LG's whole-home speakers are among the first with Google Cast audio support

LG’s Music Flow speakers are already on the market, and are an alternative to Sonos’ whole-home speakers. But while LG’s system has some interesting features on its own, such as a way to send text commands to the speakers through Line’s messaging app, it can’t match the huge number of music services that Sonos supports. Google Cast should help LG fill in some of those gaps.

Prices for Music Flow start at $179 for a 30-watt speaker, and scale up to $379 for a 70-watt speaker. A few sound bars are also available at $499 and up, and LG will sell a 20-watt speaker with battery power for $199 next month.

These devices allow us to project images and videos onto a larger screen, making them ideal for presentations, movie nights, or even gaming. However, not all projectors are created equal. There are significant differences between business projectors and home theater projectors, and it’s crucial to understand these variations before making a purchase. Purpose and Usage The most significant difference between business and home theater projectors is their intended purpose. Business projectors are designed for professional use, primarily for presentations, meetings, and conferences.

Meet the $270 home security solution that saved me thousands

Even if you’re not a self-described technology and gadget enthusiast, you’ve probably seen “smart home,” “connected life,” “Internet of Things,” or “IoT” mentioned a few times here and there. Do you know what the Internet of Things is, though? Should you even care? Beyond the buzzwords, smart home devices and IoT in general are emerging categories that really are worthy of all the hype. Why? As I mentioned in a recent feature, these devices are going to completely change the way we live our lives. As a matter of fact, they’re already changing our lives today. In our new “Connecting my life” series, we’ll focus periodically on how BGR writers and editors personally use devices that fall into the smart home and IoT categories.
