The Omnia is still very much in concept mode a phenomenon popular in the automotive world that has since spilled over into consumer electronics. That is to say that Withings splashiest product of CES 2025 may never be a product. Among other things, a body-scanning smart mirror would likely be cost prohibitive for consumers.According to Withings, Omnia is not just a product its a transformative experience that reimagines digital health possibilities. Certainly the notion of a daily full-body health scan is appealing to many potential customers. It does, however, come on the heels of a decade of failed smart mirror projects.The conceptual product would offer 360-degree body scans, offering up user insight into weight, along with heart and lung health. Other metrics like sleep, activity, and nutrition would presumably come from a connected wearable.The mirror itself would be interactive via touch, coupled with the inclusion of a voice assistant. The Omnia could also serve as a telemedicine portal to healthcare professions, who would gain access to user metrics and offer advice accordingly.Withings says the system is currently in development, pending things like clinical reviews and additional AI features. It does add, however, that some of the above features will be available in some form via the Withings app at some point later in 2025.

Have you ever watched a food scene on TV and thought, wow, I wish I could cook that at home? Maybe it was the il timpano in Big Night, or the beef bourguignon in Julie & Julia. Whatever your show-inspired craving, youre in luck if you buy a 2025 Samsung TV, that is.During its CES 2025 press conference in Las Vegas on Monday, Samsung announced Samsung Food, a new feature on its TVs that leverages the companys AI processor to recognize food on your screen and find a recipe for it.If Samsung Food sounds familiar, thats probably because the brand has been around a while. Samsung bought the food app Whisk in 2019, and rebranded it to Samsung Food in 2023. Today, the Samsung Food app for iOS and Android, which offers tools like a meal planner and AI-guided cooking steps, can also suggest recipes based on a picture if you fork over $7 per month for the premium version.The Samsung Food experience built for TV is a bit more limited in what it can do, unsurprisingly. But in addition to recommending recipes based on what it sees, Samsung Food on TV can show the progress of grocery and takeout deliveries you place through the Samsung Food mobile app. In a press release, Samsung calls out the apps ability to build a shopping list for ingredients based on whats in your fridge. Its truly the ultimate AI sous chef, the company boldly proclaims. Samsung Foods screen-to-recipe tool is intriguing. But well have to see if it lives up to the marketing hype. Recipe app SideChefs AI tool to turn photos into recipes leaves something to be desired, and popular AI summarizers and chatbots like ChatGPT dont perform much better. (Glue pizza, anyone?)Then theres the fact that AI wont do the actual cooking for you. As someone whos too lazy to meal prep these days, much less cook an as-seen-on-TV dish, thats probably a dealbreaker. But if baking the kouign amann from The Great British Bake Off floats your boat, these may just be the TVs for you.Youll find Samsung Food on Samsungs upcoming QN90F, QN80F, and QN70F models.

Samsung's latest HW-Q990F and HW-QS700F lineup debuts with the latest audio technologies and AI-powered dialogue features.

More than a dozen TVs will be a part of Samsung's 2025 lineup, including the company's biggest-ever consumer display

Changes to how you see and connect to Samsung's QN990F and QN900F keep the Korean giant at the front of the 8K TV race.

Generation Beta (years 2025 to 2039) are arriving. They will be digital natives and what I call AI Naturals. AI, AGI, and ASI will be in their lives. Here's the scoop.

