LG today announced its new GX Gallery lineup of OLED TVs, which seems to be a successor to the "wallpaper" TVs it launched a few years back. The name of the game here seems to be minimalism - while the wallpaper TVs required the use of a separate sound bar, the GX Gallery TVs do not, leaving them free of extra hardware when they're mounted on a wall.
The first 5G collection of iPhones appears to be leaking in advance of release later this year, all with the name iPhone 12. This most recent leak suggests that the iPhone 12 set will include one smaller model, two with the same display size, and another with a larger display size. The two "lesser" models will have 2-cam setups on their backs, while the two more extravagant models will have 3-cam setups as well as LiDAR on their backs - again, according to the latest leaks as of today. These device will likely be released in around October of 2020, if all goes according to plan.
It looks like LCDs are on the way out, at least as far as Samsung Display is concerned. The company, which is a subsidiary of Samsung dedicated to making displays for all sorts of devices, has announced plans to phase out LCD production by the end of the year. That's a fairly big shift for Samsung Display, though not an entirely unexpected one as demand for LCDs seems to be falling.
While the entertainment industry, particularly theaters and film production, has been hit hard by this virus pandemic, some are finding a new wave of customers and users, mostly because those are stuck at home.

LG has a new 65-inch rollable OLED UHD TV to show for CES 2020, very similar to what they last showed in the USA at CES 2019. Per LG, this new television concept "can be installed naturally as part of the space and can only be used down when needed." This might remind you of a classroom from your childhood, where a projector screen would be pulled (manually or automatically) from an overhead roll. Now that roll can be the television itself - not just a white panel of material for reflecting projected light.
Cadillac's 2021 Escalade won't just have presence from the road, but on the dashboard too, with the upcoming luxury SUV promising a vast curved OLED screen.

All three 2020 iPhone models will use an OLED panel, but there may still be good reason to opt for the more expensive smartphones, according to the latest chatter out of South Korea. Apple's line-up of iOS phones next year is still expected to consist of three models, with the smallest and largest - replacing the iPhone 11 Pro and the iPhone 11 Pro Max getting a new, thinner OLED screen technology.
This year HP pulled out the stops when it came to their "best and brightest" with the HP Spectre x360 13 (for 2019). This is just the latest version of a laptop series HP's been improving upon each year since its introduction in March of 2015. Here in 2019, the design is very similar to the October 2018 version of the transforming laptop - but the bezels have been cut down considerably, giving the entire unit a 13% reduction in size.
