The best 4K projectors for 2025, tested and reviewed
We may earn revenue from the products available on this page and participate in affiliate programs. A 4K projector is the ultimate tool for cinephiles or gamers who want to get the most out of their ultra-high definition films and games without getting into multi-thousand-dollar screens and burdensome furniture. Only the most expensive TVs can even come close to the literal scale of a projector's maximum screen size, and then you deal with the challenges of anchoring a 110-inch flatscreen. Moreover, 4K projection technology has evolved enough to fall significantly in price over the past couple of years. Spending a lot for the absolute premium models is still possible, but most of our recommendations will set you back under 2,000. A 65-, 75-, or even 85-inch 4K TV could still be the most cost-effective choice, but there's no denying that 4K projectors--like our best overall, the feature-rich XGIMI Horizon S Max--have become much more accessible and versatile.

Use your TV as a computer monitor: Everything you need to know
You're not the first person who's wondered what it would be like to have a giant desktop monitor. Think of all the multi-tasking and immersive gaming you could manage if you had a 50- or 60-inch monitor instead of a standard 24-inch monitor! But you've probably noticed that as monitors get bigger, they also tend to get prohibitively expensive. You've probably already got a big screen in your house, though--a TV. While you can use a TV as a computer monitor in most cases, that doesn't mean it's the best option.
Unsupervised Task Graph Generation from Instructional Video Transcripts
Logeswaran, Lajanugen, Sohn, Sungryull, Jang, Yunseok, Lee, Moontae, Lee, Honglak
This work explores the problem of generating task graphs of real-world activities. Different from prior formulations, we consider a setting where text transcripts of instructional videos performing a real-world activity (e.g., making coffee) are provided and the goal is to identify the key steps relevant to the task as well as the dependency relationship between these key steps. We propose a novel task graph generation approach that combines the reasoning capabilities of instruction-tuned language models along with clustering and ranking components to generate accurate task graphs in a completely unsupervised manner. We show that the proposed approach generates more accurate task graphs compared to a supervised learning approach on tasks from the ProceL and CrossTask datasets.

How to Daisy Chain your Macbook Pro for Machine Learning.
Apple says interestingly, goodbye to 15" inch Macbook Pro and introduced 14" inch Macbook Pro and 16" inch Macbook Pro in today's event at October hardware event. The touchbar vanished by adding functional keys in place of the touchbar. Event more interesting adds HDMI port in place of Thunderbolt ports including the SD card bringing back retro upgrades. I have had HDMI ports, Magsafe charging port, USB ports, and Thunderbolt port in the older machines.

Hisense U8G-series 4K UHD TV review: Nice for the price, especially for gamers
It's a very nice set, although we missed the deep black performance we've seen in some competitors outfitted with mini-LED backlights. The U8G-series is available in both 55-inch ($950) and 65-inch ($1,300, reviewed here) sizes. It uses a 120Hz, 10-bit, 4K UHD (3840 x 2160) panel featuring quantum dots for extremely accurate color. The TV is a bit on the heavy side, weighing close to 53.4 pounds on the wall (with VESA 400 mm x 400 mm mount), and 56 pounds including the stand. The bezel is thin, and there's a classy look to the whole deal.

Vizio Elevate review: This Dolby Atmos soundbar's swiveling drivers are no gimmick
A soundbar with motorized, swiveling drivers that bounce the audio cues in Dolby Atmos and DTS:X soundtracks off your ceiling? Sounds like a gimmick, right? Well, the concept works splendidly in the Vizio Elevate, a 5.1.4-channel Because its four front height drivers (two additional height drivers are in the surround speakers) can swivel up for Dolby Atmos and DTS:X content or down for standard 5.1 or stereo audio, the Elevate always makes the most of its available drivers. Also on board is built-in Chromecast and DTS Virtual:X (for those who want or need it), as well as three HDMI ports and eARC support.
Sonos Arc review: this soundbar sounds simply fantastic
Multi-room audio specialist Sonos is back with the Arc, the firm's first Dolby Atmos-enabled soundbar that totally transforms your TV's sound. It is a single box of tricks that combines a smart speaker, wifi music sound system and home cinema kit in one, but like most soundbars of this type it can be dogged by audio-picture syncing issues when used with TV set top boxes – more on that later. The Arc looks deceptively simple. It is a sleek, one metre-long cylinder that is surprisingly compact considering there are eight separate woofers, three tweeters and a collection of electronics all hidden behind the matt metal mesh. Four of the woofers face you directly through the front of the Arc.
