  • HP 27 XQ Quad HD Gaming Monitor

    HP 27 XQ Quad HD Gaming Monitor

    Desktop gaming is slowly gaining traction in India. As the demand for high-end computing products and accessories rise, companies start supplying these devices in India as well. HP has launched a 4K gaming monitor in the country which is called the HP 27 XQ. It is a Quad HD gaming monitor with a 144 Hz refresh rate.

    Size & Features

    In terms of design, the HP 27 XQ has thin top, left and right bezels while the bottom bezel is quite thick. The bottom bezel of the gaming monitor carries HP branding and a small green coloured LED-lit bar. As the name suggests, the HP 27 XQ has a 27-inch display panel with a resolution of 2560 x 1440 px and an aspect ratio of 16:9.

    The HP 27 HQ measures 596.74 x 335.66 mm and tips the scale at 6.1 kilograms. It has an adjustable height base which can go all the way up to 131.39 mm. It also has a 100 x 100 VESA mount which is a flat display mounting interface. Therefore, the user can attach the monitor to any VESA stands or arms that the user might already own. The HP 27 XQ has a horizontal viewing angle of 170 degrees and a vertical viewing angle of 160 degrees.

    Most notably, the HP 27 XQ uses a TN panel with a 144 Hz refresh rate. In comparison, the regular non-gaming specified monitors have a refresh rate of 60 Hz. This higher refresh rate of the gaming monitor provides a smooth and fluid viewing experience. The gaming monitor has a brightness level of  350 nits which produces deep colour contrasts. The monitor has an Anti-glare display panel and Low blue light mode which keeps the eyestrain at bay even during long gaming sessions.

    Another noteworthy feature that the HP 27 XQ has is the support for AMD FreeSync technology. FreeSync is the name for an adaptive synchronization technology for LCD displays. FreeSync certified displays support a dynamic refresh rate which helps to reduce tearing and stuttering that is caused by misalignment of the content’s frame rate.

    I/O Ports & Controls

    The control buttons of the HP 27 XQ including the power button, brightness button along with a green LED are placed at the right side of the bottom edge. The rear of the gaming monitor harbors the HDMI port and one DisplayPort. To secure the monitor to a desk, the rear of the monitor also has a Kensington lock. However, the Kensington lock cable is sold separately. The 40-watt trapezium shaped port that accepts power is also placed on the back side of the monitor. The gaming monitor also supports analog headphone audio output via rear mounted 3.5 mm audio jack.

    What’s In The Box And Price

    • A/C power cable (1.8m) 5.9 ft
    • HDMI cable(1.8m)5.9ft
    • Warranty card

    The HP 27 XQ gaming monitor is available both online and offline at a price of Rs 30,000.

  • LG To Launch A TV Which Rolls Up Like A Piece Of Paper

    LG To Launch A TV Which Rolls Up Like A Piece Of Paper

    Earlier this year, LG had showcased a Television which rolls up just like a movie poster. The company demonstrated the rolling mechanism and its multiple uses. While the technology had grabbed many eyeballs, not many expected it to come into production, especially not this soon. Now, reports suggest that LG will be launching a production variant of the same next year. 

    The need for a breakthrough innovation has been long due in the TV industry and LG might have just cracked the code with this one. The TV that has been demonstrated is a 65-inch rolling display with a retracting panel that is operated using a remote. At the press of a button, it emerges out of a base which houses it and also automatically rolls back down.

    The uses of such a display are many, as envisioned by the company. The biggest advantage is that of adjusting aspect ratios. You can quickly switch from a 16:9 aspect ratio to a 21:9 aspect ratio. Depending on the nature of content and how you prefer to watch it. The large 65-inch screen will ensure that you get a great viewing experience. Even with a part of the screen rolled down. Adding to this is the 4K resolution that the display offers, which claims to give a great cinematic experience.

