Bob Ankosko  |  Mar 21, 2022
Update (March 23, 2022): It turns out the S95B OLED TV model, one of the many models covered in the recent Samsung news release announcing pre-order status for its 2022 TVs, will actually be the first QD OLED TV to hit the U.S. market if Samsung hits its target April delivery dates.

Samsung’s Freestyle Reimagines Video Projection
Bob Ankosko  |  Jan 07, 2022
We love finding products that are unusual or, even better, unique or trailblazing. Samsung’s Freestyle fits the bill in the way it reimagines and expands on the notion of video projection. The curious device looks like a freestanding light can you might pick up at Home Depot — which it is — but it’s also a “point-and-play” video projector and smart speaker, all rolled in one.

San Diego Startup Previews Unique Wireless OLED TV
Bob Ankosko  |  Dec 22, 2022
