Discover a Whole New World of Detail with the Galaxy A51 Macro Camera

When taking a photo, sometimes we find ourselves harnessing our camera’s zoom feature to capture certain special things in as much detail as possible. The unique textures and colors that desserts possess are one such example; when capturing a particularly impressive cake or sweet treat, harnessing our smartphone camera’s zoom comes in handy when looking to record it in all its glory.

The Galaxy A51 and Galaxy A71’s powerful quad camera features a 5MP Macro camera that, compared to a normal camera lens, can capture a subject and all its intricate detailing at a 30 to 50 mm range. To see this revolutionary close-up technology in action, Samsung Global Newsroom used the Galaxy A51’s Macro lens to take the best shots of 12 different appetizing desserts. What new worlds of detailing will the Macro lens uncover?

Getting Up Close and Personal with Surface Details

One of the benefits of a camera such as the Macro lens on the Galaxy A51 and Galaxy A71 is its ability to capture details that human eyes aren’t capable of perceiving. Not only does the Macro lens record all of an object’s surface detailing, it is able to focus on a subject automatically without any need for the user to manually adjust the settings.

Top Tips:
 How to Become an Expert Food Photographer

① Be aware of lighting!

In order to take a good close-up picture of food, you need to be aware of your light source. For general portrait-orientation photography, one is advised to avoid any kind of backlight from behind a subject. But food photography is different because it is about adding three-dimensionality to two-dimensional details. If you can use backlighting well, you can harness light effects to showcase the dynamism of your subject, such as its glittering moisture or its vivid colors.

Bringing Out Every Texture

The different textures of a dessert don’t just make it enjoyable to eat – they make a sweet treat enjoyable to photograph, too. Once you have ascertained the most compelling textural aspects of your dessert when snapping a picture, you can use the Macro lens to bring out these multifaceted details.

② Make your own reflector!

A professional photography studio will use a reflector to direct and change the light composition to take top-quality shots. When you are in a café or at home, a piece of white card, such as a business card, can work as a reflector. Place the card to the side of your smartphone’s camera to amplify the light. You can even substitute this white card with a small piece of A4 paper, if you that is all you have on hand.

Capturing the Rainbow

The best desserts can be enjoyed with our eyes as well as with our taste buds, so being able to capture every vivid color detail of your sweet subjects is important. A contrasting background, too, can serve as another way to bring out every dynamic shade of your dessert when using the Macro camera.

Pastel shades can often use their vividness when captured on camera, but thanks to the Macro camera, these chocolates retain their appeal

③ Celebrate the unique!

Even if you and your friend order exactly the same thing at a café, almost never will you see two dishes come out that are perfectly identical. Garnishes might be placed differently, textures might overlap differently and colors might vary, meaning that each plate is unique. Paying attention to the details particular to your dessert when photographing it is a surefire way to capture a shot that will be unlike anyone else’s.

Making the Most of Intricate Layering

Desserts that are layered, be it with flavors of different textures, consistencies, or colors, are as aesthetically pleasing as they are appealing to the palette. In order to get that perfect cross-section shot of your dessert, it is essential that every detail stands out. The Macro camera is the perfect tool for doing this, even when the layers are fillings and therefore not as immediately obvious.

GameTop – A Company That Distributes Legitimate Free Full Version Games

In this week’s interview, we bring you the man behind the huge, successful web-based game store, GameTop.
GameTop
 has a strong user base of over 20 million yearly. Here, you’ll find a library of free full version PC games that can be easily downloaded onto your PC. Their games contain no in-game advertisements and are free of malware and viruses. Often seen as a disruptor in the ecosystem of the game industry, they have been serving free full version games to their audience for over 10 years. We talk to the founder of GameTop, Sergei, to understand more about the company.

Q: Could you tell us the reason behind a free game distribution company?

Sergei:
Sure. Our company has a vision of making games, free for everyone. Since young, it has always been my dream to own a library full of free games. However free games were constantly associated with unwanted software, viruses, and piracy. There were also free games that constantly toyed with my feelings. These games often state “free games download” however after a few levels of gameplay, they force me into paying them before I could continue with my game. Thus I was determined to create a legitimate free full version game site for everyone; Game downloads where you can safely own and enjoy. GameTop lives by this vision. We don’t want cost to be the limiting factor for them to have access to fun games.

At the same time, we don’t want the developer’s hard work to go down the drain. That’s why we work with hundreds of developers, licensing their games. These provide them with an additional stream of income, making sure that their hard works are appreciated. Through such collaboration, developers’ work will be exposed to our huge user base. Their work will be screened on various channels of our free game sites, giving them the exposure and recognition that they deserve.

Q: Who downloads your games?

