offering deeper black levels. This LG
TV is expected to be 5 mm thin with
a contrast ratio of 100,000:1 and a response
time 1,000 times faster than in
a regular LCD.

Nest Thermostat
Although not common in India, people in the west always face issues
maintaining the indoor temperature. Hence, Nest has developed
a learning thermostat that programmes itself
while saving energy. Within a week, it
will learn the temperature requirements
throughout the day and
start adjusting itself accordingly.
For instance, if someone turns
the temperature down at night,
it will do the same. The neat design
has a circular display where
a green leaf appears when the
house is on energy saving mode.
The company even allows one
to control the temperature from
a distance - online or through a
smartphone application. |

its range of accessories set for its Xperia
smartphones. The timepiece which

Player
streaming
the audio
from your

the device
and then to
your ears
via headphones.
Sony also confirmed that
you'll be able to enhance the Smartwatch
further through downloadable
apps which will increase its functionality.
