Sony’s latest high-end entertainment development comes in the form of the Z9D 4K 100-inch TV. As part of the Z series which focuses on innovative visual quality, the new model features some heavy hardware. A 4K X-Reality PRO picture processor allows for unparalleled clarity and highly realistic detail, while a Backlight Master Drive™ controls LED brightness individually, meaning the darkest LEDs could be placed side-by-side with the brightest for intense contrast. Fully integrated with Android, Netflix, Hulu and Amazon Video, you won’t want to leave your house ever again. The TV is expected to release later this year for no less than $10,000 USD as the 75-inch model currently retails for about that.
Olympus has announced the OM-D E-5 Mark II, a classic SLR camera that is smaller and lighter, yet packed with technical refinements. Trading in the previously utilized 16MP output for 40MP, images are sharper and more detailed than ever before. Blurry photos are a thing of the past thanks to the built-in stabilizer. With each click, a burst of eight images are captured, which are then combined to create one incredibly clear snapshot. The shutter speed sees an improvement too with a 1/16000 second close time, which means during burst mode it is possible to capture 10 frames per second. The large viewfinder now operates at a higher resolution of 1024×768 pixels and the camera as a whole is water-resistant and can withstand drops of over 6 feet. The Olympus OM-D E-5 Mark II is set for a late-February release, starting at $1,250 USD.

As we’re inching closer to the purported shipping date for the Apple Watch, something we still don’t know is how much they will cost. But if this is any indication, Apple is reported to be outfitting its stores with special safes just for the smartwatches. Supposedly for the pricier gold iterations of the watch and for store-demo units, the safes will be specially designed with the Apple Watch MagSafe chargers to ensure they are powered for use. Considering the price of already existing Apple products, this special treatment could mean some serious bucks for the pricier iterations of the Apple Watches, but for that we will have to wait and see.
