Typing on a TV sucks. Those long and / or scrambled on-screen keyboards are both a nuisance to use, and a real problem for anyone wanting to make stuff for your TV.

At CES 2025, I was just introduced to a better way. It’s made by a company called Direction9, which has been working on the system for about a year, and it starts with a very old way of typing: T9. T9 was...

Samsung announces The Frame Pro: could this be the perfect TV?

The company created a sensation by making TVs that look more like art and less like tech. With The Frame Pro, Samsung is trying to deliver the best of both worlds.

Samsung’s The Frame has been enormously popular ever since its release. There’s no shortage of imitators at this point, with other manufacturers trying their hand at creating a TV that seamlessly blends in with home decor and can also convincingly look like wall art when idle. But none have captured lightning in a...

Samsung goes big on anti-glare screens and AI with 2025 TV lineup

With its new lineup of TVs, Samsung is making a decision that I think might prove somewhat divisive. The company is bringing the matte, glare-free display technology that debuted on last year’s S95D OLED to several more models — including its flagship Mini LED sets. Here at CES 2025 in Las Vegas, Samsung is showcasing all of its latest TVs at its annual First Look event.

The new S95F QD-OLED gets blazingly bright, likely using a just-announced Samsung Display panel that’s...

Collin Morikawa had an honest, not-safe-for-work reaction to Hideki Matsuyama’s record setting performance.

Good for Collin Morikawa for saying what he was thinking.

Morikawa, who finished three strokes behind Hideki Matsuyama at 32-under par, had a rather blunt response when asked about his playing partner’s performance.

I was not at all impressed with the Circular Ring Slim.

But for CES 2025, the company behind the ring says it’s here to redeem itself with the $380 Circular Ring 2.
