Now, the company has added "affordability" to that equation with its latest model, the $369 P1i. Instead of being detachable like on the P1, its speakers fold out toward listeners, promising better and louder sound than most cheap projectors. The P1i also delivers 1080p video, Google TV for streaming and the same easy screen fit setup as other Anker projectors.
The Mini LED panel itself got an upgrade with 6,000 precision dimming zones for enhanced contrast that rivals OLED TVs, a peak brightness of 6,500 nits for better visibility in bright rooms and direct sunlight, an anti-glare matte screen to reduce the "halo" effect you sometimes see with LED backlighting, and improved LED technology for better color accuracy. A 7,000:1 contrast ratio means you'll get crisp details in dark scenes and inky blacks that make colors pop.
One of the QM8K's most striking features is the complete lack of bezels, giving your entertainment stand a modern and distinctive look. With the included pedestal mount, it almost looks like it's floating, a neat trick for such a well-priced television. While there may be some personal preference when it comes to the interface, we generally feel that Google TV is one of the better options right now, and it supports both Chromecast and Airplay 2, so Apple folks won't feel left out.
TCL introduced the next entry in its flagship line of televisions during CES. The X11L SQD-Mini LED Series is available for pre-order now in three sizes. But like much of the gear on show in Las Vegas this week, it doesn't come cheap. The 75-inch model of the X11L costs $7,000, the 85-inch option is $8,000 and the 98-inch model goes for $10,000. That's more than double the costs of the QD-Mini LED TV the brand unveiled at last year's CES.
The Anker affiliate just unveiled the 1080p Nebula P1i portable projector that's less than half the price and even more portable, albeit with less brightness. Instead of detachable speakers like the Nebula P1, the P1i's speakers are embedded in the projector and can be flipped open and tilted through 180 degrees. It also lacks the P1's tilting projector body and instead offers a stand that can incline the projector from zero to 12 degrees.
Home cinema has never been this affordable. The TCL Projector C1 brings 120-inch screen entertainment to your living room for just $199, making it cheaper than the AirPods Pro, which sounds wild considering one's a tiny pair of earbuds and the other's an entire cinema in your house. This isn't a stripped-down compromise either. The projector packs Google TV, automatic focus, and a built-in battery into a portable package.
The G32 is a Google TV reference remote built by Ohsung Electronics and powered by Swedish startup Epishine's indoor solar cells. This isn't a one-off concept, but a template TV makers can adopt for their own Google TV devices. The goal is a self-charging, maintenance-free remote that never needs disposable batteries and quietly reduces waste in the background while sitting on your coffee table between Netflix binges.
You can now buy TCL's new QM9K series QD-Mini LED TVs, and they run Google TV, are the first to come with Gemini AI, and have a built-in mmWave presence sensor, as reported by 9to5Google. The TVs start at $2,999 for the 65-inch model at Best Buy, with the price going up even more for the bigger versions (up to 98 inches).
It stands vertically, making it perfect for small spaces; it can easily rest on a shelf or be tucked away when not in use. Weighing in at just over 4 pounds, it's noticeably lighter than many other projectors on the market. The founders are avid camping enthusiasts, so it's designed to fit snugly in backpacks, making it convenient to travel and set up in outdoor settings. Plus, it comes with a carrying case.
The KODAK LUMA 500 FHD Ultra Smart Pico Projector offers powerful performance in a compact design, transforming entertainment accessibility for on-the-go lifestyles.
