As thin as cardboard, LG’s ‘wallpaper’ OLED TV slaps on your wall like a poster           The dream of hanging your TV on the wall like a poster is now a reality: LG officially introduced its W-Series OLED on Wednesday morning at CES 2017, and it’s every bit as cool as you might imagine. As the flagship of LG’s 2017 OLED TV lineup, the W-Series — previously referred to as “Wallpaper OLED” — exemplifies an OLED TV panel’s inherently thin and light form factor. At just 1/10 of an inch thick, the W-series’ panel is barely thicker than a piece of cardboard, and its bezel is nearly nonexistent, creating the effect of a picture that simply emanates from the wall. The W series — which is available in 65- and 77-inch options — mounts to a wall with a remarkably simple system of two keyhole-style locks at the top, and magnets at the bottom to keep the TV snugly secured flush against the mounting surface — with no gaps. All of the TV’s hardware is stored inside an included soundbar armed with Dolby Atmos surround sound capability. The included sound bar acts as a hub, accepting all of

Home automation gives you access to control devices in your home from a mobile device anywhere in the world. The term may be used for isolated programmable devices, like thermostats and sprinkler systems, but home automation more accurately describes homes in which nearly everything — lights, appliances, electrical outlets, heating and cooling systems — are hooked up to a remotely controllable network. From a home security perspective, this also includes your alarm system, and all of the doors, windows, locks, smoke detectors, surveillance cameras and any other sensors that are linked to it. Home Automation Developments Until fairly recently, automated central control of building-wide systems was found only in larger commercial buildings and expensive homes. Typically involving only lighting, heating and cooling systems, building automation rarely provided more than basic control, monitoring and scheduling functions and was accessible only from specific control points within the building itself. Home automation is a step toward what is referred to as the “Internet of Things,” in which everything has an assigned IP address, and can be monitored and accessed remotely. The first and most obvious beneficiaries of this approach are “smart” devices and appliances that can be connected to a local area network,

Infinite AV is currently running a program offering discounted labor and parts on all TV mountings this holiday season. We can mount the TV with either a flat, tilting or fully articulated bracket that allows you to swing the TV to face in any direction. Best way to clean a TV up is to move its equipment into another room like a closet, attic or basement. This gives you a clean and sharp look as there are no wires or boxes under the TV.

Why Your Internet Is Slow Is your Internet performing below its advertised speed? Is it unusually sluggish when it comes to watching Netflix or uploading your latest videos to YouTube? Before you start blaming your ISP for some nefarious blocking or throttling scheme, there are a few steps you should take to ensure that your computers or networking gear are not at fault. My first step when I experience any slowdown in my bandwidth is to test the speed on another device to see if there’s a problem on my network or the device itself. This isn’t a definitive test, but it’s a good starting point. I pull up Speedtest.net on my computer browser and run a speed test for my home network to see if my bandwidth is close to what I should be experiencing on my network. For optimal results you should connect your computer directly to your modem via an Ethernet cable. We’ll get to why in a moment, and if you have a MacBook Air or don’t have an Ethernet cable (or laptop), don’t worry. Once you determine that your Internet speed is below what you currently pay for there are several reasons (and some solutions).

With The holidays coming up soon it’s time to think about helping some of the people less fortunate. Infinite AV Solutions is teaming up with The Hope for Children Foundation on their annual Toy drive and Holiday Family adoption. With the generosity of others last year they were able to help 55 families!  If you are interested please email Dan at dtap@infiniteavsolutions.com or Kristie at kkane@hfcf.org  Www.hfcf.org    “You have not lived today until you have done something for someone who can never repay you.” -John Bunyan

Nest’s Dropcam outage reveals the downside of online-only IP cameras For a few hours last night, Dropcam users couldn’t access their camera feeds at all. Some Dropcam and Nest Cam users may have felt a little less secure last night, when a service outage rendered the IP cameras inaccessible for several hours. The outage also affected other Nest products, including Nest Learning Thermostats and Protect smoke detectors. Nest acknowledged the outage at 9:28 p.m. Eastern time, and restored service at 12:48 a.m. The Alphabet-owned company hasn’t explained exactly what caused the lengthy outage, but is encouraging users to contact customer support if problems persist.   For Nest thermostat owners, the outage was a small inconvenience, preventing remote control via Nest’s mobile and web apps. Users could still adjust the temperature directly on the Nest itself, just like a regular thermostat. However, Dropcam and Nest Cam users don’t have that kind of offline fallback. Accessing the camera feed requires an Internet connection to Dropcam’s servers, rendering the cameras worthless during an outage. Not surprisingly, local Wi-Fi access for Dropcam is one of the most popular user requests. Still, Dropcam has insisted that this feature isn’t worth doing. “While we recognize there are times

Falling TVs send a child to the ER every 30 minutes Chris Stein / Today Children under 5 are most at risk from TVs toppling over on them. All TVs, whether it’s a flat-screen or older model, should be anchored to the wall to prevent tip-overs, researchers urge. Enormous flat-screens are in millions of homes, but come with a risk that many parents may not realize: children can be seriously hurt in a TV tip-over. The number of kids injured by a TV falling on them grew 125 percent between 1990 and 2011, according to a new study of emergency room records that calls for greater prevention efforts. Overall, more than 17,000 children under age 18 were treated each year for various TV-related injuries in ERs across the United States – that’s one child every half hour – during that time period, the study released Monday in the journal Pediatrics found. Between 2000 and 2011, 215 children died from injuries caused by a falling TV. “This is a serious problem,” said the study’s senior author, Dr. Gary Smith, a pediatrician at Nationwide Children’s Hospital in Columbus, Ohio, told NBC News. “A child’s dying once every three weeks from a TV tip-over.
