In a modern technology world where distance is becoming increasingly commonplace, maintaining connection and a sense of closeness is important. Recent developments in artificial skin by German scientists from Saarland University represent a new era in virtual interactions.

Hisense 90L90H 5K 4" Laser TV 15.02.2023

Hisense has launched a new large-screen laser TV. Its main module is made in an aluminum case, takes up minimal space during installation and provides good brightness when displaying HDR content.
Hisense

Hisense 90L5H 4K is a DLP projector kit with ultra short throw optics and 90" display. The novelty provides image output in resolution up to 4K (16:9) with brightness up to 2100 lm and contrast ratio 3000:1. Laser TV supports HLG, HDR10 + and Dolby Vision standards, and two built-in 15W speakers are responsible for sound quality.

The Hisense 90L5H 4K is already on sale in Europe and South Africa for $3099.
