TCL Announces New Brand Slogan, 144 Hz Mini LED TVs & All-New Mobile Devices

#4k, Highlights, Home Tech, smarttvs, tcl / /

TCL Electronics (1070.HK), a leading consumer electronics brand, held a series of virtual press events today, where its chairperson and senior executives shared the company’s latest brand slogan “Inspire Greatness” and business developments. The audience was able to see TCL’s smart home products in action, as well as a preview of TCL’s 2022 Mini LED TVs and latest mobile devices.

Visit here to learn more about TCL at CES 2022 and view a recap of the livestreamed announcement.

Message from the Chairperson

Ms. Juan Du, Chairperson of TCL Electronics, speaking at the global virtual press conference, addressed the core philosophies of TCL.

“At TCL, we always put our customers first. Everything we do is focused on bringing value to people by improving their lives and experiences with our products and services. But we can’t do this alone,” said Ms. Du. “We depend on our creative and pioneering employees, on the long-term support of our trusted partners, with whom we work tirelessly together, and most importantly, on our business ethics of integrity and honesty.”

She also shared highlights of the brand’s global business results in 2021 and the innovations that have driven the success of TCL.

Pushing the limits of what’s possible with display technology, TCL founded TCL CSOT in 2009 and has invested nearly US$31 billion to provide consumers with the best quality screens. And caring deeply for the environment, TCL has entered the photovoltaic sector to produce cleaner and greener energy.

Over the years, TCL has been creating a connected smart home ecosystem guided by its AI x IoT strategy. Large-screen TVs should be the entry point to a ‘smart life’ and TCL is continuously innovating and developing new home appliances and mobile devices to help make people’s lives more convenient by inspiring greatness.

“We hope our technology will create solutions so people worry less day-to-day, but also allow them to spend more time having fun with their family and friends,” added Ms. Du. “At TCL, with our products and services, we want to make people’s lives safer and healthier. Ultimately, we wish to inspire and empower people to pursue greatness in their lives.”

2022 TCL Mini LED TVs

Since 2018, TCL has been investing in Mini LED TV technology and is aiming to become the top player in Mini LED TVs within five years.

In 2022, TCL is taking another step forward by applying 144Hz refresh rate to its 2022 premium Mini LED TV models, providing faster responsiveness, sharper imagery, and smoother gameplay. Both competitive gamers who want to experience demanding high FPS games and casual gamers who want to enjoy extra responsiveness in gameplay will appreciate this upgrade. TCL’s 144 Hz Mini LED displays will hugely benefit from faster reaction times and fluidity, giving gamers an important edge, especially in multiplayer games.

In addition to being powered by TCL’s Mini LED technology, this new generation of TVs will elevate the enjoyment of the visuals in games and other action-packed content. With over 1,000 local dimming zones, 2022 TCL Mini LED TVs offer stunning brightness performance, achieving striking contrast and revealing even more details for a truly immersive viewing experience. More details of 2022 TCL Mini LED TVs will be disclosed later in this quarter.

2022 TCL Portable and Smart Devices

As part of its commitment to providing accessible 5G connectivity for all, TCL will launch TCL 30 XE 5G and 30 V 5G, exclusively in the US later this month. These smartphones come with enhanced NXTVISION technology, so customers will enjoy gorgeous visuals and fantastic imagery.

Several new tablets will also be displayed at CES 2022. This includes the TCL NXTPAPER 10s, which comes with a paper-like display that features eye protection at its core; the lightweight TCL TAB 8 4G, ideal for learning and creativity; and the TCL TAB 10L, an immersive tablet perfect for entertainment and productivity. Additionally, a trio of tablets designed with children in mind, the new TCL TKEE series: TCL TKEE MINI, MID, and MAX, will be showcased at the TCL booth.

TCL is excited to expand its product range to laptops for the first time with the launch of the TCL BOOK 14 Go. It’s slim, lightweight, has excellent battery life, and is a great fit for anyone who is constantly moving and traveling since it supports LTE connection.

