Samsung Electronics announced it has won a CES 2016 Best of Innovation Award in the Accessible Tech category for one of its new Smart TVs, which will be revealed in full at CES in Las Vegas, on January 5th, 2016. Held annually, the CES Innovation Awards honor outstanding design and engineering in consumer technology, with the winning products displayed for everyone to experience at the Innovation Awards Showcase, live at CES.
“Designing a television that offers the best possible picture quality and is accessible for all our customers is something we aim to achieve with all our SUHD and Smart TV models,” said John Ryu, Vice President of Visual Display Business at Samsung Electronics. “We are proud to have our Smart TV recognized for offering best in class accessibility by the CES Innovation Awards. We will continue to introduce new ways that allow all consumers to enjoy the best TV viewing experience possible.”
Voice Guidance: A More Convenient User Experience
Samsung’s Voice Guidance feature makes a range of TV functions easier to use, including setup, web browsing and other steps typically only shown on screen. Using their normal conversational voice, people can easily interact with the TV, for example to record upcoming programs and manage various Smart TV applications, as well as to request information such as show times and program titles.
Amplify and Clear Voice: Improving Sound Clarity
The Amplify function of Samsung Smart TV can enhance high-frequency sounds to further improve sound clarity. Another Clear Voice function makes spoken dialogue easier to hear by adjusting frequency of the voices in the TV.
New Graphical User Interface: Enhanced Readability
New Smart TV’s graphical user interface offers better overall on-screen readability with twice the contrast of previous models.
Good Design is Accessible Design
Samsung’s drive to constantly develop its TV technology with advanced yet intuitive functionality and new accessibility features, helps provide an improved TV viewing experience for all consumers. Voice Guidance, Amplify and Clear Voice functions are also designed to be simple and easy for everyone to use.

The
monitors has 5 buttons that control the monitors powers and
settings, it has
1.5 watt speakers at the rear with a Kensington lock slot, and connectors for
power Port, 2 HDMI port (2.0MHL & 1.0), VGA port and Audio In & out
port, beside all these it also includes AC/DC adaptor, power cable, VGA cable
and HDMI cable and an Audio cable all these inclusions makes the setting any
easy one and also added the value of the monitor. The VX2363Smhl-W uses a 1080p IPS panel, albeit a lower-speed 6-bit one,
which, when combined with the monitor’s, Super Clear Image Enhancement
Technology, 50M:1 MEGA Dynamic, and 2ms (GTG) response time, makes for quite
the combination of color reproduction, viewing angles, contrast, and
performance for gaming and its color reproduction and contrast are both
expectedly impressive.
Playing game on this Monitor was quite comfortable, as it uses an IPS
panel which usually comes with response times as high as 12ms, (GTG). The
response time is both incredibly welcome and remarkable. We were also quite
happy with how smooth the output on the monitor was in spite of having a
standard refresh rate of 60Hz. The built in
speakers performed a lot better than I had expected.
I would like to recommend to my readers if anyone
needs a quite descend monitor not too heavy on the pocket, and looking for an
affordable 23 inch 1080p IPS monitor. This is a superb
monitor for anyone – and a bonus to those looking for a cheaper way into
triple-screen gaming.

One of the things Apple’s iPhone 6 Plus and iPhone 6S Plus are popular for are their battery life, but on the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6S, battery endurance is sadly not a bullet point on the list of pros. The Cupertino giant is no doubt aware that its 4.7-inch iPhones aren’t as long-lasting as their Plus counterparts, so it has made its debut in the smartphone battery pack market with an official battery case for the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6S.
Apple is calling it the Smart Battery Case, and is touting an additional 18 hours of web browsing on an LTE connection, 20 hours of video playback, and up to 25 hours of talk time. The case – rated at 1,877 mAh – is charged with the company’s proprietary Lightning cable, and once connected to an iPhone, the battery level of the case and the phone itself will be visible in the phone’s notifications center. If both the battery case and iPhone are at 100 percent battery level, the former’s battery will be depleted before the phone switches to the internal battery.
The Smart Battery Case will be available in charcoal and white for USD99.

Symantec Corp., one of the leaders in cybersecurity, today announced plans to beef up its Cyber Security Services business globally with an investment of more than US$50 million. A portion of this investment has been leveraged to build a new dedicated Security Operations Center (SOC) in Singapore, inaugurated today, doubling Symantec’s Cyber Security Service expertise in the Asia-Pacific region.
Now more than ever, organizations require a deeper security understanding and strong proactive security measures to gain the upper hand on adversaries. Symantec’s SOCs analyze 30 billion logs worldwide each day to provide enterprise-wide protection to help organizations strengthen their defenses and respond to new threats as they emerge 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year.
With the launch of the SOC in Singapore, businesses will have access to intelligence, accurate threat detection and proactive notification of emerging threats to ensure their most sensitive data is protected. The new SOC will also enable businesses to shorten the time between detection and response, reduce operational costs and proactively counter emerging threats.
“Today, technology alone may not stop advanced threats. Organizations need security experts on hand to interpret and prioritize the critical events that need action. By investing in people and security IQ in Singapore and the Asia-Pacific, Symantec is expanding its visibility into the region, enabling us to bolster customers’ security operations capabilities, and protect their critical information and assets,” said Samir Kapuria, SVP and general manager of Cyber Security Services at Symantec.
“The Asia-Pacific region is incredibly diverse and multi-cultural. This allows us to attract highly educated multi lingual security professionals who bring expertise and experience from many vertical industries and global security organizations and are well-versed in the security landscape,” added Kapuria.
Last year Symantec’s team of cyber professionals protected organizations from more than half a million web attacks per day, according to the 2015 Internet Security Threat Report. The investment will enable the company to expand its Chennai, India SOC as well as the Tokyo, Japan SOC. The next phase of the company’s SOC expansion will take place in Europe, with more facilities expected to open within the next 12 months. Once complete, Symantec will have eight SOCs worldwide, extending their current team of 500+ certified cybersecurity professionals to address every stage of the cyber-attack lifecycle.
Symantec has also invested significantly in its cyber services-enabling technology, including big data analytics and distributed computing. With an increasing demand to manage customers’ security environments with Security as a Service, Symantec Cyber Security Services offers a strong portfolio, including Managed Security Services, DeepSight Intelligence, Incident Response and Security Simulation training. This announcement follows a US$20 million investment in existing SOCs across Australia, India and Japan in the past year.