Sergei:
Well we have a wide spectrum of people downloading our games. Ranging from kids to elderlies. In fact, our main traffic is made up of retirees and elderlies. They have been with us ever since we have started and are very supportive of us. Our audience is thankful for us for making their entertainment free of charge, adding colors to their lives. These are the feedbacks that we have accumulated over the years. This is also what keeps us going.

Q: What are some of the audience’s favorite genres?

Sergei:
That would be our Hidden object games. We have an extensive library of hidden object games. Most of them are chargeable elsewhere. This might explain the popularity of this game genre. Nevertheless, Match 3 and Racing are also well-loved by our audience.

Q: What are the possible futures of GameTop?

Sergei:
 I see myself bringing more free full version games to the game community. Going into different niches such as mobile and tablets so that our users can be entertained on the move. Currently, we have two sister sites FastDownload and MacStop. FastDownload focuses on high speed downloading of small PC game files while MacStop specialises on free full version games for Mac OS. In the near future, users will be able to download free games onto their mobile. Free full version games will be available on various devices and operating systems. We will also work with more developers to bring in an even larger variety of games for our users.

Q: Is there anything in particular that you hope your audience would understand?

Sergei:
 Yes. Although we distribute our games for free, people need to understand that there are a lot of processes going through in making these games. Even free games require money for licensing. These unsung heroes behind the scene need money for their bread and butter. Therefore I hope people will continue to support the game community in every way they can. In GameTop, every user we have, give us the support needed to bring in more free games to their screen.

Take Better Care of Yourself When Home Appliances Can Take Care of Themselves

It has been a challenging time for many of us, and it’s safe to say most of us have spent time being at home more than we ever had before. Some of us finally have free time to binge-watch long overdue favourite shows on Netflix, connect with friends via video calls, and spend more money when shopping online. Interestingly, it is also during these times that our innate creativity shines, and it shows in how we developed mad skills of a home chef or a barista. The list goes on when it comes to occupying ourselves to stay safe and sane – be it transforming a messy room into an aesthetic space or fixing household stuff on our own.

Engaging in these activities has made us realise how important home appliances are for our daily lives. As a result, we are likely to pay more attention to the appliances that we own, now more than ever.

There are many things we have never expected to do ourselves but end up doing it anyway. This includes managing our home appliances that are a significant part of our daily routine. Like anything else, they have a set life expectancy.

However, did you know there are home appliances that can take care of themselves? In this article, we would like to share some of the convenient features of home appliances that take good care of themselves.

Safer drinking water with self-sanitising water purifier

To generate the fresh, hygienically safe supply of drinking water they were designed to deliver, water purification systems need to be well maintained. LG’s PuriCare™ Tankless water purifier takes the worry out with a built-in UV LED light that activates automatically every hour to prevent the build-up of contaminants, cleaning and sanitising the tap to eliminate 99.9% of harmful germs. Not just that, we can activate the five-minute sanitising process manually by pressing the Self Care button. Now, that’s a clever technology!

Cleaner home environment with self-cleaning air conditioner

Most of us never think about how our air conditioner works. Press a button, cold air blows and voila! When there’s no cold air, that’s when we realise that something is wrong. That something can be the heat exchanger in the air conditioner. The auto cleaning feature in LG’s Dual Inverter Premium Air Conditioner helps to provide clean air by eliminating bacteria, mould and odours that can otherwise accumulate in an indoor unit. How it works?

The auto cleaning function made us easy when it helps to dry the wet heat exchanger, by eliminating humidity, bacteria and mould – resulted air to remain cool, odourless, fresher air to breathe in and a smile to our face. No further action required, nice!

Self-diagnose appliances to tell you real-time condition

Feeling anxious about what you can do if there is something wrong with your appliances? Fret not – LG’s Smart Diagnosis™ has got your back. It could tell you what is wrong with your home appliances.

For instance, you can simply allow your refrigerator to communicate with your smartphone using the control panel:

Holding the lock button on control panel for a few seconds

Open the right-side door and hold your phone in front of the Smart Diagnosis label.

Then, press and hold the ‘FREEZER’ button for 3 seconds while continuing to hold your phone until you hear a beep sound.

Keep the phone in place until the tone transmission has finished and ‘END’ will appear on the control panel.

That’s pretty much it. You can access to the diagnose result and useful information on your smartphone for solving issues through LG’s SmartThinQ app.

There you go, some of the innovative features to lessen our burden of appliance upkeep. Owning great home appliances isn’t enough to guarantee our satisfaction if they are taking too much of our time and effort to preserve. With these features, they can be easier to care for so we can focus on more enjoyable pursuits, such as pampering ourselves with more self-care activities and spending quality time with loved ones at home.

While completely self-maintaining, self-cleaning home appliances may still be years away, home appliances brands like LG are working to ensure that their appliances require as little thought as possible to operate and maintain. That’s definitely a good thing for us!

