iPhone 11 vs. iPhone X: Cameras, battery and all the specs compared
When the iPhone X was unveiled to the world in the fall of 2017, Apple CEO Tim Cook called it “the biggest leap forward since the original iPhone.” That’s partly because at the time, the iPhone X was Apple’s largest phone yet, complete with an overhauled design.

Rolling into the holiday season, Epson has launched several new and updated home theater projectors that span from $600 to $1,000.

We won’t be wearing our magic Tony Stark AR smartglasses this year, or the year after, or maybe not even the year after that. Although Facebook is already working on smartglasses with Luxottica, those won’t be world-sensing mixed reality devices yet.

Read More »Home theater projectors: 6 things to know before you buy
Projectors are better than TVs. There, I said it. I mean, the picture quality on a projector isn’t as great as a TV at the same price. And you need a dark room. And they’re kinda loud.

Ultrawide curved monitors are still rare enough that they turn heads. Literally, because at 40 inches or more, you have to turn your head to take it all in.

Other than your character meeting an untimely end, nothing takes you out of an immersive game quicker than screen tearing where elements of a particular scene don’t line up.

If one LCD is good, two is better, right? I’m not talking about two TVs in one room, though that’s cool too. In the ongoing effort to improve picture quality of LCDs, companies like Hisense and Panasonic are working on dual-LCD, or what could probably be more accurately called dual-layer LCD.
