We’re guessing you’re like the rest of us and own a plain ole’ 4K or HD flatscreen TV. Or maybe you’re one of a few TV lovers who own a curved Samsung. Either way, we’re also going to guess you don’t own a bendable 4K OLED TV, and if you do, we are truly envious. At one time, these unique TVs cost quite a chunk of change, but that was two years ago. And just in time for Christmas 2024, LG is offering an amazing markdown on one of its most unique OLED TV deals

For a limited time, when you order the LG 42-inch 4K OLED Flex Smart TV through the manufacturer, you’ll only pay $1,700. Mind you, this TV once cost $3,000. We had the opportunity to go over this puppy with a fine-toothed comb, and reviewer Caleb Denison said, “The LG OLED Flex blurs the line between high-end performance TVs and gaming monitors.”

Why you should buy the LG 42-inch Flex Smart TV 

As the name would imply, the most remarkable feature of the LG Flex is its ability to cycle between various screen curvatures to suit your desktop environment best. Yes, on paper, LG calls this a “TV,” but considering the size, we’re willing to bet a lot of folks are using it for a gaming monitor. Powered by LG’s a9 Gen 5 AI Processor 4K, you can expect rich colors and incredible contrast levels, along with a native 120Hz refresh rate and HDMI 2.1 connectivity. 

Other noteworthy features include a built-in gaming mic (another point in the monitor category), a height-adjustable stand with built-in bias lighting, and the ability to customize your display to view two game streams at the same time. You’ll also be able to access entertainment apps like Netflix and Disney+ with LG’s webOS 22, which delivers a smooth and intuitive streaming experience and fast load times for apps. 

While it’s hard to say how long this LG markdown is going to stick around, one thing is for sure: there’s never been a better time to buy this TV. Take $1,300 off the LG 42-inch 4K OLED Flex Smart TV when you order through the manufacturer.

Your next Spotify song could soon carry an AI warning label, and the music industry is all for it
AI isn't the problem anymore. Knowing it's AI is.
AI tag imagined with AI

The music industry's battle with artificial intelligence is entering a new phase. After spending the past two years fighting AI companies in court and pushing back against unauthorized training on copyrighted music, record labels are now turning their attention to something far simpler: transparency. A coalition representing major record labels, artists, and music organizations wants streaming services such as Spotify and Apple Music to clearly tell listeners when a song has been created with artificial intelligence.

The proposal, first reported by The Wall Street Journal, comes as AI-generated music becomes increasingly difficult to distinguish from songs created by human artists. Rather than banning AI music altogether, the industry is arguing that listeners deserve to know what they're hearing before they hit play.

Your YouTube playlists can now become actual TV shows, but there’s a catch you need to know
YouTube just gave Partner Program creators the episodic infrastructure that Netflix has been using to keep audiences hooked for years.
Electronics, Mobile Phone, Phone

YouTube just gave its creators a tool that streaming platforms take for granted. I’m talking about the ability to structure content as proper episodic TV. 

If you're in the YouTube Partner Program and you’ve been organizing your videos into playlists while praying that the algorithm and your audience notice, then Shows is the upgrade you've been waiting for.

Sony IER-M500 Launched Featured in use by artists

Sony is officially back in the professional in-ear monitor (IEM) space.

Rather than chasing features like active noise cancellation or spatial audio for casual listening, the IER-M500 is built with one goal in mind: helping artists hear themselves clearly during live performances.

Built for the stage, not the daily commute
