8K ultra hd mountains

8K TVs are yet to gain significant traction with consumers. 

8K televisions offer a level of resolution that is four times that of 4K televisions and sixteen times that of 1080p televisions. Despite this increase in resolution, 8K televisions have not yet gained significant traction with consumers. One reason for this may be the lack of 8K content available. Most streaming services and Blu-ray discs are only available in 1080p or 4K. Without 8K content to watch, there is little incentive for consumers to upgrade to an 8K television. Another reason for the lack of consumer uptake may be the high price tag.

Sonos Beam 2

The New Sonos Beam is Elevating Home Theater to a New Level.

The second generation of Sonos’ most popular products, the Beam soundbar, has been updated to support Dolby Atmos.

Following the debut in early October, we had the chance to try out the new product, which may not seem like much of an improvement at first glance, but it can really take home theater viewing to a new level in the right circumstances.

In mid-September, Sonos unveiled the second generation of the Beam soundbar, which looks almost identical to its predecessor. It has changed under the hood that makes it Dolby Atmos compatible.

It’s still a step behind the Sonos Arc, but it’s an ideal choice for those who want more than just the sound of a TV and want a system that can be expanded later.

The front grille is now made of polycarbonate (instead of the previous fabric), which helps to provide a better sound experience.

Estimated Cost of Installing a Hardwired Computer Network

Even though there have been massive advancements in regards to wireless networks, a hardwired network is still the faster and more reliable option. If you are looking for a rock-solid network, then wiring your house or business is the best way to go.

Types of Hardwired Computer Network

Modern hardwired networks are typically designed using three cabling options, i.e., Cat 5e or Cat 6 and Cat 7

  • Cat5e cable ( Category 5e ): it’s a pair of twisted copper cable which can deliver speeds of up to a gigabit.
  • Cat 6 cable ( Category 6): it’s a pair of twisted standardized cable which can provide network speeds of up to 10 gigabits.
  • Cat 7 ( Category 7 ): was recently introduced to the market and what makes it distinguishable is the shielded cable that significantly reduces crosstalk.
  • Fiber: Also known as optical-fiber cable, fiber optic cable provides a new alternative for networking. Unlike the Cat cables, fiber optic cable contains thin strands instead of copper and can reach long distances.
