As Mr Hyde is to Dr Jekyll, Moriarty is to Sherlock Holmes, and pesky biplanes buzzing above the Empire State Building are to King Kong, burn-in is the ultimate nemesis of OLED TVs. This permanent form of image retention can be caused if static images are displayed too long on a screen, though thankfully there are ways modern OLEDs prevent burn-in that you don’t even notice. I’ve owned close to a dozen OLED TVs since I picked up my first back in 2015 (I really like upgrading televisions), and over that time I’ve learned a few tricks to help reduce…

Whether you’re about to climb a mountain or dive to the depths of the ocean, you’ll want the best action camera in your hand – or attached to some part of your body. These small, lightweight and highly survivable cameras are built specifically to go where even the camera phones can’t. Mountable on helmets, surfboards, bikes, cars and more, action cameras can capture smooth, stable and cinematic footage in all kinds of situations. And their portability and wide-angle lenses make them ideal for on-the-hoof vlogging, too. GoPro has long been the go-to brand in this category, becoming essentially synonymous with…

Apple’s September event is usually the fruit company’s biggest consumer hardware moment of the year, and the 2026 version looks set to follow that tradition with a new range of iPhones. Yet there may be some key differences this time around. The event should take place in the second week of the month if previous form is anything to go by and usually – though not always – Apple events are on a Tuesday. That means we are almost certainly looking at the event taking place on Tuesday 8 September. So what’s set to be different this year? Multiple reports…

As long as people have been travelling to space, wristwatches have also been travelling to space. Yep, space missions have resulted in some of the most iconic watches around, including the Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch, a timepiece so synonymous with lunar exploration that it pretty much defines the genre. Space watches were one of the biggest trends at Watches and Wonders this year, with a number of brands reaching for the stars. Here we’ve collected six watches that have either been in space, are inspired by space travel, or are destined for space in the near future. With only six watches…

Whoever said ‘size doesn’t matter’ clearly never had the Hasselblad Earth Explorer Kit bolted to the front of their Oppo Find X9 Ultra. After taking the girthy glass addon with me on a recent trip, I’m a convert: it turns what was already one of the best smartphones of 2026 for photography into a something that can genuinely replace a DSLR in your camera bag. It helps to have a great baseline, of course. The Find X9 Ultra combines an oversized main sensor with one of the biggest telephotos you’ll find on any phone. Both have huge 200MP pixel counts.…

For me, Google TV is an ideal smart TV platform because it combines streaming services, Google Watchlist, and Android app support into a single interface. But that doesn’t mean it’s perfect. Once you spend enough time with it, certain quirks and limitations start to become obvious. Recently, I spent some time customizing and optimizing the Google TV experience to make it cleaner, faster, and less distracting. It involved everything from replacing the default launcher to removing bloatware and tweaking hidden developer settings. Yes, it took a bit of effort, and it was well worth it.

The Steam Deck OLED is one of my favorite gaming devices of all time. And I don’t say that lightly — I’ve been playing handhelds since the prehistoric times of 1991 when my granddad bought me a Sega Game Gear. I also loved the OG LCD version of Valve’s teeny PC even if I was using my Steam Deck wrong until I made this one change. Though the likes of the Lenovo Legion Go 2 and ROG Ally X have since far outstripped the Deck in terms of pure horsepower, I still say Valve’s machine is the best handheld PC…

I really hate how modern society has reinterpreted the meaning of “thirsty.” Yet I can’t deny that within the current context of said word, I’m going wobbly at the knees dreaming of Micro RGB display technology. There are five reasons I could never go back to LED after upgrading to OLED, but now with Micro RGB tech gathering pace, my current LG G3 might be the last OLED TV I ever own. Micro RGB is a new type of display technology that is quickly gaining momentum. By using incredibly small blue, green, and red self-emitting pixels, these emerging TVs don’t…

There’s no shortage of good documentary films out there, and plenty of ways to find them. But if you don’t want to go too far off the beaten path, you can’t go wrong with perusing the documentary section on HBO Max. HBO has been making great docs for decades, and a lot of them have gone woefully underappreciated. That includes Class Action Park, a 2020 documentary that has to be seen to be believed…or at least read about below. Class Action Park is about the deadliest, most fun theme park on Earth Fun and danger, hand in hand In 1978,…

Introduction What to do if you like the look of the Abarth 500e but need more space? Well, having just spent time behind the wheel of the larger Abarth 600e Scorpionissima, I’d say it’ll more than do the trick. This is a larger car, but no less fun than the super compact Abarth 500e, packs a 54kWh battery and delivers 280 horsepower, while also boasting all of the cosmetic appeal that comes with anything from the Abarth portfolio. However, despite the fizzy drive appeal, it lets itself down rather badly by possessing a battery that whilst more than adequate for shorter…
