Samsung is already the king of folding screens in the mobile realm, but it seems that they’re looking to extend that reach to displays everywhere. The Korean tech giant’s Flex Hybrid OLED display, unveiled at CES 2023, offers more than a super-sized version of the foldable screen on their Fold and Flip phones though. The 10.5-inch screen is divided into two portions: the left folds, while the right is capable of sliding in or out on the go, altering the screen’s size.

This means that one switch up display aspect ratios on the fly when consuming different forms of content. While this foldable smartphone-turned-tablet remains a concept for now, Samsung isn’t a stranger to turning concepts into actual gadgets – after all, their folding phones were concepts before too. They also previewed larger 17.3-inch displays that could stretch from one, or both sides, potentially for use in laptops.

Even as brands continue to push the boundaries of how big and bright TVs can conceivably go, one thing never changes – how annoying wires can get when it comes to home decorating, spring cleaning and everything in between. LG’s new 97-inch (!) OLED M3 TV introduces instead a wireless home solution.

A so-called Zero Connect Box takes the brunt of the wire mess, with three external HDMI ports to link up to your gaming consoles or cable set-top box. The box then transmits everything wirelessly to the absolutely massive OLED screen with 4K quality at 120Hz, resulting in a clutter-free TV space (yes, you are basically transferring the mess elsewhere).

The only caveat – wireless transmission means that latency can make or break your experience. LG plans to tackle interference causing said latency with a dynamic algorithm that optimises transmission paths on the fly – only time will tell how effective that that really is. Both the price and release date for the Signature OLED M3 have yet to be revealed.

Headlining homegrown tech brand Razer’s CES 2023 lineup was the pro version of their Leviathan V2 soundbar. It comes with all the next-gen audio fidelity, power and range you’d expect of the gaming giant – with the added bonus of an integrated infrared camera dynamically tracking the position of your head, automatically shifting that auditory sweet spot on the fly to match your noggin. The soundbar will be available from February this year, though pre-orders are already open.

Gamers adore faster monitor refresh rates, as it leads to better responsiveness for that slight competitive edge that could make the difference between victory and soul-crushing defeat. That’s what makes Dell’s latest record-breaking monitor such a coup – its supersonic refresh rate of 500Hz when overclocked (or 480Hz as is) in full high-definition places Alienware’s gaming tech far ahead of its nearest competition, which usually averages around 360Hz. Pricing hasn’t been announced just yet, but this product is aimed squarely at professional gamers, so expect it to have an equally weighty price tag.

Japanese firm Icoma’s CES 2023 contribution is the ultra-portable Tatamel folding e-bike. The 50kg two-wheeler, inspired by the founders’ time spent at the toy company responsible for the Transformers (featuring robots that can transform into vehicles), is just 69cm in length and height when folded up, meaning it can fit snugly under your work desk.

It even doubles up as a portable battery station for charging your devices in a pinch. Its only available in Japan for now, but this might be useful as a last-mile solution in space-strapped Singapore.
