Living Room Tech to Watch
At the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in January, LG unveiled its newest, top-of-the-line flat-panel OLED TVs, highlighted by the 2017 CES Best of Innovation Award winner, the 77-inch LG SIGNATURE OLED TV W7. The W7’s sleek razor-thin profile makes the TV appear to be levitating in mid-air, exemplified by its Picture-on-Wall design. The OLED panel, measuring only 2.57mm thin in the 65-inch model, can be mounted directly on the wall with only magnetic brackets, eliminating any gap between the TV and the wall. The sense of immersion is completed by upfiring speakers and unrivaled Dolby Atmos sound. www.lg.com
Bedroom
Smart storage, cutting-edge lighting and customizable options turn a bedroom into a happy haven.
From Blackjack Lighting, the Dot chandelier in Brushed Brass is a familiar Mid-Century form with an all-new LED sensibility. A total of 24 arms attached to a center orb culminate in shallow cups, each with a center metal dot. A ring of LED light sources beneath each dot bounces light off the cups’ white interior surface to light the room evenly. www.blackjacklighting.com

Bedroom Tech to Watch
Also introduced at CES in January, the Sleep Number 360 Smart Bed intuitively senses comfort to keep both partners sleeping soundly all night. With SleepIQ® biometrics, the base automatically adjusts to each sleeper’s ideal position throughout the night.
For example, if someone is snoring on his or her back, the base automatically raises the snorer’s head seven degrees to help temporarily relieve the symptoms of common, mild snoring in otherwise healthy adults. The bed is also equipped with a foot warmer and a smart alarm feature that awakens the user at the optimal moment, plus more. www.sleepnumber.com

A child’s room meets its demands featuring products centered on durability, safety and the ability to grow.
Universal’s new Axis baby and youth collection is sophisticated with contemporary lines and a gray wood finish, allowing the pieces to grow with the child. Safety is also at the forefront: In this dresser, a Safe Stop Drawer “anti-tip” mechanism prevents more than one drawer from being opened at a time. www.universalfurniture.com

Kids’ Tech to Watch
Another product launched at January’s CES, the Kuri robot from Mayfield Robotics can make your day easier and brighter. He can cruise around your home, learning its floor plan and monitoring things when you’re not there.

Another bonus? His expressive eyes and friendly language give him a personality great for connecting with children. At $699 retail it’s pricey, but definitely cutting-edge. www.heykuri.com
