LG 2021 ULTRAWIDE MONITOR

The new LG UltraWide monitor for 2021 is going to dominate pretty much any room you put it in, thanks to its curved, 39.7-inch Nano IPS LCD display panel, running at a 5K resolution. Creatives will appreciate that 98 percent of the DCI-P3 colour space is covered, while there’s a decent maximum refresh rate of 72Hz too. The appeal of the monitor stretches to its connectivity too – there are DisplayPort, HDMI, USB and Thunderbolt 4 options, but we’re still waiting for LG to tell us how much it costs.

SONY SRS-RA5000 AND SRS-RA3000

The SRS-RA5000 and SRS-RA3000 are spatial audio speakers, making use of Sony’s emerging 360 Reality Audio format to give the impression of full 3D sound from a single speaker. These stylish and vaguely futuristic-looking devices will pump out immersive, room-filling sound from multiple sources, and where the 360 Reality Audio standard isn’t supported, the speakers will attempt to apply some clever algorithms to whatever source you’re listening to.

£280 (SRS-RA3000) / £500 (SRS-RA5000), sony.co.uk

SAMSUNG JETBOT AI 90+ VACUUM

The robots are coming... still... and they’re getting smarter all the time. The JetBot AI 90+ robot vacuum from Samsung comes back with sensors (including a LiDAR scanner) and artificial intelligence that means it can navigate a home more smartly than ever before, identifying the differences between obstacles that it comes across and plotting an efficient route around. It can even empty itself and doubles up as a security camera for keeping an eye on your property while you’re away.

LINKSYS VELOP AXE8400

Just when we had got used to Wi-Fi 6, along comes Wi-Fi 6E, offering the same superfast speeds but even more channels for devices to operate on – basically it means less congestion and more devices online simultaneously. The Linksys Velop series has already been given a Wi-Fi 6E refresh in the form of the AXE8400 model, another mesh networking node that can banish dead zones from your home and ensure wireless speeds that are as fast as your broadband provider will allow. Expect worldwide availability later in the year.
