Samsung The Wall Luxury Display

Samsung's modular microLED technology is coming home with The Wall Luxury. Designed for permanent display in upscale homes, it can be configured in a variety of sizes and aspect ratios, from a 73-inch, 2K build to a 292-inch, 8K monster. Less than 30mm thick with a bezel-free design, it's meant to blend into its surroundings, switching to Ambient Mode when turned off for display of curated paintings, photos, and video art. It will be available globally next month.

LG 88-inch Z9 8K OLED TV

The world's first 8K OLED TV, the 88-inch 88Z9 from LG is a room-dominating display. To drive all those pixels — four times the resolution of 4K — LG is leaning on a deep learning algorithm to power the Alpha 9 Gen 2 chip inside, which can automatically recognize incoming content quality and pick the best way to upscale it, adjust the tone mapping curve, and even refine Dolby Vision content for ambient conditions to optimize the picture. The set also supports HDMI 2.1 and Dolby Atmos with virtual 5.1 sound, has Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa built-in, and sits on top of a sleek, open stand.

Samsung Sero Pivoting TV

More and more of our shared content is vertical (not necessarily a good thing), which makes our horizontal main screens ill-suited for viewing it. Samsung aims to fix this with the Sero. This 43-inch QLED display sits on a floor stand that allows it to rotate from horizontal to vertical as needed. NFC makes beaming content from a phone or tablet simple, and built-in 4.1-channel, 60W speakers provide surprisingly robust sound. It launches exclusively in South Korea this May.

Sony Master Series Z9G 8K LCD TV

It's not easy to make a five-figure TV seem cheap, but all one needs to do is look at the price of the 98-inch Sony Master Series Z9G to make its 85-inch counterpart look like a steal. While the still-huge 85-incher will sell for $13,000, the wall-sized 98-inch set is priced at a staggering $70,000. Both sets are powered by the Picture Processor X1 Ultimate chip, with an algorithm developed specifically for 8K that can detect and analyze each object in the picture for optimal detail and contrast. Built-in speakers are tuned to position the sound to match what's on the screen and are also compatible with Dolby Atmos. Netflix Calibrated Mode and IMAX Enhanced further ensure the best picture quality possible, and the sets run on Android TV with Google Assistant for hands-free operation.

Yesterday Vision Classic Console TV

Televisions have slowly evolved from handcrafted pieces of furniture into the giant black screens of the current age. Inspired by the wood consoles from the 1960s, this Classic Console is handmade from Mahogany with a large volume Mahogany dial. The retro piece houses a 19" 4:3 monitor with full-range loudspeakers and a built-in Raspberry Pi computer. The computer runs all the best video game emulators — from SNES to Atari 2600, and the 1280 x 1024 screen has HDMI inputs on the back to give games and streaming video a visual upgrade. The screen even uses a custom barrel-distortion effect to mimic the curve of a retro monitor.

Logitech Harmony Express Remote

Controlling your entire home theater using nothing but your voice is nice. Getting everything to work correctly, not so much. Until now. Logitech's Harmony Express sidesteps the various skills and hacks previously necessary by baking Alexa right into the remote. When combined with the IR blaster/hub, it can control most TV sets, cable boxes, gaming consoles, streaming sticks, and speaker systems via voice command. The companion app makes configuration a breeze, and also has a remote finder that will ping the real remote should it disappear into the couch cushions.

NASA Graphics Standards Manual

For those that grew up in late '70s and '80s, the graphic designs of NASA are some of the most memorable of the period, appearing on everything from hats to the Space Shuttle. This reprinting of the NASA Graphics Standards Manual celebrates this outstanding identity system, which was used from 1975 to 1992. Recreated for public use for the first time from the personal copies of the original designers, Richard Danne and Bruce Blackburn, it covers the logo, placement, color schemes, and other design standards that helped capture the imagination of a generation and make the American space agency a lasting, iconic part of our legacy of exploration. Included are scans of Danne's personal copy of the original manual, a forward from Danne, an essay by Christopher Bonanos, reproductions of the original NASA 35mm slide presentation, and scans of the 'Managers Guide', a follow up booklet distributed by NASA. Each copy is individually wrapped in a foil static shield, adding even more nostalgic rocket-age flair to this iconic design reference.

High Camp Flasks

There's nothing quite as rewarding as a sip of your favorite spirit after a long day in the outdoors, and High Camp Flasks make it easy to enjoy that beverage. Both the 375mL Halflight and 750mL Firelight flasks are vacuum-insulated and integrate magnetic, double-wall tumblers into their cylindrical design, ensuring you've always got a cup on hand wherever you may be. Each tumbler magnetically attaches to the flask as its lid so you won't misplace it and leave it behind. The larger Firelight flask has two integrated cups so you can share your vice with a friend, while the smaller Halflight has one cup for partaking on your own while on the go. Each is made from stainless steel and has an electropolished interior that won't retain or impart any flavors to your drinks. Being released for retail exclusively with Uncrate, the 375mL Halflight is only $69 before it goes to full price later this year.

Sony 16K Crystal LED Screen

4K content is still somewhat hard to come by and 8K content is nearly non-existent, but that's not stopping Sony from future-proofing its latest installation. Found at Yokohama-based cosmetics firm Shiseido's new research center, this 16K screen is built using Sony's Crystal LED technology and has 64 times as many pixels as a regular 1080p TV. It also measures a colossal 63' x 17', stretching between the first and second floors of the space, and for the time being, will showcase animal wildlife footage Sony created just for this installation.

