reasonable (for motorized shades, at least) $299.99. They're not the cheapest smart shades out there. SwitchBots start at just $199, but they're still quite a bit more affordable than Lutron's, which start at $399. They should look pretty sleek, too, since they hide all their mounting hardware....
CES is poised to be the story of RGB LED, with almost every major TV manufacturer set to show off their latest models using the technology. But TCL is hoping to change that narrative, or even overtake it, with its own story - that of the X11L SQD-Mini LED TV.
The X11L uses blue LEDs for its backlight, much like current mini-LED TVs, but it includes two important color improvements -...
Just look at how unnaturally engaged and alert the children are in these unsettling concept images.
Smart calendars can be a boon for busy families that have room for them, but Cozyla's latest concept is pushing that to the limit if you're short on space. The 55-inch Cozyla Calendar Plus Max announced at CES is a Wi-Fi-enabled 4K touchscreen display on a wheeled stand, which Cozyla says is...
Now you can generate AI slop directly on your TV.
Gemini on Google TV is getting a major update that makes the AI assistant more helpful and more visually engaging. The big highlights are obviously the addition of Nano Banana and Veo support for creating AI videos and images directly on your TV. This can be anything from modifying your family photos for a laugh to creating "original" video...
Vex is a stubby little critter that comes in a few different colors.
For a long time, tech companies have pitched pet cameras as a way to find out what your furball is up to when you're not home. Vex, a new robot companion launched at CES this week, takes that a step further: it follows your pet around, filming as it goes, and uses AI smarts to stitch together a video from the footage.
Vex...
The Birdbuddy 2 goes for $199.
Birdbuddy is introducing two new smart bird feeders: the flagship Birdbuddy 2 and the more compact, cheaper Birdbuddy 2 Mini aimed at first-time users and smaller outdoor spaces. Both models are designed to be faster and easier to use than previous generations, with upgraded cameras that can shoot in portrait or landscape and wake instantly when a bird lands...
A tablet wherever your phone goes.
Holding the Z TriFold confirmed my suspicions: It's a tablet with a phone attached. And after spending an hour folding and unfolding it, I'm pretty much ready to trade in the single-hinge foldable I've been carrying for the past couple of weeks.
I used the Google Pixel 10 Pro Fold over the holidays as my daily driver and I can probably count on one hand...
Family Hub fridges are getting a new hands-free feature.
Samsung's latest update to its Family Hub smart fridge line adds a feature I've always wanted - voice-activated door opening and closing.
Using the device's built-in Bixby voice control, you will soon be able to say "Shut the fridge door," or "Open the door," and your machine will obey.
According to a press release from Samsung at...
The LG OLED evo W6 Wallpaper TV.
The amazingly thin wallpaper design from LG is back. The first Wallpaper TV was released back in 2017, and it's been six years since we saw the last one. But LG has revived the product line with the LG OLED evo W6, and I've seen it here at CES.
The TV body is only 9mm thick (which is actually a bit more than the last model), thanks to a completely...
Xthings is rolling into CES with a bunch of new gear, including two new smart locks and a few smart security cameras. It's definitely the Ultraloq Bolt Sense that's the most intriguing of the bunch, however. It's a relatively compact smart deadbolt that combines facial recognition with palm vein authentication for touch-free access, without resorting to an app.
While palm scanning is...
