Need a TV that doesn’t look like a TV when you’re not watching it?
Here’s a TV like none other I’ve ever seen!
What may look like a piece of sculpture is the C SEED N1 4K TV, with five panels that unfold silently in about next 25 seconds to create a monumental 137 inch Micro-LED display. It can rotate right or left up to 180 degrees. The indoor model costs around $200,000. And yes, there’s an outdoor model too that raises up to 7+ feet! It’s said to be about $240,000. But, those prices include setup and installation. They make many other models too. Check out the video on their website.

A Fun, Inexpensive Holiday Gift Idea.
MOXTOYU Bluetooth Beanie with Light, USB Rechargeable LED Headlamp
We’ve done a beanie with an LED light, we’ve done one with built-in speakers, but this one has both features, plus a microphone for phone calls! And it charges via USB-C! The 3-way LED light is removable for charging via its own USB dongle and for use as a little flashlight.
The company says the beanie provides up to 6 hours of continuous lighting, with a quick charging time of around 2 hours. I had no trouble pairing the BT 5.2 beanie with my phone. The stereo sound quality is very decent, but of course nowhere near what you’ll get from most earbuds. Comes in many color choices, and a sort of decent holiday box. Most colors are under $16 and for some reason gray was under $13.00. More info on Amazon.

Meet The Tikduck Flying Orb Ball
These flying balls are big this holiday season. The company says their Tikduck flying orb ball features a gyroscope and smart AI chip that promises intelligent flight. Different throwing angles and speeds will create different flight lines and boomerang effect. Made of high-grade ABS material, which is lightweight and flexible, making it able to withstand countless crashes. The propellers are safely concealed within the ball drone. USB Rechargeable: Micro USB connector for 25 minutes to fully charge. Flying time: 8 to 10 minutes. MSRP: $32.99.
From The Giz Wiz: These are great fun, but the secret word is PRACTICE! Pretty much most reviews says it can do wonderful things, if you practice. And it seems like the same flying orb is available under many different brand names.