Keep Up Productivity Levels With The Right Tech Treats At Home

In the wake of the coronavirus, a lot of people are now doing their best to
operate from home
 and immediately encountering a significant problem. Many people struggle to remain productive when they are not operating in the confinements of an office. One of the reasons for this is that there is no structure and no set schedule. There are also literally hundreds of distractions and you might even find that people in your life are not treating you as though you are at work at all. That’s why you need to make sure that you are working to find the right solution and we think that tech could be the answer.

These days tech helps us with various aspects of our life and it could certainly ensure that you are able to keep productive.

Keeping Track Of Time

The first step is always going to be making sure that you are keeping track of time. If you fail to make sure that you stay on track of time, then you’ll soon discover that you actually get very little done through the day. Indeed, it’s possible that you end up at the end of the day realising that you haven’t accomplished any of your goals. So, how do you keep track of time? Well, if you have a Macbook or a similar piece of tech
like an iPad
, this hardware will provide updates in terms of how long you have spent on different apps and web pages throughout the week. You might notice a worrying trend here including spending hours on social media. If you know that social media has no relevance to your work, then you need to fix that problem. So, how are we going to do this?

You can explore different software options. Some software is going to allow you to block off different sites that you spend a lot of time on or find particularly addictive. Think of this as an adult version of a child lock. You can even use some software and apps to set timers so that the websites are only blocked off through the working day. This means that once it’s 5pm or whatever time you’re ready to finish, you can enjoy these apps as much as you like until your heart’s content.

You might also want to think about
setting goals
 throughout the day too. We’re going to talk about this a little further time. But when you set goals, you will be able to make sure that you know how long you should be focused on one task compared with another. If a task is taking longer than it should you will know you’re not staying productive. You can use tech to set times, alarms and alerts to let you know if this is an issue.

Staying Connected

A lot of people think that if you are working from home then you are always going to be a solopreneur. But that’s not the case. The reality is that you are probably going to have other employees on your team. But rather than being in the office next door, they are going to be operating remotely. That makes it a lot more difficult to keep track of where they are and whether they are on the same page as you.

Again, tech can provide the answer here. First, you need to make sure that you are utilizing an instant messaging app. This is more useful than sending emails or connecting on the phone because it’s instant. They can pick up the message and reply in seconds. It’s also often encrypted. That’s useful if you are exchanging sensitive information and this will be the case for some businesses in certain industries. For this, you can explore messaging apps like Whatsapp which are even
HIPAA compliant
.

ALSO READ

7 SEO Strategies to Boost Your E-commerce Sales
In terms of keeping everyone on the same page with projects, you might want to think about using a shared platform. A shared platform will allow you to show a project and share updates in real-time. This is also a great way to check that everyone on your team is also keeping productive as well.

The Right Hardware

Next, you need to make sure that you are investing in the right hardware from day one. You might resist upgrading the hardware that you use at home because it can be quite expensive. If you are buying a new laptop, tablet, phone or
computer system
, it could end up costing you close to a thousand dollars. You might not have that in your budget and that’s totally understandable. However, it’s important that you don’t underestimate the clear benefits of upgrading your tech. For instance, you might have tech that is five or even ten years old. First, this is going to heat energy, so in terms of efficiency, you’re already going to be at a significant disadvantage.

As well as this, old tech is always going to take a lot longer to load. This means that the day is going to start later and you will always get less done. Furthermore, you might find that the tech you have now is simply not suitable for the traditional working day. Remember, the typical home laptop is not designed for a full workday. You’ll find that the system quickly becomes limited in terms of power and software.

If you are worried about the cost of this type of hardware, you can think about claiming through your tax with a deduction. It’s important to be careful with deductions. You need to make sure that you are not accidentally claiming significantly more than you should. This is why even small businesses are advised to make sure that they invest in the services of an accountant. They will help you keep on the right track of the legal line. In terms of how this connects to technology, there is automated software available. This will allow you to effectively manage your own accounts, keep track of your spending and even fix your tax all at the same time. It can save you from any headaches that you could encounter further down the road.

Set A Schedule

You definitely need to make sure that you are setting a schedule when you are working from home. Otherwise, you are not going to be able to stay on target. The schedule needs to match the goals that you have with your business. You can
create your own weekly schedule template
 to ensure that this is the case. You can also use automated software to ensure that projects are updated regularly and that you are getting enough done. Be aware that a schedule is only going to be effective if you push yourself to follow it. Checking your schedule needs to be the first part of your business day.

Staying Active

Finally, you might think that to stay productive you need to work as much as possible through the day. However, research seems to suggest this is not the case. Instead, you will remain far more productive if you make sure that you take breaks through the day to exercise and stay active. This could include anything from
desk yoga
 to a run at lunch. By staying active through the day you will be able to make sure that your brain is firing on all cylinders. This can lead to fantastic levels of innovation and exciting new possibilities for your business. Again, tech can help here. With the right tech, you can easily keep track of how much exercise you are doing throughout the day.


