CyberLink's Media Suite 14 includes additional pro video and photo features

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.”

The Samsung Q990D is a flagship soundbar with a $500 discount
Samsung HW-Q990D Dolby Atmos Soundbar.

There’s no denying the immersive surround sound experience that a full-fledged Dolby Atmos speaker setup provides. Unfortunately, splurging on a complete Atmos configuration often entails spending thousands on the hardware you’ll need to run the show and the labor required to install it. That’s why soundbars like the Samsung HW-Q990D are such an appealing alternative.

Right now, the Samsung HW-Q990D 11.1.4ch Soundbar with Dolby Atmos is discounted to $1,500. That may not sound like a steal, but consider the fact that the full retail price is $2,000.

Roku adds 2 new streaming sticks, announces plans for projectors
New Roku streaming sticks for 2025.

It's been several years since Roku updated its streaming sticks, but now there are two new models: The HD-resolution, $30 Roku Streaming Stick, and a 4K, HDR-capable, $40 Roku Streaming Stick Plus. The new sticks replace the company's Express streaming devices, creating a more streamlined product line up consisting of the two new sticks, Roku's current Ultra, Streaming Stick 4K, and Streambar SE. Both new Streaming Stick models can be preordered starting today.

The new Sticks are touted as being 35% smaller than sticks from other brands. Roku's research suggests the stick design is a fan favorite, saying, "Almost all streamers (90%) want a clean setup with streaming devices or wires hidden behind the TV." The new sticks get the same voice-enabled Bluetooth remote that ships with the Streaming Stick 4K. The remotes also let you control volume on the connected TV.
