CES 2020 may have seen the introduction of actual 8K TVs but sadly the content is still nonexistent. Yet that doesn’t stop companies from announcing support for 8K: First it was Denon, and now it’s fellow Sound United brand Marantz. Marantz has revealed its 2020 line of AV receivers at prices between $1,099 and $3,199. …

The year started with some great laptop announcements at CES 2020 — from the first with 5G wireless to dual-screen concepts. Despite some delays and shortages, many of those options are now available. So we — CNET’s Dan Ackerman, Lori Grunin and I — picked a few of our favorites that we’ve tested so far this year.  This is just …

This story is part of CNET at 25, celebrating a quarter century of industry tech and our role in telling you its story. I knew I wanted to work at CNET the moment Samsung introduced its Galaxy S4 in March 2013. The S4 itself wasn’t the reason — it was a great phone, but that point was lost in the awkward way …

After years of manufacturing LCD-based TVs, Vizio is set to sell its first OLED televisions in fall of this year. They’ll come in 55- and 65-inch sizes priced at a very reasonable $1,300 and $2,000, respectively. That makes them the least-expensive 2020 OLED TVs announced so far, beating the current prices of LG’s 2020 BX series by $200 in both …

Lenovo’s first 5G-capable PC is ready to ship, with Verizon users able to get it on June 18.  First announced back at CES in January, the $1,400 Flex 5G will hit Verizon’s website later this week marking the first time a US carrier is selling a laptop capable of tapping into 5G wireless networks.  The two-in-one computer features a 14-inch …

Twitter is testing new settings that let you choose who can reply to your tweet and join in on your conversation, the company said in a Wednesday blog post. Before you send a tweet, you’ll be able to choose who can reply from three options: everyone on Twitter (which will be the default setting), only people you follow, or only …

Though the hype over 5G has been intense, the reality is that few people have had a chance to really experience the service. The available coverage has been hard to find over the past year, with the broader-ranging networks turning on only at the end of 2019. There’ve been only a handful of compatible devices, and CNET suggested you avoid …

The TiVo Stream 4K is the well-known DVR company’s first piece of hardware that doesn’t have anything to do with recording TV broadcasts. Instead this little box, designed to plug into HDMI and hang from the back of your television, is all about streaming video — and could be a serious competitor to some of our favorite such devices like …

There’s little debate that, as tech pushes further into our lives, we’ll soon be using augmented reality glasses that overlay computer images on the real world. While we still don’t know when that’ll happen, or what companies we’ll be buying them from, investors are making their bets — including a $159 million bet with a small contact lens startup called …

When I started using the SleepWatch app on the Apple Watch a year ago, I intended to mostly compare it to other sleep tracking products I had tried.