LG’s Iconic InstaView Refrigerator Hits Sales Milestone

LG Electronics’ premium InstaView Door-in-Door™ refrigerator hit a milestone this month when it reached one million in sales worldwide since its introduction in 2016. With an average of more than 700 units sold every day, this large-capacity refrigerator from LG is now available in approximately 150 countries in six continents.

LG Electronics’ premium InstaView Door-in-Door™ refrigerator is designed to deliver an elevated culinary lifestyle, striking the perfect balance between form and function. It boasts stylish aesthetics and practical features that have won recognition from some of the world’s most prestigious design awards such as Red Dot Design Award and iF design Award.

“This milestone is a testament to LG’s ability to develop differentiated, high-quality products that have propelled us to the top of the ranks in many home appliance categories,” said Dan Song, president of LG Electronics Home Appliance & Air Solution Company. “Today’s appliances include as much technology as a computer or smartphone and our customers have extremely high expectations of them. Our advanced technology and customer-first approach is resonating with consumers who have made InstaView one of the fastest selling refrigerator brands as long as refrigerators have existed.”

LG InstaView gets its name from the refrigerator’s chameleon-like panel in the door that can be transformed into a transparent window with just two knocks on the glass. This allows users to see what’s inside without opening the door, reducing cold air loss. Along with InstaView, Door-in-Door™ provides easy access to favorite drinks and snacks while minimizing exposure of the main refrigerator compartment to room temperature air, helping to decrease cold air loss by more than 41 percent.
*

To satisfy growing global demand of InstaView refrigerators, LG has added the convenience-enhancing feature to more refrigerators in its lineup, including French-Door and Side-by-Side, among others. What’s more, the popular InstaView technology can now be found in other LG appliances such as the LG SIGNATURE Wine Cellar and ThinQ™ Range.

LG’s LED Signage Featuring Non-Contact Connectors Delivers Better Images, Easier Installation

LG Electronics (LG) is introducing its most advanced digital signage solution yet, the innovative LG LED Signage (model LSAA), the latest in display technology and design. The LSAA offers even better image quality and easier installation
1
 than its popular predecessors, which propelled LG into one of the leading digital signage solution providers in the industry.

The LSAA features a block-assembly design that makes constructing large displays a cinch. LG designed its solution around a single LED cabinet hub (600W x 337.5H x 44.9D mm) to provide power and signal to the entire signage without additional cabling between cabinets to save time, hassle and costs while delivering up to 4K UHD resolution and 16:9 aspect ratio. The ability to smoothly send and receive signals wirelessly is due to LG’s non-contact connector technology with power being sent to each display via pin connectors located on the edges of the LED cabinet hub.

What’s more, the LED cabinet allows installers to connect multiple displays to achieve the desired size. With straightforward installation and expandability, the LSAA can be set up or reconfigured onsite in a fraction of the time it takes other LED displays. Wall-mounts and frame-type accessories offer a number of installation options to meet the diverse requirements of different site conditions and customers’ needs.

LG LSAA with the same AI-powered Image Processor found in LG’s popular high-end TVs delivers vibrant images
2
 via its self-emissive display technology and narrow 1.2mm distance between pixels, with gaps to narrow even further to less than 1mm in the second half of the year. To ensure better efficiency, the product employs the common cathode method where the cathodes of the LEDs are common and connected to a single pin to prevent unnecessary power consumption, delivering only the required voltage to each sub-pixel.

“Our LSAA series sets a new standard for LED signage solutions in the commercial display market,” said Paik Ki-mun, senior vice president and head of the Information Display business unit of LG Electronics Business Solutions Company. “Innovation in products such as the LSAA enables LG to lead the LED signage industry with superb picture quality, enhanced ease of installation and unbeatable value.”

HUAWEI Launches Malaysia’s First 5G Tablet – The MatePad Pro 5G

HUAWEI Malaysia today announced the availability of the new flagship tablet, HUAWEI MatePad Pro 5G which offers a heightened experience to consumers with 5G connectivity built to accomplish the unthinkable. Touted as Malaysia’s first 5G tablet, HUAWEI MatePad Pro 5G represents a complete rethinking of what it means to empower creativity, helping consumers to do more with innovative technology and new productivity tools. Beginning 26 June, Malaysian can own the first 5G flagship tablet at the attractive price of RM3,299 plus exciting free gifts, while stocks last.