At CES, TCL will also introduce the next generation of its wearable display glasses, the TCL NXTWEAR AIR. It’s portable, light and slim, with an emphasis on comfort and style. With an exchangeable front lens and much lighter body weight, the NXTWEAR AIR will bring a better experience than the previous generation of wearable display glasses.

To bring about TCL’s connected vision, it will soon launch the LINKHUB 5G router, whilst continuing to deliver high-quality 4G solutions with the LINKZONE LTE Cat4 Mobile Wi-Fi, a compact personal mobile hotspot.

*Devices will be available in selected markets throughout the year.

TCL AI x IoT Smart Home

At TCL, large screen TVs are the entry point to a ‘smart life’. Users can activate the TV TCL Home with just one button on a remote control, making it easy to manage entertainment as well as smart appliances and devices.

Besides the TV, the mobile TCL Home App enables users to control their smart home appliances, such as a TCL air purifier or robot vacuum cleaner, then sit back and enjoy a fresh, clean home.

TCL AI x IoT products and services make your life, work and play more enjoyable and bring you creative inspiration every day.

TINECO TO UNVEIL THE WORLD’S FIRST SMART CARPET CLEANER AT CES

ces2022, Highlights, Home Tech, smart carpet, tineco / /

January 5, 2022• by

Tineco, a pioneer in floor care and smart home appliances, is slated to unveil the world’s first smart carpet and upholstery cleaner – CARPET ONE – at CES 2022 in Las Vegas, taking place January 5th to January 7th. Dedicated to producing innovative technologies that make everyday home appliances easier than ever to use, the introduction of Tineco’s newest Carpet Cleaner Series marks the brand’s expansion into the category, adding to its portfolio of full home floor care cleaning solutions.

Designed to deliver professional carpet cleaning results, the Tineco CARPET ONE Smart Carpet and Upholstery Cleaner is an easy-to-use, tech-enabled appliance that guides users through the cleaning process. Beyond carpet cleaning, the unit has an additional hose and stain-remover tool to clean upholstery, stairs, and other hard-to-reach areas.

The CARPET ONE Smart Carpet and Upholstery Cleaner provides 130AW of ultimate suction and a motor power of 1300W. Further features, unparalleled in the market, include:

HeatedWash Technology: A unique heating panel ensures the water temperature remains consistently high throughout the cleaning cycle.

PowerDry Technology: By the press of a button, water residue is powerfully extracted from surfaces and hot air is continuously blown to the carpet, drastically cutting down the dry time to 30 minutes or less.

DrynessMeter: A humidity sensor detects dampness in real-time and displays the dryness level through a “DrynessMeter” on the LED screen.

Similar to all models in the Tineco ONE series, CARPET ONE is equipped with the brand’s proprietary iLoop™ Smart Sensor Technology that detects messes and automatically applies optional suction power, as well as water volume, for an effective clean. The LED display will notify users when the surface is truly clean as the iLoop™ ring will convert from red when dirty to blue when fully washed.

The series also includes the CARPET ONE PRO, equipped with an advanced LCD screen displaying vivid animations, and iCARPET, a functional yet equally as powerful carpet cleaner.

Launched in September 2021, Tineco’s FLOOR ONE S5 Series will also be on display, including CES® 2022 Innovation Awards Honoree in the smart home appliances category, the FLOOR ONE S5 PRO.

Now available everywhere, the Lili lamp helps dyslexic people to read more easily!

ces2022, dyslexic, Highlights, Home Tech, lamp, lililamp / /

January 4, 2022• by

Customizable, connected and portable, the Lili lamp helps people with dyslexia to read thanks to a patented technology awarded by the French National Academy of Medicine.

Designed for everyday use, the Lili lamp helps dyslexic people of all ages to get access to more fluent and enjoyable reading. Thanks to its patented technology, the Lili lamp allows an immediate and easier decryption of words, while reducing the tiredness experienced during a prolonged reading session. Portable and customizable via a dedicated app, the Lili lamp enables dyslexic people to express their full potential.

Making the lives of people with dyslexia happier is Lili’s ambition!

