LG’s newest 32-inch 4K monitor is a looker with a smart TV inside

LG will show off a new series of 32-inch 4K computer monitor / TV hybrids called the ‘MyView’ at CES this year. The company announced they’ll come “in a variety of colors, including essence white, mild beige, cotton pink and cotton green.” They’ll be offered in three variants at two price levels — $599.99 and $499.99, and LG says it will announce availability in the US “at a later date.” The specs and design language of LG’s new smart LED displays are very similar to the Samsung M8. They both come in multiple colors and have a whiff of modern iMac design, though with more adjustable stands (both support tweaks to height, tilt, and rotation). Each can be used as a smart TV with the included remote and all of the new MyView monitors will have Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, 2 built-in speakers, and dual HDMI ports. The LG MyView comes with a remote to prove it’s serious about streaming.Image: LG But some key differences could make LG’s new monitor a better deal. Its IPS panel …

400 Crore Mark Is The Next Destination For Prabhas, But Is It Too Late?

Salaar Box Office Day 10 (Early Trends): 400 Crore Mark Is The Next Destination For Prabhas, But… (Picture Credit: IMDb) Prabhas might be one of the luckiest actors who are still getting any kind of work after delivering films like Saaho, Radhe Shyam & Adipurush. Yes, Prashanth Neel’s direction has packaged the Rebel Star in the way his fans demanded, but still, something was missing from Salaar. Remember, Neel is the same person who gave Yash ‘Rocky Bhai,’ a character he would be celebrated for in the years to come. Releasing during the festive season is a lucky place to be in, but not if you’re clashing with a film that stars Indian cinema’s one of the biggest stars. Salaar competed with Shah Rukh Khan‘s Dunki at the box office, which also turned into a nasty war between fan clubs. They started to try and prove how the makers of the opposite film were trying to do a box office scam by the block booking the tickets. Salaar’s journey at the Indian box office has …
