1. LG OLED TV

In recent years, OLED TVs have been growing in popularity due to their self-lighting pixels, which offer higher resolution and better clarity as opposed to traditional LCD displays. While most OLED screens are currently available in 50- to 70-inch sizes, electronics giant LG is staying ahead of the market with the launch of a 97-inch model that's the world’s biggest OLED screen, to date.

If you’re living in a compact space but desire an OLED TV, LG has also tapped into the other end of the market with the world’s smallest OLED TV: a new 42-inch model. The Korean electronics company is also aiming to redefine the role of TV by offering an interactive experience with new services such as a health platform and a virtual experience app.

The 2K camera positioned forward captures the faces and bodies of visitors, while a secondary 1080p downward-facing camera is designed to monitor packages left on your doorstep.

Battery-powered and thus eliminating the need to hardware it, the nifty product is also equipped with an AI-enabled interface that can accurately detect packages and distinguish friends and family from strangers. It also features dual-motion detection to distinguish between people versus motion, reducing false alerts.
