TCL’s 20 Pro 5G phone now works wirelessly with TVs, PCs, and tablets
tcl multi screen collaboration software news pc

TCL Communications has announced a multiscreen software platform, called Multi-Screen Collaboration, for the TCL 20 Pro 5G smartphone, which will arrive as an update for the recently announced device in the near future. It opens up the ability for the phone to integrate with a compatible television, tablet, or computer. Think of the functionality as being similar to Huawei’s Huawei Share, Samsung’s DeX, and even Google’s Chromecast.

Pair the TCL 20 Pro 5G to a TCL television using DLNA or Miracast, and the system makes it easy to display the photos stored in the gallery. What makes it different from Chromecast is being able to navigate using your phone's screen and annotate images too, ready to take a screenshot and then share in a document. It’s an interesting collaborative twist on the basic functionality we may have first expected. Music and video can be streamed directly to the TV from the phone too.

Today, at its virtual Unbox & Discover 2021 event, Samsung formally announced its entire line of 2021 TVs and soundbars, and shared news that it will be bringing a 76-inch version of its MicroLED TV to the U.S. market "in the future."

MicroLED TV gets smaller

One of the biggest pieces of news coming out of CES 2021 was Samsung's announcement that its MicroLED technology had moved from being a display that could only be installed by professionals -- and at very large sizes -- to a fully self-contained TV that anyone (with enough money) could buy and set up themselves.

T-Mobile’s TVision live TV streaming service starts at $10 a month, with a catch
T-Mobile TVision

Cord-cutters will soon have yet another option when it comes to ditching their cable or satellite subscriptions: T-Mobile is launching TVision, a live TV streaming service that starts at just $10 per month, with special bundles for live news, sports, entertainment, and premium channels. It launches November 1, but unlike competitors such as YouTube TV, Sling TV, or Hulu + Live TV, you must be a qualifying T-Mobile subscriber to sign up for TVision.

If you are a T-Mobile customer (or you become one), the company claims you can save up to half of your regular cable bill. "A TV package on the average cable bill costs $156 — and that’s before add-on fees," according to the TVision website. Your actual savings will depend a lot on which TVision package you choose, but there's no doubt that you can spend as little as $10 per month if your needs are minimal.