    The base at the bottom is to hide the technology behind the display, according to company officials. The TV sports an OLED display, which will fold more easily than traditional LCD panels. The company also hopes that this boosts their share in the TV market, and also sets them apart from their competition. With not so much happening in this segment over the past few years, we are excited to see how this product will find a place in the homes of consumers when it goes on sale next year.

  • Google Files Patent To Make Foldable Displays Durable

    Google Files Patent To Make Foldable Displays Durable

    Google is a company that is not limited to one particular field or industry. Being in the hardware space for a long time with devices like Nexus and Pixel phones, Pixel tablets and such the company has recently filed for a patent that intends to improve the durability of foldable displays. It seems that the patent is not meant for just one single device but it rethinks how foldable displays are made and operate. The patent details three different types of solutions which can improve the durability of a foldable display panel.

    Limitations Of Foldable Displays

    The currently showcased displays by major companies like Samsung and LG make use of flexible material that is engineered to have high tensile and compressive strength. Every flexible display is rated to bend to a certain degree without experiencing permanent damage. If the display is bent beyond that degree it loses its capability to retract to its original state. Google, however has filed patents for three mechanisms that approach this issue from a completely different perspective.

    Google’s Patents

    The patent filed by Google includes three different approaches to making a highly durable foldable display.

    • Low Stretch Fibres- The first type of display has an additional layer of stretchable fibres. The stretchable fibres prevent it from bending after a certain degree. It involves arranging the low stretch fibres in such a manner that ensure that they reach their limit of elasticity before the display is bent beyond its minimum bend radius.
    • Memory Metal Display- This patent has thin wires of a memory metal which is arranged in a grid layout behind the actual display panel. Memory metal is a metal alloy which when bent has the ability to restore back to its original state when one exposes it to a certain temperature. In simple words, attaching such a metal mesh to a foldable display will allow it to spring back to its unfolded state.

    • Non-Newtonian Fluid Display- A non-newtonian fluid is a fluid that does not follow Newton’s law of viscosity. That is constant viscosity independent of stress. Such gel or fluid can be infused with electro-active materials like polymer-metal composites. Electric current and voltage can be used to limit the bending radius of screens having this fluid. Therefore allowing companies to make foldable displays that have a high durability.

    The patents are just a concept as of now. But the ideas look promising and can be shaped into real life future technologies.

  • Samsung To Launch A Smartphone With A Flexible Display

    Samsung To Launch A Smartphone With A Flexible Display

    It seems like Samsung has been bitten by an innovation bug recently as reports of new patents by the company are surfacing every day. It is well known that Samsung is working on new technologies for their OLED displays to produce a smartphone with a truly bezel-less display. The most recent report says that the tech giant will soon launch a smartphone with a flexible display. This display apparently wraps around the device, all the way to the back!

    Display, Everywhere

    The NLO (Netherlands Patent Office) and the WIPO (World Intellectual Property Office) have made public a patent by Samsung. The patent lists a ‘Flexible display of electronic device and method for operating the same’. This means that the display of the device will not only extend to the sides of the phone, but also on to the back, making this a device with a display all around it. The images in the patent explain how the technology works. They show us not only how the device will look but also about what functions it can perform.

    As seen in the images, the device has slight edges on both the top and bottom. There appears to be what will act as a power button, on the top of the device. The images do not show the presence of any other physical buttons, instead, the curved sides double up as control panels. The illustration shows options such as music control, menus while watching videos and zoom capability while taking photos.

    The patent also explains that other than these sides which can be used for all the apps. There are some app specific advantages of the unique design as well. For example, during gaming, the screen will have floating buttons on the top in landscape mode. These floating buttons will be clear of the main screen and will give a gamepad like experience to the user.

    The patent also details other uses of the wrap-around display. Such as the ability to use two apps at once without quitting either of the two. And also arranging emails on the front display and opening and replying to one specific email on the back. Another feature is calling someone with one screen and using the GPS on the other screen. The patent also reveals that the device will be smart enough to understand whether the user is holding it in the left or right hand.  It will then be placing the on-screen buttons accordingly, for added convenience.