Lili for Life’s mission is to help people with dyslexia, as its slogan underlines: « With Lili, I read and live again ». With this patented technology, Lili for Life reinforces its ambition to offer a tool that makes reading easier for dyslexic people. According to World Health Organization, 8 to 10% of the world population has dyslexic disorders. Complementary to speech therapy sessions, this tool allows people with dyslexic disorders to progress in both reading and spelling.

How does it work?

Lili for Life has developed a technological device that produces almost imperceptible lights flashes, which correct the “mirror effect”. This innovative patented technology is based on the scientific discovery of two French physicists, Albert Le Floch and Guy Ropars.

Rewarded in 2020 by the French National Academy of Medicine, they discovered that, unlike normal readers, people with dyslexic disorders have two dominant eyes. Therefore, while reading, they see mirror images, which causes an image overlay in their brain and makes reading difficult.

The flashes produced by the Lili lamp create a time lag in the processing of the visual perception of the letters, which removes these image overlays. Therefore, reading becomes more fluent, faster, less tiring, thus allowing a better understanding of the meaning of the text read.

Efficient for nearly 80 % of the Lili lamp users

Between May and September 2021, Lili for Life conducted a beta test on the effectiveness of its Lili lamp on thirty dyslexic people. At the end of the 4-month study, significant improvements in reading and understanding the text were noted for nearly 80% of the users.

The Lili lamp, the ideal tool for all dyslexic people

The Lili lamp has been designed to be as ergonomic as possible. The Lili for Life R&D team has worked on its shape, weight, autonomy, discretion and resistance. Designed to be easily transportable, it has an autonomy of 6 hours.

Foldable, light and supplied with its case, it can be stored easily in a school bag or a handbag to follow its user everywhere.

In order to allow each user to obtain optimized reading comfort, a personalized setting must be made from a smartphone after downloading the Liliforlife application from the Play Store or the App Store. Lili for Life offers its customers free support in this process.

Once set in a personalized way and switched on, no further manipulation is necessary for daily use. Discreet and without visual distractors, the Lili lamp is perfectly suited to school and professional environments.

ces2022, ezviz, Highlights, Home Tech / /

January 4, 2022• by

Compatible with Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant, and IFTTT devices, the Indoor Security Cam allows users to view live streams via the Echo Show/Spot and Google hub devices, all whilst offering a 130-degree viewing angle.

The EZVIZ app allows users to view, listen and speak to visitors, pets, or family members via their smartphone or PC/Mac which means they can check-in at any time.

The intelligent device can also decipher whether some movement doesn’t require an alert, such as pets wandering around at home, thanks to the PIR Sensor. However, when something out of the ordinary does occur, push notifications are sent to the user’s phone to flag that motion has been detected thanks to the heat sensors and settings on the device.

The Indoor Cam comes with a MicroSD slot allowing for up to 256GB of local storage with a MicroSD card (Not included), allowing users to choose the option of continuous recording within the app, giving them constant monitoring as well as just motion detection recording.

connected-living-announces-partnership-with-temi,-a-companion-device-and-telehealth-delivery-robot

Connected Living Announces Partnership With Temi, A Companion Device And Telehealth Delivery Robot

connectedliving, Health Tech, Highlights, Home Tech, robot, telehealth, temi / /

January 3, 2022• by

Connected Living and Temi announce a global partnership in response to the COVID-19 new world, in which the most at-risk population – our seniors – need enhanced ways to interact with family, community, and medical professionals all from a distance. Connected Living is now the U.S. partner and distributor of Temi powered by Connected Living, an interactive robot that’s been introduced to senior living and healthcare facilities.

The partnership with Temi is the latest addition to Connected Living’s comprehensive COVID-19 emergency toolkit, which enables senior living communities to manage outreach across all of its constituents, including those who work and live inside and outside the property. The suite of technology services geared at creating connected communities for seniors, includes a roster of pre-configured iPads, tablets, Alexa-enabled skills, a unique TV channel with programming designed for seniors, and a unique smartphone app that helps them stay more connected with their families and one another.

