Philips announces a small smart TV designed for use in the kitchen-- the 24-inch Android TV featuring Google Assistant (aka the 6000 series) allowing for hands-free control while viewing recipes, playing music or watching content.

The TV features the Android TV platform and integrated dual far-field echo-canceling microphones, providing voice control via Google Assistant. As such, it should be ideal for customers wanting to follow cooking videos step-by-step and control the viewing experience by voice, including volume, pause/play and rewind/fast-forward. In addition, they can control compatible smart home devices or check on the weather and traffic, all with the power of their voice.

LG might be pushing flexible OLEDs with the rollable Signature TV R, but a recent patent filing suggests the Korean company plans another take on the technology in the shape of a foldable OLED TV.

First spotted by Dutch news site LetsGoDigital, the patent describes an ultrawide display able to fold up into a compact space when not in use. As such it is similar in concep to the aforementioned Signature TV R (which rolls up when not in use), only using the foldable technology previously seen in smartphones such as the Samsung Galaxy Fold and Huawei Mate X.

PC gamers wanting to take advantage of the biggest screen in the house will be able to do so in even better form on a number of 2019 LG OLED TVs, as the company announces a firmware update bringing Nvidia G-Sync support.

Sets receiving the update include the E9 (65- and 55-inch), C- (77-, 65- and 55-inch) and B9 (65- and 55-inch). G-Sync support promises "the smoothest, most immersive gaming experience," with images free of flickering, tearing or stuttering. However, to take advantage of graphics optimised for TVs up to 77-inch in size customers need to own PCs powered by either GeForce RTX 20 or GTX 16-series GPUs.

Samsung Display plans to transition to Quantum Dot OLED (aka QD-OLED), the display technology rival to the likes of high-end LED LCD and WRGB OLED, by 2021 following a $10.9 billion investment in a first manufacturing line.

Located in Asan City, South Chungcheong Province, S. Korea, the Q1 line will have a production capacity of 30000 sheets once it starts operations in 2021. It will manufacture display panels measuring 65-inch or larger. According to The Investor, Samsung plans to replace current 8th generation LCD lines with QD-OLED lines by 2025 as part of a transition scheme from LCDs to QD-OLEDs for large-size devices.
