When I was first offered the new Veltech 43in Roku TV for review, I was sceptical. After all, considering it’s just £209, I expected a compromise: subpar picture quality, sluggish performance, or sound that could double as background noise for a 90s dial-up modem.

Right now pretty much everything with a plug promises to use artificial intelligence to improve our lives in one way or another, but some forms of AI are easier to appreciate. LG is using the tech inside its latest VX washing machine line to keep your clothes in good nick – and as someone that’s ruined more than his fair share of shirts with questionable wash cycles, this is one Skynet future I can get behind.
