Project Valerie – The World’s First Triple Monitor Laptop

Posted on by George Mikhaiel

 

Project Valerie is a Razer laptop with three,  4K monitors and a built-in mechanical keyboard. The 17.3-inch monitors slide out automatically of it’s sides of the main screen and adjust it’s angle when the laptop is open. Sadly as with most of Razer’s CES concepts, we don’t know for sure this 12K multi-display laptop will ever be released to market.

The concept takes the 17-inch Razer Blade Pro laptop which is powered by Nvidia’s GeForce GTX 1080 and uses Nvidia’s G-Sync technology and slaps two extra mechanically controlled monitors to it. The co-founder and CEO of razor Min-Liang Tan said in a prepared statement, “The complexities of a traditional multi-monitor setup are a thing of the past with Project Valerie.” Since all the monitors are native, the ability to connect more through the HDMI is still an option.

 

 

The system uses a unibody aluminum chasis that measures 1.5-inches thick and weighs 10 – 12 pounds. It’s unclear if those measurements include the two additional built-in monitors or are just for the base system. Razer has a history showing up to CES, showing off products and taking home awards, but those products don’t always go to market. Instead, Razer likes to use CES as a way to test new ideas and grab a lot of international attention for it’s self and other products it makes.

 

Here’s a video from Razer:

LG’s New Rollable TV

Posted on by George Mikhaiel

 

Last year LG had introduced a rollable TV as a prototype, but now it’s a reality. Consumers will be able to order their very own rollable 4K signature OLED TV sometime this spring. But it doesn’t retail for cheap, this is a premium TV which means it’s going be pretty expensive. The company’s “wallpaper” OLED TV started at $8,000. This is a lot more impressive, which means it will be significantly pricier than that.

 

This TV is here when you need it, and could disappear in seconds if you don’t want it. Not everyone wants a black screen to be the centre of attention in the living room. Manufactures are starting to realize that. Samsung came out with “The Frame” which becomes a piece of art hanging on your wall when not in use.

There’s a mode on the TV where the display will roll down to about one-fourth of the panel. this mode would reveal on-screen music controls and the option to control your smart home gadget.

 

 

 

 

Owning a rollable TV doesn’t mean you sacrifice performance. There is no difference in terms of picture quality between this and a rigid, standard OLED. LG is putting this up along side its other premium products, in terms of contrast, brightness and features. All of the OLED bells and whistles, like perfect blacks, great viewing angles, and a wide variety of vivid HDR colour.

L16 Camera from Light

Tired of lugging a bag full of camera gear around every time you want to take great pictures? Not satisfied  with the images or video you get from your smartphone?  Well Rajiv Laroia, co-founder and CTO of Light,  may have a solution to this problem.

He stated that “I developed the underlying technology for the Light L16 Camera because I was

And I’m still not satisfied with the “good enough” pictures I get from my mobile phone.”

This camera is the first multi-aperture computational camera. With 16 individual camera modules, Light’s technology fuses 10 images into one super high-quality, 52-megapixel image. These images have fantastic depth of field control and incredibly low noise. And the camera offers true optical zoom from 35-150mm while being slim enough to fit in a pocket.
