We have been promised rollable OLED TVs for a whole now and LG demoed the tech properly last year at CES.
This year they have officially announced the Signatures Series OLED TV R. The is relatively normal for most of its spec it is a 65-inch 4K OLED display though it will include support for 120FPS. It is powered by the Alpha 2 processor and runs WebOS which adds support for Amazon’s Alexa virtual assistant like their other TVs for this year.
However unlike any other TV on the market, this TV is rollable just like we saw last year. So when the TV is not in use it rolls up the screen for storage in the base. Alternatively you can have a slither of screen remain out which can then be used for controlling music, or displaying a clock, family photos or soothing digital patterns.
They make use of the base by fitting it with a 100-watt Dolby Atmos speaker system.
The TV is good for 50,000 rolls but there are obviously several more points of failure here compared to a traditional TV.
The is no price information but it will no doubt cost a fortune, there is also no official availability, but it will launch this year.
While I love the concept I don’t feel like the added cost and potential hardware problems will be worth it just to be able to hide your display

Back in the olden days of landlines, it was possible to block your phone number from showing up by dialling 1471 before the number. I used to do this quite frequently whenever a call came through that I did not recognise. I’d block my ID and call back to see who it was. Nowadays, we…

I was previously impressed with the performance of the Blurams Outdoor Pro, the affordable camera is one of the few AI facial recognition cameras on the market and it was quite accurate, much better than standard motion detection. Blurams are now taking that tech and shoving it in a smart doorbell and to make things…
Akarina recently sent me the Akarina 01 starter kit to review. Due to plants being annoyingly slow to grow, it will likely be weeks before I can do a full review, but I thought it would be worth posting about this now as this would make a good Christmas present for some people. Neither me…
I feel like I have been hyped about the Nokia 9 for years, the Nokia 8 was launched back in 2017 and was the last proper high end device Nokia launched. The Sirocco came after but it was the same device but a different screen. Long delays in the world of tech is never a…
