This wild new TV mount moves your screen without you touching it
TVs can already adjust their picture and sound without much help from you. Perlegear now wants the physical screen to adapt to you as well.
Indoors, Interior Design, Lamp

TVs have become incredibly smart over the years. They can automatically tweak picture quality, adjust sound for your room, and recommend what you should watch next. Yet once you bolt one to the wall, there’s one decidedly old-fashioned thing about it: it’s staying exactly where you put it.

Perlegear has an interesting solution at IFA 2026. The company is showing off the AX1 Smart Adaptive Mount, a motorized TV mount that detects where you’re watching from and automatically moves the television to a more comfortable height. It’s an idea that sounds a little excessive until you think about how many different ways we use TVs today. You might be sitting on the couch for a movie, standing up for a workout, playing a motion-controlled game, or have kids watching from the floor. The ideal screen position for one isn’t necessarily great for the others.

A 120-inch screen from 8 inches away? XGIMI just made it happen
XGIMI has unveiled its new AURA 3 Series at IFA 2026, led by a 4K projector that can throw a massive 120-inch picture from just 8 inches away.
Indoors, Interior Design, Electronics

Getting a 120-inch screen into your living room usually sounds like a project that requires a lot of space, careful planning, and perhaps a very understanding partner. XGIMI's latest projectors want to make that considerably easier.

Announced at IFA 2026, the new XGIMI AURA 3 Series consists of the AURA 3 Pro and flagship AURA 3 Max. Both are ultra-short-throw (UST) projectors designed to sit close to a wall rather than across the room. With the Max, you can get a 120-inch picture with the projector sitting just 8 inches away. That's already useful if you don't want a projector dangling from your ceiling, but XGIMI has packed in plenty of home theater hardware to make the resulting giant picture worth looking at.