“We want to protect and connect our senior population, their caregivers, staff and families. Temi allows us to safely check temperatures at the door, set up family and doctor social or health visits, and interact with unlimited engagement content,” said Sarah Hoit, CEO and Co-Founder of Connected Living, which serves hundreds of senior living communities nationwide. “We need to do everything we can to bring health and wellbeing to our clients and to help stop the spread of COVID-19 in senior communities, while creating significant opportunity for socialization and healthcare visits.”

As the need to connect and protect our seniors is heightened during this COVID-19 global crisis, Temi can be used, in conjunction with Connected Living’s full suite of technology, to schedule both family visits and telehealth calls for anyone in the building and record the temperature of people entering the building or of current residents. This reasonably-priced robot, now being offered by Connected Living as the official U.S. distributor to the senior and healthcare market, can also be used as a “companion device” in the room to connect anytime with family, see interactive videos and content and help senior living community managers with “temperature capture.” Temi can also be used to ask for the foodservice menu or as a communication device to share safe, social distancing activities that might be occurring in the building.

One of the most innovative senior living communities in the country, and client of Connected Living, is Connecticut-based, Maplewood Senior Living, who introduced Temi to the marketplace by purchasing 30 robots for their new high-end Inspīr Modern Living community center in Manhattan, along with one additional Temi for use in all their other properties, allowing for immediate interaction with anyone a resident wants to connect with virtually. Temi has been lifting spirits and connecting residents with family members and doctors. “We are committed to continuously innovating the way we do things, and bringing the best of what the market has to offer to our residents,” says Eleonora Tornatore-Mikesh, Chief Experience & Memory Care Officer of Maplewood Senior Living. “While this has always been our commitment, being able to deliver social and emotional visits with family, and/or connect with a doctor in the resident’s room is critical at this time.”

Through vibrant digital screen “faces,” Temi interacts with humans via autonomous navigation, dynamic video, enhanced audio, and advanced artificial intelligence. Within senior living communities, the gender-neutral Temis function as companion devices with virtually endless possibilities for education, healthcare, and entertainment through a proprietary Connected Living Alexa skill.

“The entire concept for Temi came from a visit to my grandmother, when I realized she was struggling to handle her smartphone,” said Yossi Wolf, Temi Co-Founder and Chairman. “Partnering with Connected Living to bring the convenience of personal robots to thousands of other elders is truly the fulfillment of a dream, and knowing that we’re easing the burden on this population is incredibly rewarding. Connected Living is a big part of making this dream come true.”

That comfort level is essential because Temis are playing a vital role in delivering healthcare to seniors on lockdown. The robots have proven useful in connecting residents with family, but also with doctors for remote consultations on non- emergent care.

“Our mission is to do the most work where we can do the most good, so harnessing technology to connect and protect the people we love is our focus.”

Sarah Hoit, CEO & Co-Founder of Connected Living

Connected Living was recently featured in a case study by LeadingAge called, “Improving System-Wide Communication with Connected Living Enterprise Platform During the COVID-19 Crisis.” To request a copy of this case study or if you have a community in need of assistance to learn more about Connected Living and Temi, please email [email protected]

About Connected Living

Based in Quincy, Mass., Connected Living was founded in 2007 to provide technology solutions to senior living communities to help them to deliver compassionate care, and to help seniors and their families to communicate better. The technology encourages resident engagement and inspires our aging population to increase their communication and connection with others to live healthier lives. Hundreds of communities nationwide have worked with Connected Living to increase occupancy, reduce employee turnover, and enhance the quality of life for seniors and their families. For more information about Connected Living, visit https://www.connectedliving.com/ConnectedLiving.com.

