Sony claims mini-LED superiority with 2022 8K and 4K TVs
Sony 2022 Bravia XR TV lineup.

For Sony's TV ambitions, 2022 is looking like a banner year. Not only has it become the first company to bring a QD-OLED TV to market (the Sony A95K), but it is also branching out into mini-LED backlighting for its non-OLED flagship models, the 8K resolution Z9K, and the X95K, a 4K model. And naturally, Sony believes its version of mini-LED is better than the competition, thanks to a new version of its XR Backlight Master Drive and improvements to its Cognitive Processor XR technology.
Better mini-LED?

Why is Sony so confident that its min-LED TVs are better than TCL's mini-LED models, Samsung's Neo QLED TV, and LG's mini-LED QNED models? Apparently, none of these competitors are applying sufficient algorithmic control over their backlights, according to Sony, which results in less-than-ideal picture quality.

Amazon-built Fire TV Omni and 4-Series 4K TVs now available, starting at $370
The Amazon Fire TV Omni Series with the Fire TV platform on the screen.

In September, Amazon revealed it was getting into the TV game by announcing two Amazon-branded TVs that are based on the company's Fire TV smart TV software. Now those TVs -- the Fire TV Omni Series and Fire TV 4-Series -- are available to buy, with prices starting at $370. As part of the release of these new models, Amazon has also said that both will receive Apple AirPlay 2 and Apple HomeKit support via an upcoming firmware update.

Amazon describes the Fire TV Omni as a "cinematic home theater experience," and while that may be a stretch for the smaller screen sizes of this TV, there's no doubt that the largest versions -- 65- and 75-inch sizes -- deserve that label, as they support Dolby Vision HDR in addition to the HDR10 and HLG formats supported by the smaller screen sizes.

Dell claims its UltraSharp 4K webcam is the world’s best for image quality
Dell UltraSharp 4K webcam mounted on monitor.

It's no secret that most laptop webcams are terrible, with low resolutions and poor handling of all but the most perfect lighting conditions. That's a bad thing today given the reliance on videoconferencing due to the surge in remote working.

Dell recognizes this and has announced the UltraSharp webcam as a solution -- and a very high-end one at that. For $200 -- yes, it's pricey -- you get what Dell characterizes as the world's best video image and the world's most intelligent 4K webcam.
