I replaced my living room TV with this 4K laser projector for a month - and didn't regret it

zdnet.com Chris Bayer 2025-11-22 14:00:20

ZDNET's key takeaways Valerion's VisionMaster Pro 2 retails for $2,999. This premium-built laser TV projects up to a 300-inch screen. It's still not ideal for brightly lit rooms (like all projectors). $2,999 at Amazon I chose the word "glorious" in the headline for this review because that word sprang to mind when I first laid eyes on the VisionMaster Pro 2 projector from Valerion -- and that was before I even plugged it in. Valerion, a sister company to Awol Vision, is just over a year old,

M3 iPad Air running iPadOS 26 Developer Beta. Prakhar Khanna/ZDNET My biggest takeaway from WWDC 2025 is that I can finally use my iPad Air to its full potential. For the longest time, the iPad has been a product that I've wanted to add to my workflow but couldn't due to its rigid operating system -- one that doesn't necessarily complement the iPad's flexible hardware.

A Mattress Testing Expert Breaks Down Natural and Organic Certifications (2025)

As a professional mattress tester, I’ve seen an upward trend in the past few years of people looking into organic mattresses, toppers, and sheets. Whether it’s because of a renewed focus on what is truly “healthy” and toxin-free, or a concern over the use of fiberglass (I know we all remember that blowing up on TikTok), more brands are increasingly getting products certified.

If you spend much time on the internet, you will see the same things pop up again and again. For me, it's these “cooling blankets” that people talk about on social media. I mean, it sounds great for summer—just like a blanket that warms you up but in reverse. Sadly, these products don’t do what they claim. They might be breathable so they don’t make you as hot as an ordinary blanket would, but you’d still be cooler with no blanket at all. However, there is hope. Someone has created a real cooli