html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/loose.dtd" Wow, what a difference a year makes.Last year at CES, Samsung debuted its first 3D gaming monitor as a prototype. It worked, completely glasses-free, and it certainly impressed me at the time. But it was far from perfect, and you could tell it was still early in development.Recommended VideosBut this year, its becoming a real product, and I tried out this new version at CES 2025. The hardware hasnt changed, but the optimization on the software front represents a huge step forward from where it was last year. I played a preview of the upcoming game The First Berserker, which look absolutely stellar. One second, snow was falling from above, scattered around my view of the characters and the next, sparks were flying toward my eyes from an attack by a nearby enemy. That description sound clich, but words fails with this type of thing. It needs to be experienced firsthand to be appreciated. The major improvement this year has to with the sweet spot. In fact, the idea of there being a sweet spot for the 3D effect to work has basically been thrown out. Thats something Acer SpatialLabs monitors still struggle with, which I was reminded of earlier today when I took another look at the current SpatialLabs 27 gaming monitor at Acers product demonstration.Luke Larsen / Digital TrendsBut with the Odyssey 3D, it was all quite seamless. I tried moving my head left to right, scooting forward and backward in the chair, and even sitting up higher versus moving my head down. And still, that immersive 3D effect stayed intact. That means you can sit comfortably or not worry about your positioning at all and still enjoy the 3D effect. It didnt make me dizzy, either it just added an enhanced sense of closeness to the game world completely free of glasses or headsets.RelatedIt may never be one of the best gaming monitors that everyone will own in even a few years, but the quality of the demo at least convinced me that 3D monitors could grow into more than just a gimmick or impressive product demo.Theres one problem, though. While The First Berserker demo looked fantastic, its only one game. And right now, its the only confirmed game to launch on the product when it releases sometime in the second quarter of 2025. Yes, it has the ability to convert 2D content to 3D, but right now, it only works on full-screen videos in a web browser. For The First Berserker, Samsung had to work directly with the developers of the game to really optimize it for the Odyssey 3D. As we all know, anything that demands extra time from game development teams can be difficult.Meanwhile, Samsungs primary competitor in 3D gaming monitors, Acer, has been building out an ecosystem of supported games for years now. There are hundreds of titles to try out in 3D at this point. None of them might look as immersive as The First Berserker on the Odyssey 3D, but the vast library of supported games is impressive. Clearly, Acers approach to partnering with developers through its efforts with SpatialLabs is working but its taken years to get to this point.After speaking with Samsung representatives, however, I got some more details on the companys approach to getting more supported content for the monitor. First of all, I was told that over 10 titles will be supported by the time of launch and that includes Lies of P. Thats not a bad start, and if some momentum builds, that could rapidly expand by the end of the year. But if youre buying this monitor on day one for what I assume is a lot of money that might be fairly disappointing.Luke Larsen / Digital TrendsWithout the ability to rapidly bring titles over, the Odyssey 3D monitor could be doomed to fail. Samsung told me that its exploring the ability to convert 2D games directly to 3D without the input of a developer, though its not currently promising such a feature. That was good to hear. That kind of content would likely never look as good as my demo appeared, but its what may be needed if Samsung hopes to create any momentum with the Odyssey 3D.After all, the idea of game development teams working up implementations for specific monitors feels like a tough sell. Thatll only get more difficult if (and when) other manufacturers throw their hats in the ring. Samsung likely has more sway in the industry than Acer, but developers are always going to want to know how that development time actually helps the success of the game. As with all new things, its a problem of the what comes first the chicken or the egg?If Samsung can build enough support behind the Odyssey 3D by the time the release date rolls around, I think it has the potential to really become an exciting development in the world of PC gaming and monitors. But with only one official game suppported so far, theres definitely a long road ahead.Editors Recommendations

html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/loose.dtd" As if a 500Hz OLED wasnt enough, Samsung has two other monitors its showing at CES 2025, both of which are fairly unique. The headliner is a 4K display that clocks in at 37 inches, which, even after putting my eyes on literally hundreds of gaming monitors, Ive never encountered before.That might not sound like a big deal, but if you look at gaming monitors above 32 inches, you start to realize that it is. When looking at a typical 16:9 display, the vast majority of monitors top out at 32 inches. Above that, you jump straight to 40 or 42 inches, with TV panels repurposed into gaming monitors thats the case with my own KTC G42P5.Recommended VideosSamsung is splitting the difference here. You can find monitors above 32 inches, but the vast majority of them are 21:9 displays. Now, gamers finally have an option when 32 inches isnt quite big enough, but a full-on TV is too much.Luke Larsen / Digital TrendsThe other monitor Samsung showed off is a bit different. The Odyssey G7 is a 21:9 monitor, but it comes with a 5K resolution. Its similar to LGs 5K2K display, which we learned about a few weeks back, but without an OLED panel under the hood.Get your weekly teardown of the tech behind PC gaming Still, its quite the display. With a 5,120 x 2,160 resolution and a size of 40 inches, the Odyssey G7 clocks in at a pixel density of 139 pixels per inch. Thats high. Most monitors aim for a pixel density of 100 pixels per inch, so the Odyssey G7 is quite a bit ahead. Its not as high as the pixel density I recently saw on the Asus ROG PG27UCDM, but its close.RelatedOutside of the pixel density, the Odyssey G7 comes with a 180Hz refresh rate and a 1ms gray-to-gray response time, according to Samsung. It also comes certified with VESAs DisplayHDR 600 and Samsungs own HDR10+ Gaming standard, which uses dynamic metadata for HDR in games.As is typical with Samsungs new monitors at CES, we dont have any pricing or release date details yet. Samsung is generally a bit slower to release new monitors compared to enthusiast-focused brands like MSI and Asus, so I suspect well see the monitors toward the middle of the year. Thats just a guess right now, though.Editors Recommendations

