Introducing Media Suite 14 | CyberLink

Cyberlink is a company that you likely best know for its PowerDVD player software, but it’s entire suite of software covers everything from editing photos and video, to burning discs, watching movies, and even file backup and audio editing. The Taiwan-based company announced this week the launch of its latest version of CyberLink Media Suite 14, which packs all 15 of CyberLink’s content and media product programs into one very affordable package.

A few of the notable feature updates to the suite over Media Suite 13 are drag-and-drop video templates to make editing your videos for a certain look much quicker, Photoshop-esque layer editing and portrait retouching tools for photo design, as well as a new video player mode that CyberLink claims enables a “truly cinematic movie experience on big-screen TVs.”

“Our aim with Media Suite is to make digital multimedia software exciting and accessible to everyone,” said Dr. Jau Huang, Chairman and CEO of CyberLink. “It’s the ideal solution for families who want high-quality software that serves all their multimedia needs without compromising their budgets.”

PowerDVD, the DVD/Disc playing software headlines the programs in Media Suite 14, which also includes PowerDirector (video editing), PhotoDirector (photo editing), Power2Go (disc burning), MediaEspresso (media conversion), Media Show (media catalog/organization), Wave Editor 2 (audio editing), and more.

Media Suite 14 is now available for download from CyberLink over on the company’s website, with the Ultra version coming in at the price of $130 and the Ultimate version (which includes extra mobile apps and movie making content packs) costing a bit more at $150. If you happen to already own a previous version of CyberLink’s Media Suite, you can pick up Media Suite 14 for the upgrade price of just $70.

Crazy! This 75-inch 4K TV is under $450 at Walmart right now

The onn. 75” Class 4K UHD (2160P) LED Frameless Roku Smart TV is a living room with orange walls.

Walmart continues its reign of great TV deals with the option to buy an Onn. 75-inch Frameless 4K TV for just $448. A 75-inch TV for under $500 is pretty impressive and this TV usually costs $498 so you’re saving even more than usual. If you want a great new TV to add to your home for less, this is the perfect opportunity to do so while saving plenty of cash. Let’s take a look at what it has to offer.

Why you should buy the Onn. 75-inch Frameless 4K TV
Onn. is nowhere to be seen in our look at the best TV brands but it’s still pretty respectable for anyone seeking a budget-priced TV. The most obvious benefit here is the hefty 75-inch 4K screen with 2160p resolution. It looks great with a crystal clear picture which is an excellent upgrade compared to an HD screen. The Onn. 75-inch Frameless 4K TV might lack the finer features of the best TVs but it has the essentials arranged well.

Tubi teams with DAZN for sports as free TV service continues its takeover

The Tubi app icon on Apple TV.

Not that Tubi was exactly lacking for anything to watch, but the free (as in ad-supported) streaming service just added a couple more reasons to keep you glued to your couch. The Fox-owned FAST service (that's short for free ad-supported television) today announced a partnership with DAZN that brings a bevy of sports to platform.

The tentpole addition is DAZN Women's Football. It'll be available 24 hours a day, with "a compelling mix of live and classic soccer matches from prestigious tournaments." Those will include the UEFA Women's Champions League, Liga F, and the Saudi Women's Premier League, among others. It'll be available in the U.S. and Canada.

Hisense’s PX3-Pro Laser Cinema gets AI, a bigger picture, and better sound

The Hisense PX3-Pro Laser Cinema.

Hisense's PX2-Pro Laser Cinema ultra short throw projector made all kinds of best projector lists for its excellent picture, big brightness, and accurate color. Today, the Chinese electronics maker announced the popular projector's latest model, the PX3-Pro, a $3,500, premium triple-laser projector that improves on its predecessors with better sound, a brighter light source, and AI smarts to further enhance its image.

The PX3-Pro sees some improvements over the PX2. For one, it's brighter than the PX2's 2,400 ANSI lumens at 3,000 ANSI lumens, which should mean a significant boost, especially in brighter rooms. But one key improvement with the PX3 that Hisense is certainly hoping will make an impact is its integration of "real-time Pro AI Algorithms" that Hisense says will "enhance brightness, fine-tune contrast, and eliminate noise." Using AI to enhance picture quality, color, and more, has been showing up in all the best TVs over the last year or so, so it's no surprise to see it start making its way into the best projectors now, too.
