  • I Found the Perfect Outdoor TVs at CES 2026: a Sylvox Tour

    I Found the Perfect Outdoor TVs at CES 2026: a Sylvox Tour
    Jan 22 2026
    Make a Logo on Fiverr Walking the show floor at CES 2026, one of the most impressive booths for sheer “wow” factor was Sylvox. The company has gone all-in on the idea that your TV shouldn’t be trapped inside your living room anymore. From massive backyard cinema screens to portable, roll-anywhere displays and even emergency-ready TVs, Sylvox is clearly betting big on the future of the outdoor TV. And judging by what I saw, that future is bright—literally. The 110-inch Cinema Pro Helio QLED: A Backyard Theater Dream The star of the booth is impossible to miss: the 110-inch Cinema Pro Helio QLED. This is a full-blown outdoor home theater that looks like it belongs in a luxury backyard with a pool, fireplace, and lounge furniture. Sylvox was even simulating rain on it to prove the point—this is a true IP55 weatherproof TV that doesn’t need to be covered or babied. It’s rated to operate from below -22°F up to 122°F, making it viable for everything from winter football games to summer movie nights. Add Google TV, voice remote control, and a thin, surprisingly lightweight design, and you’re looking at a serious “build your patio around this” kind of display. The Pool Series: A 2,000-Nit Portable Bright Monitor If 110 inches feels like overkill, the Pool Series is all about flexibility. This is a 4K Ultra HD, IP55-rated outdoor TV on wheels, pushing up to 2,000 nits of brightness—bright enough to cut through direct sunlight in the morning or early evening. The big idea here is mobility: roll it out to the pool, the garage, or even down the street for a neighbor’s game night. It handles the same brutal temperature range as the bigger models, and the brightness means you won’t be closing shades or hunting for shade just to see what’s on screen. It’s a great example of Sylvox focusing on “bright monitor” performance as much as ruggedness. The Frameless Series: Ultra-Narrow Bezels for a Premium Look For those who want something sleeker and more architectural, the Frameless Series is Sylvox’s design-forward outdoor TV line. These come in 43, 55, 65, and 75 inches, with an ultra-narrow 1.5 mm bezel and an IP56 rating. They’re available in 1,000-nit and 2,000-nit versions, run Google TV, support Dolby Atmos, and offer wide 178-degree viewing angles. The idea is simple: make an outdoor TV that doesn’t look like an outdoor TV—just a clean, premium screen that happens to survive the elements. The Rolling Touchscreen Monitor: Portrait or Landscape, Anywhere One of the more creative products at the booth is a rolling, battery-powered touchscreen monitor that can switch between landscape and portrait mode. With around 500 nits of brightness, it’s better suited for indoors or covered areas, but the versatility is the real story. It has a built-in camera for video calls, runs Android, and includes a 10,000 mAh battery so it doesn’t need to stay plugged in. It’s easy to imagine this being used in a studio, at events, or even on a covered patio for TikTok-style vertical content. The Deck and Lift Systems: TVs That Disappear When You Don’t Need Them Sylvox is also thinking about integration, not just screens. The Deck Series and lift-based systems let a TV rise out of cabinetry or deck structures at the push of a button, then disappear when you’re done watching. These setups are also IP55-rated and typically around 1,000 nits, and they’re built on a modular, movable foundation system that doesn’t require permanent concrete. It’s a clever solution for people who want a clean outdoor space that transforms into an entertainment zone on demand. The RV and Emergency TVs: Entertainment Meets Preparedness At the other end of the spectrum is the emergency TV, and it might be the most charmingly over-engineered product in the lineup. It’s a small, waterproof TV with AM/FM/SW radio, USB playback, a built-in flashlight, SOS alarm, walkie-talkie, and even a hand crank for power generation. It’s designed for RVs, camping, or emergencies—but it’s also easy to imagine people using it for a tailgate or backyard game when power isn’t readily available. It’s a reminder that Sylvox isn’t just about luxury patios—they’re also thinking about resilience and portability. The Cinema Series: 5,000 Nits and Built for Full Sun Finally, the Cinema Series ties everything together for people who want the absolute best image quality outdoors. These TVs push up to 5,000 nits of brightness, offer 120 Hz refresh rates, Dolby Vision, Dolby Atmos, and even include a built-in subwoofer. They’re designed with heat and UV resistance, blackout prevention, and local dimming to maintain contrast even in extreme sunlight. In other words, this is Sylvox’s answer to the biggest problem with outdoor TVs: making sure you can actually see the picture when the sun is blazing. Why Sylvox Stands Out at CES 2026 At CES 2026, a lot of companies are talking about AI, transparent displays, and ...