John Higgins / Digital TrendsThey still may not be the go-to choice for consumers when compared to 4K models, but 8K TVs continue to carry some of the most advanced TV technology you can buy, and the 2025 range of Neo QLED 8Ks from Samsung are no exception.Skipping over a letter from 2024s excellent QN800D and QN900D 8K models, Samsung has announced the QN990F and QN900F that feature many of the specs from last year, including the same NQ8 AI Gen3 and Gen2 processors (respectively), and a few key improvements, too.But one of the most notable improvements to both 2025 Samsung 8K TVs is the addition of the companys polarizing Glare-Free tech that made waves last year when it was introduced to its popular S95D 4K QD-OLED model. The feature has proved excellent in bright rooms thanks to its ability to dissipate both ambient and direct light glare, offering what our TV expert, Caleb Denison, said is a more gentle, less invasive effect. Itll be interesting to see if the feature makes similar waves, as its been made brighter for 2025 and will also be available in one of its 4K QLED models this year.The top-of-the-line QN990F will be available in 65-, 75-, 85-, and 89-inch models and is the first Samsung TV to feature its Wireless One Connect Box, a cable-free version of its popular One Connect Box thats been available for several of its TVs over the years. Samsung says Wireless One Connect uses Wi-Fi 7 and Omni-Directional Technology and can transmit 8K content at up to 120Hz wirelessly to the TV from up to 10 meters away, even through obstacles like furniture.Like the One Connect Box, the feature reduces the rats nest of wires running from your media products to the back of your TV, and the Wireless version means you can place the box (and your peripherals) anywhere in the room you like, with the content being beamed to the TV.The Samsung Wireless One Connect Box on display at CES 2025 in Las Vegas. John Higgins / Digital TrendsThe QN990F also benefits from Samsungs 8K Upscaling Pro that it says elevates lower-resolution content up to stunning 8K quality, ensuring incredible detail and clarity in every frame. It also boasts Color Boost Pro, which analyzes every scene and frame and enhances color, and other AI picture enhancements. The QN990F features a 6.2.4-channel, 90-watt, Dolby Atmos capable sound system and supports 4K gaming at 24oHz VRR.The step-down Samsung QN900F will come in 65-, 75-, and 85-inch models, and while it doesnt get the Wireless One Connect Box treatment (it can still work with the wired One Connect, though), it benefits from the same upscaling, HDR remastering, and sound upgrades, and still has its solid 70-watt, 4.2.2-channel Dolby Atmos sound. It will feature a new metal frame design.The 115-inch Samsung Neo QLED 4K TV on display at CES 2025. John Higgins / Digital TrendsOn to the 4K QLEDs. Samsung has announced three models for 2025, one more than last year. Theres the QN90F, QN80F, and the new QN70F, which is a new entry point into Samsungs QLEDs thats an upgrade of the affordable Q70D. Samsung says that all three 4K QLED models will include Click to Search, Samsung Food, and Live Translate AI features.The flagship QN90F will be available in 43-, 50-, 55-, 65-, 75-, 85-, and 98-inch models, but Samsung has also pushed the size boundaries here, too, adding a new massive 115-inch model, its largest ever consumer display, for those with the space and the deep pockets to accommodate it. Samsung says that the 115-inch model features something called Supersize Picture Enhancer that optimizes picture quality for the ultra-large screen, so you can go bigger without the blur.The QN90F is also the lone 4K QLED in the range to get the improved Glare-Free tech. It has also has received an upgrade to the third generation of the speedy NQ4 AI processor, which it will need to power the improved AI 4K Upscaling Pro and AI picture quality features. The QN90F also features a 60-watt, 4.2.2-channel Dolby Atmos-capable sound system.One rung down on Samsungs Neo QLED ladder is the QN80F