If you like the idea of a big-screen setup but don’t want to juggle extra streaming boxes or cables, this officially licensed Google TV smart projector is a compelling all-in-one option. It’s currently $237.45, down from $369.99, which means you’re getting 36% off a projector that behaves much more like a smart TV than a barebones display.
With built-in Google TV, Dolby sound, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and support for consoles and smartphones, it’s designed to handle movie nights, binge sessions, and casual gaming without much fuss.
Under the hood, this projector is doing a lot more than simply taking an HDMI signal and throwing it on a wall.
Here’s what it brings to the table:
Because it’s running Google TV natively, you get quick access to big-name apps and recommendations, just like you would on a modern smart television.
A lot of projectors give you a nice picture but leave everything else up to you—external streaming box, extra audio, tricky setup. This one tries to reduce that friction:
At $237.45, you’re paying less than many 4K-capable TVs, but you’re getting the ability to scale the “screen size” much larger and move it wherever you want. It’s a good fit if you want a theater-like experience without permanently dedicating a wall or buying a giant panel.
If you’ve been tempted by the idea of a smart projector but don’t want the hassle of extra dongles and complicated audio setups, this Google TV–powered 4K UHD projector with Dolby sound is a very clean solution. It handles streaming, sound, and device connectivity in one package, and it’s happy indoors or outdoors depending on your plans.
At $237.45, down from $369.99, it’s a solid way to jump into big-screen viewing with a familiar Google TV interface and enough flexibility to keep up with both movie nights and console sessions.
Amazon has unveiled a new Alexa lineup featuring the Echo Show 16, Echo Time smart clock, and Alexa Photo Frame. Two speakers join them: an upgraded Echo Dot with a built-in smart home hub and the Echo Studio with Home Camera, which lets Alexa+ see its surroundings. Both are available now for $99.99 and $249.99, respectively.

Instagram is making its way to yet another screen, and this time, Apple TV is getting a taste of the Reels rabbit hole. The company has launched a dedicated Instagram app for Apple TV, bringing Reels, longer videos, and live shows to the big screen. So, if watching one quick clip on a phone somehow turns into an hour of scrolling, there's now a much larger screen for that.

Audio-Technica, a brand well known for making some of the best studio and professional headphones on the market, has just come out with the ATH-AWX7000, which the company itself claims to be its "finest headphones ever." The new flagship closed-back headphone has debuted at an eye-watering price of $3,799. It combines hand-finished Japanese woodwork with a newly developed 58mm driver.
The earcups are made from Kiso cypress, a prized wood historically used for Shinto shrines and Buddhist temples. Each housing is finished by hand with traditional Echizen lacquer, which brings out the grain and is expected to darken over time. The frame and sliders are finished in a deep navy kachi-iro shade traditionally associated with samurai.