  • The Best of Central Hall at CES 2026

    The Best of Central Hall at CES 2026
    Jan 19 2026
    Make a Logo on Fiverr Central Hall is always the heart of CES, and CES 2026 proves once again why this space defines the show. This is where the biggest brands, the boldest concepts, and the most ambitious consumer tech all come together in one place. This year, Central Hall feels like a roadmap for how innovation is becoming more personal, more AI-driven, and more deeply integrated into everyday life. This is a Sponsored Post VIAIM Puts AI in Your Ears One of the most practical examples of CES 2026 innovation comes from VIAIM and its OpenNote headset. These over-ear, open-style AI headphones are designed to keep you aware of your surroundings while giving you access to transcription, voice assistance, and note-taking on the go. The balanced design keeps them comfortable and secure, while features like active noise cancellation, app-based EQ control, and a slim charging case make them feel like a serious productivity tool. With up to 53 hours of total battery life using the case, this is a clear signal that AI-powered wearables are becoming a core part of consumer tech. Alongside it is the VIAIM Rec.Dot, a smaller AI companion device paired with a compact note kit, reinforcing the idea that in CES 2026, AI isn’t just software anymore—it’s something you physically carry with you. D Paul Brings Personality to the AI Assistant D Paul takes the idea of a smart assistant and turns it into something you can actually interact with on a more human level. This tabletop device features an animated character that responds to voice, touch, gestures, and even tracks your head movement using its built-in camera. You can switch characters, change scenes, make calls, and control smart home features, all while the character reacts in real time to what you’re doing. It’s a great example of how CES 2026 is pushing AI beyond simple voice commands and into more visual, emotional, and interactive experiences that feel less like a tool and more like a digital companion. TUYA’s Robot Helpers and Emotional Companions TUYA shows just how far smart home tech has evolved with its AI pet robot. Using advanced navigation, cameras, and sensors, this robot can move safely around your home while tracking your pet’s activity, food, water intake, and overall health. It can even interact with your pet, turning routine care into something far more automated and data-driven. TUYA also showcases smaller emotional companion devices like Pazuzu, which feel like a next-generation, AI-powered digital pet. These little characters can respond to touch, remember past interactions, and offer a surprisingly personal experience, highlighting how CES 2026 is blending robotics, AI, and emotional design. Changhong and ChiQ Go Big on AI Displays Changhong and its ChiQ brand are making a major statement in Central Hall with massive, ultra-thin AI-powered TVs. The 100-inch RGB Mini LED models push extreme brightness, rich color, and powerful built-in sound, all while sitting nearly flush against the wall. With AI-driven picture enhancements and display modes that can turn the screen into artwork, these TVs show how premium displays are becoming both entertainment centers and design elements in the home. This is Central Hall at its best: showing how consumer tech is becoming both more powerful and more seamlessly integrated into everyday living spaces. Hisense Brings the Theater Home with the L9Q Laser TV Hisense is betting big on ultra-short-throw projection with its L9Q Laser TV, turning almost any wall into a massive cinematic display. With enormous screen sizes, high brightness, and a premium audio partnership, the L9Q is clearly designed to deliver a true home theater experience without the complexity of a traditional projector setup. It’s a strong reminder that in CES 2026, big-screen experiences are no longer limited to traditional TVs. My Arcade Taps Into Retro Nostalgia Not everything in Central Hall is about the future—some of it is about reimagining the past. My Arcade’s Atari Game Station packs thousands of classic games into a slim, lightweight console with modern connections and familiar controls. It’s a reminder that even at CES 2026, nostalgia still has a strong place in consumer tech, especially when it’s this easy to pick up and play. Central Hall Sets the Tone for CES 2026 From AI wearables and emotional companion robots to wall-filling displays and cinematic laser projection systems, Central Hall at CES 2026 feels like a concentrated preview of where innovation is headed next. It’s not just about faster or bigger anymore—it’s about smarter, more personal, and more integrated technology that fits naturally into everyday life.