Red Carpet Home Cinema

Enjoying first-run films from the comfort of your own home is a dream for many. Red Carpet Home Cinema makes it possible — for a price. First, your application has to be approved, and only a select few get in. A special in-home media server is required, which includes professional installation, and we assume a load of anti-copy protections. Once that's all set up and taken care of, you can access select films from 20th Century Fox, Paramount, Warner Bros., Lionsgate, and Annapurna, at the cost of $500-3,000 per film, with two viewings allowed within the 36-hour rental window. Currently available in Los Angeles and New York, the service hopes to expand to new markets in the near future.

Apple TV Plus

It's been an open secret that Apple's working on a streaming TV service. Now we've got the name and (some) details. Apple TV Plus launches this fall inside the redesigned Apple TV app, which will be available not just on Apple's devices, but on TV sets from Samsung, Sony, LG, and Vizio, as well as on Roku and Amazon streaming devices. The original programming runs the gamut from comedies to documentaries and is backed by some of the biggest names in the business, including Oprah Winfrey, Steven Spielberg, and J.J. Abrams. Pricing has yet to be announced, but we do know that new shows will be added every month, will be entirely ad-free, and will be available for offline viewing via download.

LG Signature R9 Rollable OLED TV

Debuted in concept form at the 2018 CES, LG's roll-up TV is now a real product. Dubbed the R9, it has a 65-inch OLED display that rolls up into a sleek metal box, which also houses a 100W Dolby Atmos audio system hidden behind Kvadrat fabric. While the entire screen can hide away inside the enclosure, the Line View mode leaves a quarter of it visible for tasks like music playback. Powered by the α9 Gen 2 processor with deep learning AI, it supports Dolby Vision with automatic picture adjustment, has Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa built-in, and will also support Apple AirPlay 2 and HomeKit when it arrives in stores later this year.

Samsung 4K MicroLED Display

Samsung's MicroLED debuted last year in the guise of a 146-inch screen dubbed The Wall. This year brings a more practical, still not ready for production example: a 75-inch, 4K display. As with the prior set, MicroLED's self-emissive qualities enable it to deliver incredible picture quality, including true blacks and brilliant colors. Thanks to its bezel-free, modular design, the display can also be configured or expanded to fit the owner's needs, including adopting different aspect ratios with zero compromises in picture quality.

Samsung The Frame QLED TV

Samsung's original The Frame took advantage of a clever Yves Behar design to blend into a wall of other static frames, displaying artwork when turned off. The 2019 version does the same but employs QLED technology for deeper contrasts, deeper and darker blacks, and 100% color volume. In addition, The Frame's Art Store has expanded to provide access to over 1,000 pieces of art, a tenfold increase compared to launch, and it still uses a nearly-invisible cord for discrete connection of other components.

Weiss Standard Issue Field Watch

Combining time-honored techniques with modern materials, Weiss Watch Co. is the only watchmaker designing, engineering, and assembling nearly every function and detail of their watches in the United States. This re-imagined edition of their flagship Standard Issue Field Watch boasts a refined design that is thinner and better for daily wear. One solid piece of surgical grade stainless steel is machined and polished by hand to create the case, while sapphire crystals on the front and back add strength and display the precise mechanical movement. The in-house manual-wind movement is comprised of over 100 Swiss parts that are hand-finished and assembled in Los Angeles. The mechanical watch features a classic black dial with small-seconds complication and hands made of steel, finished with black oxide treatment and filled with lumed paint for increased legibility in low light conditions. And the dial and subdial are machined from a single piece of naval brass before being hand painted. The Field Watch is finished with a waterproof, leather-lined black canvas strap for a dial/strap combination that is exclusive to Uncrate. Each one is individually numbered and arrives in a custom-built California pine wood box that is built by hand in the USA. Unlike the normal made-to-order process of purchasing a Weiss timepiece, our limited release is available for immediate shipment.

Uncrate is an Authorized Dealer of Weiss Timepieces, extending the full Weiss Watch Company 2-year warranty.

LG HU80KA 4K CineBeam Projector

You can mount it like a normal projector and be very happy with the picture its laser light-powered 4K DLP engine provides. That would be a shame. What makes the LG HU80KA so special is its tower-like design, which lets you grab it by the integrated handle and plop it down on the floor/ground/table/wherever to enjoy that same outstanding picture quality at up to 150" in size. Two 7W speakers and a built-in retractable power cord team up with built-in Smart TV wireless streaming to ensure you won't need to run a ton of cables every time you move it, and the mirrored lid folds down to protect the lens during transport.

Nebula Capsule II Projector

Roughly the size of a soda can, the original Nebula Capsule provided quality picture and sound from a highly portable package. The Capsule II only improves on the same formula. It offers a resolution bump from 480 to 720p, using DLP technology to project images up to 100" on nearly any surface. The speaker system has been significantly improved and is now 60% louder with deeper bass, and Android TV, autofocus, and built-in Google Assistant support make setup and finding content a snap. The battery lasts for up to three hours, and charges in less than that.

BenQ HT2550 4K Home Cinema Projector

4K TVs have been affordable for a while, but until recently, 4K projectors were prohibitively expensive. Which is a shame: the merits of 4K on a 50-inch set are debatable, but there's no questioning the benefits of extra resolution when you're looking at a screen over 100 inches in size. The BenQ HT2550 4K Home Cinema Projector uses DLP technology and high-quality glass to deliver razor-sharp images without taking a blade to your wallet. In addition to 4K, it has support for HDR with Rec.709 color accuracy for realistic color reproduction, automatic keystone correction for easy setup, and a lamp life of up to 15,000 hours, so it'll likely go years without needing a replacement.

There's also support for CalMAN calibration software, a new Netflix Calibrated Mode developed with the streaming service to deliver the absolute best picture quality, and new Acoustic Surface Audio+ technology that hides the center sound actuator behind the screen, just like at a theater.