About Temi

The Temi Company was founded by CEO Yossi Wolf in 2016. Having established robotics company Roboteam Defense seven years earlier with partner Elad Levy, Yossi decided to change direction to the consumer market and create Temi, the personal robot. Today Temi is a global company with offices in Shenzhen China (production), New York (Marketing & Sales), Tel Aviv (R&D) and Singapore.

ezviz-unveils-the-c8pf-dual-lens-pan-&-tilt-wi-fi-camera

EZVIZ unveils the C8PF Dual-Lens Pan & Tilt Wi-Fi Camera

ces2022, ezviz, Highlights, Home Tech / /

December 31, 2021• by

Following on the success of the previous C8 camera range, EZVIZ, a global innovator in home intelligence, is pleased today to introduce its C8PF 360° pan-tilt-zoom camera.  Winner of the Good Design Award 2020, the C8PF features advanced dual-lens technologies to fulfil an unprecedented 8× mixed zoom for full home protection and provides a picture-in-picture video display mode of both wide and close-up views. It has a compact and modern design which avoids overcomplicating the camera functions making it easy to use for the average homeowner. The launch of the C8PF aims to make commercial-grade security affordable, accessible, and enjoyable for everyone.  The C8PF pan-tilt-zoom camera is available for $169.99 from Amazon.

The C8PF is the world’s very first smart home camera that offers 8× mixed zoom, delivering impressive, non-blurry zoomed in images for extended vision. The integration of a 12mm telephoto lens with a 2.8 mm wide-angle lens means users can take advantage of this advanced feature by using the EZVIZ App to zoom in and out smoothly, thus keeping an eye on what’s important without compromising on image quality or clarity. It also features four infrared lights for great night vision up to 30 meters (98 feet), meaning image quality is not compromised whatever the light conditions.

EZVIZ designed the C8PF to provide useful picture-in-picture display, in both live viewing and video playback modes. The camera captures a large picture on a small window display and allows 4×-zoom to render close-up shots on a full screen without blurring the image. Users can tap to zoom in on 

areas of interest, so as not to miss detail on far-away objects.

Thanks to EZVIZ’s advanced Al technologies, the C8PF reduces false or irrelevant alarms by distinguishing human shapes from pets or objects and the device has the ability to customize detection sensitivity and time schedules to further filter out unwanted alerts. The C8PF comes with a built-in microphone and a speaker, allowing effortless communication to hear and talk to family, welcome visitors, or turn away uninvited guests by simply using a smartphone. 

The C8PF excels in both flexibility and durability. Unlike many bullet cameras on the market with fixed viewing, the pan & tilt design delivers a 360-degree panoramic field-of-view to avoid blind spots, ensuring no suspicious activity is missed. All through easy click-and-drag app controls. The C8PF is fully weatherproof for long-standing performance even in stormy and wet conditions. The camera also has one of the largest on-camera storage capacities in the home security market, up to an impressive 512 GB, thanks to the built-in SD card slot [SD card not included]

Homeowners can enjoy secure local video storage at all times and can record and save all treasured memories on the SD card but with EZVIZ’s CloudPlay service subscription, an additional layer of protection can be added for increased peace of mind. No need to be concerned about security breaches either, as data security and privacy make up the cornerstones of every EZVIZ design. Data transmission between the C8PF and the EZVIZ Cloud is encrypted from end to end and only the key supplied with the camera can decrypt the data.

EZVIZ is the only smart home brand to offer a full range of outdoor pan & tilt cameras with the majority of competitors still offering the traditional bullet cameras. With the launch of the C8PF pan-tilt-zoom camera it further extends its product portfolio and continues EZVIZ’s commitment to offering consumers fast-paced, innovative products but at an affordable price. EZVIZ’s continues on its mission to offer ‘advanced technology accessible to everyone.’

The C8PF pan-tilt-zoom camera is available for $169.99 from Amazon.

High resolution imagery and videos are available here

  • Intelligent Dual Lenses

BLUESOUND PULSE SOUNDBAR+ Now Available with Dolby Atmos

BluOS 3.16 update brings an unforgettable 3D sound experience to your movies, music, games and shows.

Bluesound, makers of the award-winning hi-res wireless multi-room line of audio players, announced a software update for the PULSE SOUNDBAR+ that introduces all-new audio settings for realistic home theater sound and adds support for the immersive power of Dolby Atmos. Ahead of the US Black Friday holiday, customers will be prompted to update their PULSE SOUNDBAR+ and experience an incredible soundstage that brings a whole new dimension to movies, music, games and shows.