  • Best of CES 2026 Venetian Upper: Startups, Tennis Robots

    Best of CES 2026 Venetian Upper: Startups, Tennis Robots
    Jan 13 2026
    Make a Logo on Fiverr The Venetian at CES 2026 is where innovation feels closest to the show floor, and the upper level in particular delivers a concentrated dose of emerging ideas, practical AI, and a surprising number of robots that actually solve everyday problems. Walking this hall feels like a curated preview of what’s about to hit homes, cars, and offices—less concept, more “you could buy this soon.” From smarter wellness tech to genuinely useful home automation, the Venetian proves why it remains a must-see stop every year. Trevi: Espresso Meets Bathroom Tech Trevi’s booth is the kind of CES mashup that only works here: premium Korean-engineered bathroom wellness products alongside a fully automated espresso machine. The coffee system handles everything from beans to froth with a simple touchscreen, delivering café-style drinks at a fraction of the usual price for machines in this class. Pair that with Trevi’s lineup of smart bidet toilets—complete with heated seats, remote controls, and wellness features—and you get a surprisingly cohesive vision of everyday comfort tech that blends convenience with affordability. KO Corporation: AI-Assisted Body Alignment In the Japan tech area, KO Corporation showed off MySymmetry and The Core, a two-part approach to fixing posture and alignment. MySymmetry uses an app to visualize body misalignment and recommend exercises, while The Core uses smart heel inserts to correct how you stand and walk. It’s a great example of AI being used quietly and practically—less flash, more long-term health benefit—especially for anyone who spends long days on their feet or traveling show floors like CES. Innovation Awards Showcase: A Hall of Future Tech The Innovation Awards area is a highlight reel of CES in physical form. Here you’ll find everything from Nvidia’s latest GPUs to rehabilitation robots, advanced security cameras, smart firefighting robots, and next-gen wearables. It’s also where the robot vacuum and smart home categories continue to evolve, showing how AI is being embedded into devices that clean, monitor, and protect without demanding constant attention. Beatless: Smarter, Cleaner Pest Control From Ukraine comes Beatless, a chemical-free agricultural pest control system designed to protect crops while staying pollinator-safe. Using sensors and targeted deterrence, it supports safer food production and biodiversity at the same time. It’s a reminder that innovation at CES isn’t just about consumer gadgets—it’s also about applying technology to global problems in sustainable ways. ViewReal: MicroLED Everywhere The Ontario, Canada area featured ViewReal’s MicroLED reference design kits, including transparent displays that can be embedded into mirrors, windows, or dashboards. The tech opens the door to subtle, context-aware information displays—think side mirrors that warn about passing vehicles or doors that show “On Air” when you’re recording. It’s a glimpse at how AI and display tech will blend into everyday surfaces without screaming for attention. Voltae: A Friendlier EV Charger Hungary’s Voltae showed a smart EV charger designed to integrate with building management systems and smart homes. With app control, safety monitoring, and future-proofing features, it’s the kind of infrastructure tech that makes electric vehicles easier to live with, not just easier to sell. Wacaco Pixapresso: Espresso on the Go For travelers who refuse to compromise on coffee, Wacaco’s Pixapresso is a battery-powered espresso machine that fits in a bag and can brew on demand. Whether you’re camping or stuck in a convention center with questionable coffee, this is pure CES practicality—small, focused, and surprisingly refined. SwitchBot AceMate: The Tennis Robot That Actually Rallies One of the most fun robots in the hall is SwitchBot’s AceMate, billed as the world’s first tennis robot for real rally play. Unlike simple ball launchers, AceMate moves around the court and returns shots, creating something much closer to a real practice session. It’s a perfect example of robotics moving from novelty to genuinely useful training tools. SwitchBot Onro H1: A Home Robot With a Job Also from SwitchBot, the Onro H1 is a home robot designed to handle chores like picking up laundry, loading the washer, and even folding clothes. Watching it scan a room, adjust its posture, and carry out tasks makes it clear that domestic robotics is finally crossing from demo to deployment. Creality Spark X: AI-Powered 3D Printing Creality’s Spark X series combines multi-material 3D printing with AI monitoring and even photo-to-3D conversion. With less waste, smarter filament handling, and real-time print supervision, it shows how AI is quietly making maker tech more reliable and more accessible.