Simplicity that Belies Craftsmanship

Exuding elegance with a unique design and HUAWEI FullView Display that melds technology with style, HUAWEI MatePad Pro 5G features the world’s highest tablet screen-to-body ratio, at 90 per cent, with ultra-narrow 4.9mm bezels surrounding the 10.8-inch 16:10 display. The micro-curved design adopted by HUAWEI MatePad Pro 5G ensures a comfortable hold while its magnesium alloy frame keeps the tablet light yet durable. It utilises a unibody design where antennas are embedded into the middle frame and back panel for a clean and minimalist look.

The HUAWEI MatePad Pro 5G comes in an elegant vegan leather finish. With a texture resembling genuine leather, the vegan leather finish in Forest Green exudes a unique and irresistible charm.

Rethink Performance: Kirin 990 5G SoC

Embedded in HUAWEI MatePad Pro 5G is the latest Kirin 990 5G SoC, manufactured with the 7nm+ EUV process to deliver enhanced performance and power efficiency. With a base clock of up to 2.86GHz, the CPU inside adopts an innovative triple-tiered architecture comprising two big cores, two mid cores and four tiny cores. The 16-core Mali-G76 GPU greatly improves performance and battery life for a smooth gaming and entertainment experience. Embedded in the HUAWEI’s first flagship 5G tablet, the Kirin 990 5G SoC supports both non-standalone (NSA) and standalone (SA) architectures and TDD/FDD multi-frequency bands, enabling it to accommodate diverse networks and networking modes for global travellers to enjoy high speed 5G connectivity.

With Huawei’s proprietary Da Vinci NPU architecture, AI computing capabilities are optimised by balancing load between the two big cores and a tiny core. Equipped with up to 8GB LPDDR4X dual-channel RAM, HUAWEI MatePad Pro 5G also launches apps at blazing fast speeds. All this performance is supported by the industry’s first ultra-thick 3D graphene cooling system that synergises with AI for heat management, allowing the tablet to remain cool even when demands are high. This cooling mechanism also benefits other scenarios that typically generate high amounts of heat, such as downloading files on a high speed 5G connection and wireless/reverse wireless charging.

5G Cloud Gaming breaks down the barriers between platforms and improve gaming experience with 5G network. The ultra slim HUAWEI MatePad Pro 5G, which weighs less than 500g and measures just 7.99mm thick, can also bring users an excellent gaming experience. Users can not only play traditional mobile games, but also PC and console games on the tablet anytime, anywhere.

HUAWEI MatePad Pro 5G delivers excellent battery life thanks to the high-capacity 7250mAh battery and the power-saving features integrated into Kirin 990 5G SoC and EMUI. It supports the 40W HUAWEI SuperCharge, allowing users to charge their tablet extremely quickly. HUAWEI MatePad Pro 5G also supports 27W wireless charging and up to 7.5W wireless reverse charging, providing a convenient and reliable alternative for consumers to keep the tablet, smartphone and other wireless charging-enabled devices powered throughout the day.

Rethink Intelligence: Connectivity

HUAWEI MatePad Pro 5G introduces a range of revolutionary innovations that fundamentally change the way devices interact with users and with each other.

EMUI 10.1 brings us a new seamless AI lifestyle. HUAWEI MeeTime supports up to 1080p FHD video calling, which lets HUAWEI MatePad Pro 5G’s users enjoy cross-platform high definition audio and video calling anytime. Screen Sharing lets users share their active screen during video calls. This feature also supports live mark-ups, with which users can interact with each other while discussing the matter at hand. Show the items you like on your screen for their advices or go through presentation with your colleagues in separated locations.

HUAWEI Share enables Multi-Screen Collaboration, which breaks down the barriers between Huawei devices with advanced cross-platform functionality. Developed based on the distributed technology, Multi-Screen Collaboration enables drag-and-drop file transfers between Huawei smartphones and Huawei tablets. Peripheral sharing lets users type on the smartphone using the tablet’s keyboard and screen, play music saved on the smartphone with the tablet’s speakers and more. This solution also makes it possible for the user to pick up calls or respond to text messages directly from the tablet, and use the tablet to simultaneously unlock their smartphone, facilitating a seamless multi-device experience. The newly added shared clipboard lets users copy text on one device, and then paste it on the other for higher productivity.

Rethink Creativity: A Companion for Work

HUAWEI MatePad Pro 5G supports the HUAWEI M-Pencil to deliver a natural and intuitive writing experience, making it an absolute joy to write on glass surfaces. With 4,096 levels of pressure sensitivity, tilt support and a tip made of a unique composite material, users can expect incredible accuracy, responsiveness, and sensitivity from the HUAWEI M-Pencil. Placing the HUAWEI M-Pencil on the top of HUAWEI MatePad Pro 5G automatically initiates Bluetooth pairing and magnetic charging. The new and improved HUAWEI Notepad and Nebo for HUAWEI natively support HUAWEI M-Pencil to help users capture their inspiration whenever it strikes. HUAWEI Notepad supports Tap to wake and record. With newly added lasso feature, users can also drag, drop, copy, and paste contents in bulk. Nebo for HUAWEI comes with powerful AI capabilities and features such as interactive ink, break, diagram to bring a more convenient and efficient handwriting experience.

