DXG-125V Camcorder Takes HD to the Great Outdoors

DXG-125V Camcorder Takes HD to the Great Outdoors

DXG is taking high-definition to the great outdoors with its new DXG-125V camcorder, designed to let outdoor soports ethusiasts capture all their greatest moments in 720p glory. The DXG-125V offers a ruggedized, weather-resistant candy-bar design for easy one-handed operation—plus the camcorder includes the all-important carabiner for latching onto packs and gear, and a compass…you know, just in case.

"The DXG-125V is a break-out product in the HD camcorder space," said DXG USA senior marketing VP Paul Goldberg, in a statement. "We are excited to bring such an exciting product to market at such an affordable price, making the quality, compact HD camcorder accessible to all outdoor enthusiasts."

The DXG-125V offers a 2-inch LCD display and captures video at 720p resolution at 30 fps; it only packs 128 MB of onboard storage, but offers an SD slot for up to 8 GB of removable storage. There’s no image stabilization—that would be too much to ask for at the DXG-125V’s price point— but the camera can take 3 megapixel still images, sports an integrated MP3 player, offers a 2× digital zoom, and runs off a rechargeable lithium-ion battery—which might be a problem if you need more juice in the middle of nowhere and all you have is AA batteries. The DXG-125V offers HDMI output for connecting to an HDTV, along with an AV output for connecting to standard definition video gear and USB for offloading to a computer.

The DXG-125V is available today for a suggested price of $139.99.

Hisense’s achingly bright U9N ULED TV is a UX for the masses
Hisense U9N ULED 4K TV.

In late 2023, just ahead of CES 2024, Hisense gave us a taste of just how far its engineers had been able to push the TV brightness envelope in the form of the limited-edition, 85-inch UX TV. With 3,500 nits of peak brightness, it was one of the brightest TVs we'd ever reviewed. And while Hisense's UX series remains the company's flagship (with massive 98- and 110-inch models coming later this year), some of the UX's features have trickled down to the new U9N ULED, a 4K TV that Hisense claims will produce an even brighter 5,000 peak nits.

The U9N ULED will come in 75- and 85-inch models, priced at $3,000 and $4,000, respectively. They're expected to be available from BestBuy.com this summer.

Fubo loses WBD channels after suing over sports joint venture
The Fubo app icon on Apple TV.

It's a tale as old as time: Boy meets girl. Boy sues girl over what it says are anti-competitive practices. Boy surprised when girl no longer wants to have anything to do with him. Boy writes pithy press release. Welcome, friends, to the current state of the relationship between Fubo and Warner Bros. Discovery.

Fubo -- the smallest of the major live streaming services in the U.S. -- today announced that it has failed to renew a content agreement with Warner Bros. Discovery, which has led to the loss of a number of channels. That includes Discovery itself, along with HGTV, Food Network, and TLC. It also extends to TNT, TBS, and truTV.

Apple discounts MLS Season Pass for the rest of the season
Lionel Messi on MLS Season Pass.

If you've been thinking about getting MLS Season Pass but didn't want to pay the (pretty reasonable) annual subscription fee, that argument just got a little weaker. Apple has dropped the price for the remainder of the season to $69, down from $99. And if you also subscribe to Apple TV+ (which is where Apple streams its exclusives, like Severance, Ted Lasso, and Foundation), you can get the rest of the season for just $59.

In addition to being the place to watch every MLS game without any blackouts, MLS Season Pass also gets you the MLS 360 live whiparound show -- in English and Spanish. You'll also get pre- and post-match coverage and analysis, highlights, player profiles, and you can follow your favorite clubs for more stats and standings. And you also can opt to listen to the matches with audio from the clubs' radio announcers.