    Just Another Patent?

    The features listed in the patent are a fresh and welcome change in terms of smartphone innovation. But, it is tough to say whether we will see this becoming a reality any time soon. Various smartphone manufacturers, including Samsung have been known to hold on to a lot of their patented technologies. And we rarely see them make their way to retail models. For now, we can just hope that Samsung works on integrating a part of this technology, if not the entirety, into an upcoming smartphone.

  • Corning Gorilla Glass 6 Is The Next Generation Of Glass Panels

    Corning Gorilla Glass 6 Is The Next Generation Of Glass Panels

    When we talk about displays and glass panels, Corning is the top manufacturer that comes to mind. Corning is an American tech company with its headquarters in Corning, New York. The company specializes in manufacturing glass and ceramic materials. In a press release on the 19th of  July, Corning announced the latest in its Gorilla glass series, the Corning Gorilla Glass 6.

    The first version of Corning Gorilla Glass was designed specifically with the first generation of iPhones in mind. Although Apple has never officially claimed to use Corning glasses on their smartphones. The company demanded a strong glass material which would not only be durable but also responsive. Which is how Corning Gorilla Glass came to be. Since then, the company has made display and body panels for other companies like Samsung.

    Corning Gorilla Glass 6
    Wooden Finish On Gorilla Glass 6

    The Corning Gorilla Glass 6 will allow users to customize the way they want to use the glass. They can use it for displays, or as textured back panels. The best part is, Corning will do the designing and texturing of the glass for the company.

    Corning Gorilla Glass 6
    Glass Customization

    With the increased demand for smartphones, the demand for their durability is also increasing. Coring has been developing glass panel technology since 2008 when it launched the first generation of Gorilla Glass Panels. Corning announced the second generation of the Gorilla glass four years after the first version, in 2012. With each passing year, Corning claims that it has not only worked on the durability of the glass panel, but also on its methodology of developing them.

    The latest Corning Gorilla Glass 6 can survive up to 15 drops from a height of 1 meter onto rough surfaces. This is twice the durability as compared to Corning Gorilla Glass 5 which could survive only 80% of drops from relatively the same height.

    Corning Gorilla Glass 6
    Various Versions Of Gorilla Glass

    Smartphones like the OnePlus 6, Nokia 8 Sirocco, and the LG G7 ThinQ use the Corning Gorilla Glass 5. Now that smartphone manufacturers are embracing full glass-body design, it is important that the material can survive rough use. The American company claims that Corning Gorilla Glass 6 is suitable for such scenarios. The glass will provide scratch resistance, optical clarity, wireless charging capabilities and enhanced durability.

    Corning claims that the Gorilla Glass 6 is durable enough to be used without a case. Since the company is already providing an option to customize the glass to give it the desired design, the need of case wouldn’t arise in the first place.

    It is quite coincidental that Corning announced the Gorilla Glass 6 before the launch of Galaxy Note 9 and the new iPhone line up. We believe that these smartphones could feature the Corning Gorilla Glass 6 in the form of a display as well as the back panel.

    In a smartphone, a display is its most used parts by a user. Which is why it is important for manufacturers to use a durable material. Once the Corning Gorilla Glass is officially available, it will be interesting to see how well it does.

  • Thomson To Launch A New Smart TV On The 12th Of April

    Thomson To Launch A New Smart TV On The 12th Of April

    Thomson has sent out an invitation for the launch of a new TV in India on the 12th of April. The company might partner with either Amazon or Flipkart to sell these smart televisions. Thomson has a history of 120 years in television making. In fact, the company sold a record number of televisions in India in the 90s. Though the company has enjoyed success in the Indian market in the past, companies like Xiaomi and its Mi TV 4 have now set the benchmark for affordable smart TVs in India.