HUAWEI MatePad Pro 5G supports the Smart Magnetic Keyboard that can be easily connected via Bluetooth.

In this mode, users can quickly look up the files they need using the powerful search functionality. Users can also switch on Multi-Screen Collaboration in PC mode. New WPS features including voice note and smart pen mode will bring an efficient and productive working experience to HUAWEI MatePad Pro 5G users.

Rethink Entertainment: Mobile Cinema

HUAWEI MatePad Pro 5G comes with a 16:10 IPS panel featuring a 2K QHD (2560×1600) resolution at a pixel density of 280ppi. Capable of fully displaying the DCI-P3 cinematic colour gamut at 540 nits brightness and 1500:1 contrast ratio, the QHD display offers a superior entertainment experience. HUAWEI ClariVu Display Enhancement technology augments the powerful hardware by significantly improving colour reproduction and image clarity, ensuring every frame is sharp and rich with colourful detail.

Delivering an audio experience that rivals that of home theatre setups, the tablet supports Histen 6.0 to drive 3D stereo sound effects. The high-amplitude quad-channel stereo quad-speaker tuned by Harman Kardon reproduces even the most intricate sounds with impeccable clarity.

Nostalgic Games Brought to Life

Gaming is a huge part of many people’s childhood and adolescence; some of us have even retained leisure gaming well into our adulthood. In this new normal, the gaming industry has seen a large spike in players. Not to mention, gaming and esports are now ‘the’ trend in Malaysia and across the globe, with many dubbing esports as the sports of the future.

More people are venturing into the gaming world these days. Some are constantly on the lookout for the next trending game while others look back to nostalgic games that they really enjoyed at some point of their young lives. Don’t tell me you’ve never thought about playing Metal Slug ‘96 again. Some games are classics no matter how much time goes by. Good thing is, the days of pixelated graphics are long gone. No one wants to play their games seated on the floor, inches away from the screen because you are trying to see through the pixels.

Back in the day, ‘big-screen gaming,’ meant plugging an early-generation console into a TV that is not designed for, or capable of carrying out the task. Even with the best graphics of the time, images were blocky, and the lag was profoundly painful. However, game designs and graphics have matured throughout the years. Gaming now is truly an experience like you’ve never known before. Widescreen TVs such as the LG OLED TVs are built for gamers. They are ideal for immersive gaming and out-of-the-world visuals. With a TV like that, now is the perfect time to bring back the latest resurrected gaming titles that we all love. Yes, even Metal Slug is coming back this year! Where are my Marcos and Eris at?!

Final Fantasy 7 Remake (2020)

Final Fantasy 7 was released for Sony PlayStation in 1997. Arguably the most famous RPG game ever sold, it is probably to no surprise that Final Fantasy 7 has been remade for a new (and old) audience. The remake updates and transforms the original using all the tricks at the modern game-maker’s disposal, while still maintaining the quirks and ‘feel’ that gamers found so irresistible late last century. The combat is so much richer this time around, as is the lush detail and stunning graphics that bring the iconic city of Midgar to life.

The LG OLED TV has a self-emissive display technology that delivers true blacks, an infinite contrast ratio and colours of extraordinary depth and vibrancy. This makes game worlds appear more three-dimensional and alive. The clarity OLED offers also assists players in spotting any enemies lurking in the shadows and ensures that even the smallest details can be seen in the darkest settings; an advantage brought about by the natural properties of OLED and independent pixel control. If you ever think that you’ve come close to seeing the city of Midgar in real life, this would be it. Not even Shinra can stop you from this wholesome experience.

DOOM Eternal (2020)

id Software’s ubiquitous first-person shooter has spawned many follow-ups and expansions and continues to define 90’s gaming for many. DOOM Eternal, the latest entry in this long-running franchise, dials everything up several notches over even its most recent predecessor from 2016. The weapons, the fighting, the worlds, the hideous enemies and improved physics; it all adds up to a thrilling, sometimes frightening, gaming experience.

Delivering HDMI 2.1 support, LG OLED TVs offer a smoother gameplay for the win, allowing fast-moving content in higher resolution and smooth, synchronised graphics. It’s a more lifelike gaming experience that would quicken your heart rate while you try to fend off the forces of Hell. LG OLED TVs also provides a fast response time of 1ms with low input lag. The demons will not stand a chance no matter how fast they may be. Excitement would definitely be at an all-time high!

