From the press release:

The new KLV-S23A10 (23-inch) and KLV-S19A10 (19-inch) models signal the company’s growing emphasis on LCD-based flat-panel TVs. They join a flat-panel lineup that also includes the recently announced, top of the line QUALIA 005 model.

The QUALIA 005 is a LCD flat-panel television equipped with a Triluminos LED backlight system.  To compliment this new panel technology, the QUALIA 005 features Sony’s exclusive WEGA Engine HD system which can project real texture and true high-resolution quality of a High Definition (HD) signal. Using Sony’s proprietary HD-to-HD conversion algorithm, it re-creates standard and HDTV signals to the full HD (1920 x 1080) quality and widens the color gamut to maximize the advantage of Triluminos LED backlight system.  Together with a 100W S-Master full digital audio amplifier, the QUALIA 005 offers an incredible video and audio experience.  

With Sony’s two latest  high-definition LCD model introductions on top of both the QUALIA and six Sony LCD models currently available, the company is “clearly demonstrating the rapidly increasing demand for flat-panel televisions in screen sizes that are both big and small,” said Greg Gudorf, vice president of TV marketing for Sony Electronics. “These new models are just the start of a major LCD product expansion.”

Sony WEGA KLV-S19A10

The new KLV-S23A10 (23-inch) and KLV-S19A10 (19-inch) LCD televisions each feature a HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) connection, allowing the transfer of uncompressed digital signals to provide the best possible picture. These sets incorporate a high-performance, 1-chip video processor which integrates a 3D comb filter with a motion adaptive IP converter, improving picture contrast and detail while reducing video noise and image blur during fast action scenes.

Additional features included are the CineMotion® reverse 3:2 pulldown circuitry to provide a consistently smooth image and a Dynamic Picture

Samsung’s new clip-on earbuds are coming to the US, and they’re not cheap
You can listen to music without blocking out the world around you, but Samsung is charging a premium for the convenience.
Samsung Galaxy Buds On earbuds

Earlier this month, Samsung unveiled its first clip-on earbuds called the Galaxy Buds On. Initially, it announced pricing and availability details only for Korea, but now the brand has revealed them for the US market as well. As per Samsung, the Galaxy Buds On will cost $229 and will be available to buy in early November. Only one color option, Black, will be available initially.

That is quite a steep price, considering the flagship Galaxy Buds 4 Pro go for $250. The Buds On also has no active noise cancellation, weaker bass response, and lower dust and water resistance. All that said, the use case is fundamentally different. While you might choose the Buds 4 Pro as the best daily drivers for your Galaxy smartphone, the Buds On keep your ear canals open, letting you listen to music while staying aware of traffic, conversations, and everything else happening around you. I can see the appeal for people who find traditional earbuds uncomfortable, or those who regularly listen to music while running or commuting.
