ViewSonic announces the launch of the LX700-4K RGB laser projector. This projector represents a significant advancement in home entertainment technology. It is the first ceiling-mounted home projector with RGB laser technology, achieving 100% coverage of the BT.2020 color gamut, one of the most advanced colour standards available. This capability allows the projector to deliver a wide range of vibrant, lifelike colours, significantly enhancing the immersive viewing experience. Combined with true 4K UHD resolution and support for HDR and HLG, it provides theater-quality visuals, making it a versatile, future-proof investment for consumers.

Dean Tsai, General Manager of the Projector & LED Display Business Unit at ViewSonic, emphasized the company’s commitment to innovation in home entertainment. He noted that the LX700-4K RGB demonstrates ViewSonic’s dedication to meeting consumer demand for superior home cinema solutions by offering exceptional image quality and seamless integration into home settings.

Technical Specifications and Features

The LX700-4K RGB projector incorporates cutting-edge RGB laser technology, delivering vibrant images with 100% coverage of the BT.2020 color gamut. This ensures a more lifelike and immersive viewing experience with high colour saturation and contrast. The projector offers 5,200 RGB Laser Lumens, ensuring vivid and clear details in various lighting conditions, making it ideal for home cinema enthusiasts.

Supporting 4K resolution and HDR/HLG, the LX700-4K RGB provides an exceptionally crisp and detailed picture. Its high native contrast ratio, powered by a 0.65-inch Digital Micromirror Device (DMD) chip, enhances details, particularly in dark scenes, delivering a true cinema-quality experience. The projector uses Digital Light Processing (DLP) technology, the same trusted technology used in IMAX theaters and over 90% of digital cinemas worldwide, ensuring long-lasting image quality.

Flexible Installation and Setup

The LX700-4K RGB can project images up to a 300″ screen size, far exceeding the typical 100″ limit of OLED TVs. It offers a range of flexible installation options to ensure a seamless setup. With a 1.6x optical zoom, users can choose the optimal setup location within a range, achieving the desired image size without altering the existing interior design. The vertical lens shift feature allows for fine-tuning the position of the projected image without physically moving the projector. Additionally, horizontal and vertical keystone correction, along with 4-corner adjustment, ensures the projected image is perfectly shaped and symmetrical, even if the projector is placed off-center.

The LX700-4K RGB also features HDMI eARC (Enhanced Audio Return Channel) support, facilitating easy connection to external audio equipment. This allows for seamless transmission of high-quality audio and video formats, ensuring easy integration into any home cinema environment and providing a more immersive viewing experience.

Gaming Performance

The LX700-4K RGB excels in delivering cinematic experiences and meets high-quality gaming standards for popular consoles like Xbox and PlayStation. The combination of QHD 1440p at 120 Hz strikes a balance between resolution and refresh rate for an immersive gaming experience. It provides fluid, detailed images during fast-paced action, allowing gamers to enjoy smooth performance without sacrificing image quality. With a 4.2 ms ultra-fast input, a 240 Hz refresh rate, and a microsecond-level response time, the projector delivers a seamless at-home gaming experience.

Signify, the world leader in lighting launches a new product that is much anticipated by users from all over the world: Philips Hue Festavia String Lights. With the holiday season just around the corner, the Festavia string lights will light up users’ homes and create a cosy ambience inside for the holidays and special occasions.

The Philips Hue Festavia string lights feature 250 mini smart LEDs along a 20-meter cord, offering plenty of flexibility to decorate your Christmas tree, staircase, or any area in your home. No more crawling under the Christmas tree to turn the lights on or off – with the Festavia string lights, you can dim and brighten the lights, change colour, turn lights on and off, set timers and schedules and more, all within the Hue app. What’s more, users can choose several colour points to create a gradient light effect along the string, bringing the colours to life. As with all Hue products, the Festavia string lights work in harmony with other Philips Hue lights in the space. They can also be synced with music using the Spotify and Samsung SmartThings integration, allowing the lights to flash, dim, and brighten along with your favourite song or playlist.

New Features: The Sparkle Effect And The Scattered Style

Along with the Festavia string lights, new features are available in the Hue app. The new Sparkle effect makes each light on the string twinkle, creating an extra festive look. For a cosier setting users can of course choose the existing Candle or Fireplace effect. Adding to this, Festavia comes with a new style for users to select: Scattered. While the existing Linear style produces a seamless gradient of colour from one end of the string to the other, the Scattered style spreads up to five colours randomly along the string for a colourful, festive experience.

In a statement announcing the launch, Philips Hue’s Business Leader at Signify, Jasper Vervoort, said, “As the world leader in smart lighting, we are constantly innovating to expand the ways users can experience lighting in their homes. We are very proud to present our new smart string lights, an innovation that a lot of users from all over the world have been waiting for. With Philips Hue Festavia string lights, anyone can create a personal lighting experience during the festive season. Homes will light up like never before.”

Govee, a global brand in smart lighting and RGBIC technology, announced the availability of a new generation of LED Strip Lights, dubbed the Govee LED Strip Light M1. The latest iteration provides a one-of-a-kind way to light up spaces through upgraded RGBIC+ technology, that increases beads per meter for advanced luminosity and better-segmented control, intuitive music syncing, and an abundance of customizable colours. The LED Strip Light M1 was created to tap into multiple senses, leveraging audio-enabled visuals to take your home entertainment system to the next level.

Building off its predecessor, the LED Strip Light M1 includes the latest RGBIC+ technology with ten segments at 60 light beads per metre (versus four segments of 24 LED beads per metre). This increase gives consumers the highest lumens available in a five-meter colour light strip, providing larger wall washing.

With a pre-installed control box mic and a custom algorithm, the LED Strip Light M1 can recognize audio in the surrounding environment and sync the lights to match the beat in one of 11 different music modes. Users can also experience DreamView mode, aligning the strip light’s effects with other Govee smart lights in your entertainment ecosystem. This provides for a truly immersive experience, whether you are enjoying a virtual concert, watching sports, or meditating at home.

With over 16 million rich colour options, including an extra warm white courtesy of its RGBIC+ technology, users can customise their environments regardless of what they are watching or listening to. Subdivision controls and multiple modes of lighting effects also allow for unique settings such as fading, twinkle, stream, flow, and more. Users can double the fun by extending the strip light from five meters to 10 to cover a large area as well.

Like with all Govee products, the power of personalization is put into the users’ hands through the Govee Home App. Users can easily control the strip light and select colours, brightness, effects, modes, and more through the App, as well as tap into the wider Govee community of over 11 million App users. In addition, the strip light can be used hands-free and is compatible with Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant.