Shadow of the Colossus (2018)

Shadow of the Colossus revisits the 2005 original of the same name – a popular action-adventure game for PlayStation 4. Whilst players enjoyed working their way through the twists and turns of the story, the game industry itself lauded Shadow of Colossus as one of the true greats for its inventive gameplay and emotional depth. The game is also held in high esteem for its art direction and design, with many referencing it when arguing that video games can indeed be works of art. With its focus on good design and storytelling, the remake was also well received, picking up several accolades and a new generation of fans.

Travelling on an emotional journey to restore the life of Mono will take time and you would not want to take your eyes off the game in case any colossus shows up. Fortunately, LG OLED TVs also have the Eye Comfort Display feature that reduces occurrence of eye fatigue. They are designed to support intense gaming sessions, so you don’t miss any crucial moments. You wouldn’t want to miss any movements by Mono now, would you?

The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening (2019)

A reimagining of the 1993 Game Boy classic, The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening is a kid-friendly action-adventure game available for Nintendo Switch. The gameplay and top-down viewpoint will be familiar to anyone who played the original or the 1998 rereleased version for Nintendo DX. However, the look of the game itself is distinctive among the series, with characters taking on a cartoonish, almost toy-like quality that brings its own charm with it. Fun and endearingly quirky, the game looks great when cast from Switch to big screen.

Resident Evil 3 (2020)

Resident Evil 3 – Capcom’s remake of its 1999 PlayStation title, Resident Evil 3: Nemesis – takes players on a horror-filled adventure in a world fallen victim to the zombie apocalypse. Available for Windows PC, Xbox One and PlayStation 4, the remake was released in tandem with an online multiplayer game (Resident Evil: Resistance) set in the same dystopian reality. The gameplay and graphics have obviously been much enhanced, but some fans of the original were left disappointed by departures and differences from the source material and by the overall brevity of the game.

For widescreen gameplay, LG OLED TVs support connection to both PCs and consoles, allowing players to enjoy the games they love from either platform with ease. The lag is practically non-existent and those amazing graphics we mentioned look even more amazing thanks to the TVs’ support for G-SYNCi and LG’s OLED panels. Plus, LG OLED TVs HGiG Mode provides a more immersive HDR gaming by matching with the identified TV specifications and performance levels on your TV, showing every game visual at its absolute best.

But, if you are an avid gamer who prefers monitor gaming with the feel of a keyboard, fret not, LG Class UltraGear™ Nano IPS 1ms Gaming Monitor with G-Sync® Compatible can deliver a gaming experience unlike any other. The Nano IPS gives the feel of actual combat with true colours, making fighting zombies even more vivid than you can imagine. Its G-Sync® Compatible eliminates screen tearing and minimises stutter for a smoother and faster gaming experience.

As more people opt to stay indoors, gaming can be another channel in which we can form bonds with the people we care about. Whether it is something fast paced like DOOM Eternal or an emotional ride like Shadows of Colossus, gaming is always better with two or more players. And you can even get your family to play with you! Just remember, in games, no mercy would be shown, and your innocent young sister may be the best DOOM Eternal player you’ve ever seen.


Samsung Odyssey G7 Monitor Range Optimized for Gamers

Samsung Malaysia Electronics announced its Odyssey lineup of curved high-end gaming monitor, the Odyssey G7 is now available in Malaysia! The curved monitor goes without saying that for any gamer, experienced or new, having a PC that is able to keep up with the precision and control fundamental to today’s gaming experiences is of utmost importance.

A key part of this is having a monitor that offers the visual acuity required by today’s high-definition gaming style. Samsung Electronics’ new gaming monitor, the Odyssey G7, has been optimized to provide the best gaming experience possible; Samsung Newsroom tried out the Odyssey G7 range – comprised of a 27-inch Odyssey G7 monitor and a 32-inch Odyssey G7 monitor – to learn more.

A Sleek Design With Full Customizability

The Odyssey G7 possesses the sleek, sophisticated design characteristic of today’s gaming equipment. The front bezel has been designed with a dynamic curved shape, and if a user turns the monitor, circular lighting on the back of the device emits a subtle blue light.

The monitor’s design can also suit any user, regardless of their height or gaming preferences, as users can adjust the height of the monitor via its stand for utmost comfort and convenience when gaming. Users will find that, thanks to the Odyssey G7’s slim stand, even intense gaming sessions with lots of mouse movement will remain comfortable.

No More Lag

In order to ensure you are able to make that winning move when gaming, your monitor needs to have a fast response time and high refresh rate to ensure you never miss the opportunity for victory. If the response time is low, your mouse’s actions will be delayed; however, the Odyssey G7’s super-fast response time of 1ms(GTG) allows for the instantaneous application of mouse commands.