that comes in 50-, 55-, 65-, 75-, and 85-inch models. This beast is also available in a 100-inch version. Specs provided to us pre-CES 2025 dont say if the QN80F is getting an upgrade to the NQ4 AI Gen3 processor like the QN90F, but our fingers are crossed that it does. The QN80F features a 30-watt, 4.0-channel Dolby Atmos-capable sound system.Last on the Neo QLED 4K list is the newest member of the family, the QN70F. Available in 55-, 65-, 75-, and 85-inch sizes, it gets the NQ4 AI Gen2 processor and a new design, and features a 20-watt, 2-channel sound system.The 83-inch Samsung S95F OLED on display at CES 2025. John Higgins / Digital TrendsThree new Samsung OLED models will hit the streets in 2025, including the flagship S95F, the S90F, and the S85F, all of which benefit from the previously mentioned Vision AI upgrades.The flagship, and the successor to the popular S95D that debuted Samsungs anti-glare technology, is the S95F that (surprise, surprise) also features it. Its the lone OLED of the three that features the tech, but Samsung says that its been improved to make it brighter, and with a lower reflection rate for even better light dispersion. QLED TVs have long been the preferred TVs over OLED for bright rooms (thats changing, though), and whether you love it or hate it, Samsung seems to think that its worthy to include in several of its 2025 TVs.The S95F, which Samsung is calling the worlds brightest OLED, has also gotten a power bump in the form of the newest NQ4 AI Gen4 processor for improved contrast, brightness depth, and color, says Samsung. It will be available in 55-, 65-, 77-, and 83-inch models and features a 70-watt 4.2.2-channel sound system with a Top Speaker and support for Dolby Atmos sound.Details on the other OLEDs in Samsungs 2025 lineup are sparse, and well report more after the full CES 2025 announcement, but for now, we know that the S90F is the next rung down. Its available in 42-, 48-, 55-, 65-, 77-, and 83-inch models, features the same NQ4 AI Gen3 processor as the S95F, and has a 40-watt, 2.1-channel Dolby Atmos sound system.The Samsung S85F OLED comes in 55-, 65-, 75- and 83-inch varieties, and features a 20-watt, 2-channel sound system.John Higgins / Digital TrendsSamsung has also announced an addition to its popular Frame Art TVs with the all-new Frame Pro, a Neo QLED panel with a NQ4 Gen3 processor that also benefits from the Wireless One Connect box for flexible installation. But Samsung is also taking advantage of the Frame Pros launch to make a big deal out of the newly expanded Samsung Art Store that now features more than 3,000 works, including art from its partnerships with MoMA. The Frame TVs boasts Pantone ArtfulColor validation for accurate color, and the Frame Pro features a 144Hz refresh rate, ensuring that the movie lovers and gamers in the house can utilize this art TV, too.John Higgins / Digital TrendsTVs arent the only Samsung products to power things up with its AI vision, as the company has announced several new soundbars for the year. The flagship HW-Q990F is the successor to its behemoth of a sound system, the HW-Q990D (it seems Samsung has skipped the E naming convention for its soundbars, too). The complete 11.1.4-channel Dolby Atmos soundbar system features a subwoofer thats less than half the size of last years D model.Additionally, Samsung has announced the HW-QS700F, which can be mounted on your wall or set on a table. Like the HW-Q990F, its a Q-Symphony Pro soundbar, meaning they can be combined with select Q-Symphony Samsung TVs to share the sound output duties for an even more immersive sound. The feature analyzes your audio through your Samsung TVs AI processor, providing even more detailed surround sound that places you at the center of the action. They also feature Active Voice Amplifier Pro for boosting the dialogue of your movies and TV shows as it becomes increasingly harder to understand.Samsung will also add Q-Symphony Pro to two new B-Series soundbars, too, including the HW-B750F and HW-B650F.Editors Recommendations