The PULSE SOUNDBAR+ ($899 in black/$999 in White, U.S. MSRP) is the ultimate audiophile-grade soundbar that will satisfy any home entertainment need. It is offered in a choice of Black or White finish and is configurable to a range of home entertainment applications. For ease of installation, it comes supplied with a wall mount bracket as well as two kickstand feet.

An Immersive Dolby Atmos Experience

The unique BluOS implementation of Dolby Atmos in the PULSE SOUNDBAR+ features four virtualization profiles – Movie, Music, Late Night and Off – giving customers more features than typical in other soundbar implementations of Dolby’s audio processing technologies. While content that is encoded in Dolby Atmos will provide the most realistic experience, any content – from two-channel all the way up to seven-channel – can be virtualized to provide users a wider, higher, and more enveloping soundstage. Great care has been taken to assure the timbre of the audio remains natural anywhere in the listening environment.

“We are extremely excited that BluOS 3.16 brings a whole new dimension to our customers’ home theater experience with the PULSE SOUNDBAR+,” says Matt Simmonds, Bluesound Product Manager. “Many brands overlook audio quality when implementing new technologies in the soundbar category, but at Bluesound, audio quality comes first. So we’re delighted that our team’s decades of software engineering and HiFi audio design experience has made Dolby Atmos in a two-channel soundbar more believable and natural than ever.”

Flexibility For Any Entertainment Setup

Connect nearly any audio source to the PULSE SOUNDBAR+ via its array of wired and wireless, digital and analog connectivity options. TVs, gaming consoles, music streaming services, laptops, and music libraries can be accessed through HDMI eARC, Apple AirPlay 2, two-way aptX HD Bluetooth, TOSLINK, RCA, USB, and our proprietary BluOS music streaming system.

More powerful, More Efficient

Designed for end-to-end efficiency, the PULSE SOUNDBAR+ features a powerful custom-specified ARM Cortex A53 Quad-Core chipset that processes audio 8 times faster than previous generations of Bluesound architecture. Combined with two WiFi chips to prevent network latency, this flagship board design offers rock solid and zero-lag audio performance, even for demanding gaming applications.

Precision app control

The PULSE SOUNDBAR+ offers a spectrum of control options, making it easy to weave home entertainment into everyday life. Newly added simple touch controls on the front panel now offer quick access to play, pause and volume. With just a smartphone or tablet, the built-in BluOS wireless multi-room streaming technology can connect and sync audio to, from, and around any room in the home. Hands-free control of your home entertainment is made possible with popular voice assistants from Google, Amazon, and Apple, while professional smart home integrators can get access to drivers for popular control systems like Lutron, Crestron, RTI, Elan, and others.

Like all Bluesound PULSE speaker models, the acoustic design and speaker voicing was performed at Canada’s National Research Council by Lenbrook’s renowned speaker design and engineering team.

“In 2016, Bluesound launched the world’s first Hi-Res soundbar, setting the bar for audio excellence in the category that continues to this day,” Simmonds continues. “With the PULSE SOUNDBAR+, we continue to innovate and refine, making good on our commitment to bring hi-res, HiFi listening to everyday life.”

Highlights of the Bluesound PULSE SOUNDBAR+:

o   Dolby Atmos. With Dolby Atmos, you can experience music, movies, sports and games in the most immersive and cinematic way.

o   Future Forward. Bluesound’s next generation quad-core processor boasts all the power and speed required for the latest and greatest audio and DSP processing, with built-in headroom for whatever technologies the future may hold.

o   Audio First. The PULSE SOUNDBAR+ stays true to its hi-res audio foundations and its HiFi roots. The tried and tested amplifier platform packs a punch, allowing you to play loud and dig deep, with tight, musical control.

o   BluOS. The world’s leading hi-res multi-room system connects the PULSE SOUNDBAR+ to any other Bluesound Player with precise control in the BluOS app.