When it comes to games that are graphic-intense or include a lot of character movement, a gamer’s worst nightmare is the appearance of afterimages onscreen that can get in the way of successful gameplay. This is no problem for users of the Odyssey G7, which possesses a high screen refresh rate of 240Hz, meaning that gamers can enjoy smooth transitions and complete control over their gaming experiences.

A Totally Immersive Experience

Whether your focus is on a multi-player or single-player game, total immersion in your game is a key factor in helping you play your best. The Odyssey G7 monitor features a curved QLED panel with the world’s first maximum curvature of 1000R which means, whether you are looking at the center or the edge of the screen, you have a consistent field of view.

QLED 8K: Where AI Upscaling Meets Deep Learning

In recent times, screen picture quality has transcended high definition – these days, it’s all about ultra-high definition. Although today’s hardware has been developed to support not just 4K content but 8K content as well, only recently has content begun to actually be produced to 8K quality standards. Therefore, in order to improve the video display quality of content made before 8K existed, upscaling technology exists to keep up with today’s ultra-high definition standard.

Samsung Electronics’ 2020 QLED 8K TV lineup continuously receives praise for its devices’ innovative display quality, sound, design and many other areas. In particular, the range showcases an impressive evolution with regards to its video upscaling technology, at the core of which is Samsung’s AI Quantum Processor 8K.

Samsung Newsroom interviewed the team from the Picture Quality Solution Lab of Samsung Electronics’ Visual Display Business to learn more about this revolutionary technology.

Leveling Up Deep Learning for Optimized Upscaling

When a low-resolution video plays on a high-resolution display, the resulting image quality can be below a viewer’s expectations. AI (artificial intelligence) upscaling is a technology that converts low-resolution videos into ones of more vivid and natural resolutions by analyzing the video data and adapting it intelligently.

In 2018, Samsung Electronics implemented its machine learning-based AI 8K upscaling technology for the first time. This technology harnesses machine learning wherein a human-designed algorithm intelligently analyzes the various video qualities, including line, light and color, and improves each of these for an improved display resolution. Such deep learning capabilities permit a TV to analyze and process video features whilst simultaneously learning thanks to an artificial neural network that acts in the same way as the human brain.

The members of Samsung’s Picture Quality Solution Lab focused on developing deep learning algorithms that enable displays to always showcase optimum video qualities without human intervention. “Deep learning enables more precise and efficient image quality improvements than can be achieved by humans alone,” noted Hyungjun Lim, who developed the AI upscaling technology’s texture generation method.

This operational advantage is what led the team to develop an AI upscaling technology that combines machine learning with deep learning – Samsung’s AI Quantum Processor 8K. “Previous machine learning technology brought about enhanced sharpness to display picture quality, but now our technology can also offer more delicate texturing,” noted Hyunseung Lee, who developed enhanced edge sharpness for the AI Quantum Processor 8K. “Images with complicated textures, like mountain or grass landscapes, can now be upscaled into 8K quality more naturally.”

Solving the Conundrum of Deep Learning

Although deep learning has limitless potential, there are still obstacles to be overcome. The Picture Quality Solution Lab team had to go through countless trial-and-error scenarios in order to make their technology market-ready. “It was difficult for us, at first, to clearly follow and comprehend the algorithm being developed by the artificial neural network of the processor,” highlighted Cheon Lee, the developer of the AI Quantum Processor 8K’s network structure and learning method. “The artificial neural network’s high hardware chip power consumption was an issue we had to solve, too.”

After a lengthy development process, Samsung was eventually able to solve the problems that had arisen thanks to its range of differentiated technologies. “We achieved the highly efficient display quality performance of our processor by making it a hybrid technology that combines complexity along with different aspects of deep learning and machine learning,” explained Lee.

Dreaming Bigger, Better and More Realistic with AI

It wasn’t that long ago that the day-to-day application of AI-powered technologies was but a distant dream to us. Nowadays, technology has improved rapidly to the end of improving the lives of people across many different areas of everyday life.

“We are now able to categorize videos of differing quality levels in a more detailed way while also bringing these AI categorization technologies to the commercial market,” noted Seungho Park, who worked the AI Quantum Processor 8K’s noise elimination and improving the detail contrast range. “Such technologies permit next-generation displays, such as The Wall, to be able to showcase all kinds of videos at the most realistic qualities possible today.”

This AI-powered innovation is not just limited to upscaling technologies. There exist a variety of ways to harness AI to improve the screen qualities of displays, including video quality categorization, noise elimination, data-compression-caused distortion restoration and spatial or time-based resolution restoration, to name just a few. “Our goal is to continue Samsung’s legacy of providing leading TV viewing experiences by combining the advantages of our next-generation displays with AI technologies that can restore videos to realistic-level qualities, regardless of their original qualities and resolutions,” affirmed Park. The future of QLED 8K is looking bright.