    The company has a comprehensive series of smart televisions in Europe. The company currently sells A3, A4, A5, A6, B3, B6 and C64 series of smart televisions in Europe with a starting price of 195 Euros. As of now, there is no information about the products that might launch in India. Considering the market competition, the company is most likely to launch a couple of 4K smart televisions. Whether these will be affordable or premium priced TVs, we don’t know yet.

    Xiaomi recently launched the Xiaomi Mi TV 4 with 4K HDR display in India for a price of Rs 39,999. Additionally, the company also launched the Xiaomi Mi TV 4A 32 inch and 53 inch for a price of Rs 13,999 and Rs 22,999 respectively. These smart televisions have disrupted the television market, by offering such features at a very affordable price. Similarly, Vu has also launched three new 4K LED television in India exclusively on Flipkart. The Vu televisions run on stock Android TV UI.

    Though Xiaomi Mi TV 4 offers great value for money. However, they are doomed by their own flash sale strategy, where it is very difficult to buy them. If Thomson can launch a smart television at a competitive pricing, the company can start off its second innings like a pro.

  • Xiaomi Mi TV 4 55″ Vs Vu 43″ Android TV: Specs Comparison

    Xiaomi Mi TV 4 55″ Vs Vu 43″ Android TV: Specs Comparison

    Just like smartphones, televisions have evolved from CRT to Plasma to LED to Quantum DOT. Presently, televisions with Quantum DOT display are on an expensive side and most of the consumers are looking for an LED TV, which offers a great value for money.

    Xiaomi recently launched the Xiaomi Mi TV 4 in India for Rs 39,999. The television comes with a 55 inch UHD 4K LED display with 4K resolution and HDR 10 capability. Similarly, Vu has also launched a new Vu Android TV for Rs 36,999. The television comes with a 43 inch UHD 4K LED display.

    Features

    The Xiaomi Mi TV 4 has a 55 inch backlit LED display with UHD 4K resolution. Similarly, the Vu TV comes with 43 inch display with the same 4K UHD display. The Mi TV 4 is HDR 10 compatible, which is an advantage over the Vu’s offering. However, if you are looking for a high-resolution display with a smaller screen size, then you would like the Vu TV 43 inch.

    Xiaomi Mi TV 4

    The Vu TV 43 inch runs on Android TV OS based on Android 7 Nougat. However, the Xiaomi Mi TV 4 runs on PatchWall UI, based on Android 6 Marshmallow. Choosing between these OS should be as simple as choosing between custom and stock Android smartphones. The Vu TV comes with Google play store and natively supports YouTube, Netflix, and Amazon Prime. However, though the Mi TV 4 has an option for sideloading APK’s none of them actually worked on our review unit. The Vu TV also comes with ActivVoice Line, which is the Vu’s term for voice control, which is missing on the Xiaomi’s counterpart. However, unlike Xiaomi Mi TV 4, there is no smart analogue and digital TV integration.

    Specifications

    The Xiaomi Mi TV 4C 40 inch has a Full HD 1920 x 1080px LCD display. Under the hood, the TV is powered by Amlogic Quad-core chipset with 1GB RAM and 8GB storage. In fact, this is the same chipset that is used in the Xiaomi Mi TV 4, which launched in India for Rs 39,999.

    The smart TV has a selective set of ports, including a dual HDMI port, AV ports, analogue signal DTMB, and an ethernet port. Similarly, the TV also supports Bluetooth 4.2 LE and dual-channel Wifi.

    The TV is based on Android TV OS with the custom PatchWall User interface. The PatchWall is a unique user interface, which displays curated shows based on the user’s interest. Similarly, the company has partnered with the online streaming service providers to offer free content.

    Conclusion

    This is a bang for your buck smart TV with a price tag of Rs 17,500. However, there is no confirmation if the voice command feature will trickle down to Xiaomi’s other markets like India. In fact, Xiaomi is expected to launch the Mi TV 4C or the Mi TV 4A in India with a similar set of specifications on 7th of March. But, whether the voice command feature will make its way to the TV is yet to be seen.
