LG reveals largest OLED display in the world

lg-oled-screen-largest“Go big, or go home” is a statement that many of us have heard throughout our life. After all, it carries the connotation of making sure that things are always done in the proper manner to the best of one’s ability, and that is exactly what the folks over at LG have achieved with their latest release — the world’s largest OLED screen. This is an advanced commercial display that boasts of extremely high resolution which is fitting for the largest HD video wall to date.

Where else would we be able to catch a glimpse of this other than in Dubai? After all, Dubai has its fair share of glitz and glamor, thanks to the bountiful oil money that the kingdom has received over the past few decades. This OLED screen from LG is located at the Dubai Aquarium, where the mega-sized video wall was made possible courtesy of 820 Open Frame LG OLED digital signage panels. In order to achieve this, a gargantuan 7,600-square-foot screen that measures a whopping 164 feet wide by 45 feet tall had to be put in place.

LG did not go about this alone though, as they worked with Emaar Entertainment, who happens to be the operator of the world-class aquarium that is located in the Dubai Mall right next to the Burj Khalifa. LG has long maintained its standing that OLED technology is a next generation display technology that should be pursued since it is emissive, allowing the display to emit its own light so that there is no need for backlighting which is not only bulky, but inefficient as well. This would see your eyes experience the deepest blacks possible, in addition to virtually infinite contrast ratios and life-like colors. It would be nice to see this technology trickle down to the average consumer class OLED TVs in the near future though.

cobra-instant-proofDriving is fun for many, although no one would like to be stuck in a traffic gridlock. While it is convenient to get around in your own set of wheels, there is always some level of risk involved, and accidents to happen to even the best of us. In such circumstances, it would be of utmost importance if you have an eyewitness around to figure out who is right or wrong in a particular situation — and there is nothing better than a digital recording to capture all that had happened in the fender bender. Cobra Electronics has decided to come up with their all new Instant Proof Dash Cam that will help to protect your family, your vehicle, and your driving record through the recording of video evidence just in the event when an incident happens.

The new Instant Proof HD Dash Cam, also known as the IP 200, is a windshield mounted camera which will continuously records video of the road as you drive. It performs all of its video recording in high definition 1080p video while relying on a 120° viewing angle, ensuring that the entire road is filmed while still maintaining focus directly ahead that will be able to read out license plate numbers. With continuous loop recording, it captures and stores footage in 3-minute segments. In the event where the memory card fills up, the camera will then delete the oldest segment automatically in order to make room for the new videos.

There is also an integrated G-Sensor which will be able to sense sudden accelerations and collisions, and it automatically protects footage surrounding the incident. Clips can also be manually saved simply by pressing the File Lock button. Other features of the IP 200 include Motion Detection that offers visual event recording while a vehicle is parked, Auto Record that automatically starts recording upon powering up, among others.

The IP 200 will ship with a 4GB microSD memory card to help you get started right out of the box, with an asking price of $59.95 apiece.
