Reolink Launches TrackFlex Floodlight WiFi With 4K PTZ and Local AI Video Search

Reolink just dropped a pretty serious upgrade for anyone who wants full yard or driveway coverage without stacking multiple cameras. The new TrackFlex Floodlight WiFi is a hardwired, dual-lens 4K PTZ floodlight cam built for one job: eliminating blind spots. It’s available now in the U.S. starting at $259.99 on Reolink.com and Amazon, and it stays subscription-free.

The standout is the two-lens setup that gives you two views at once. You get a wide 4K view for the full scene and a zoomed view that can track movement with up to 6x hybrid zoom, both shown side-by-side in the Reolink app. The camera automatically shifts focal lengths while it tracks, so you keep detail up close and farther out without that usual “blur and refocus” lag you get on single-lens cameras.

For nighttime, Reolink packed in up to 3000 lumens of dimmable lighting for full-color footage, plus an automatic 110dB siren if you want the extra deterrent. You can also choose between cool (6500K) or warm (3000K) lighting, and either set it manually or let it adjust based on ambient light.

The other big win is search and privacy. TrackFlex uses Reolink’s on-device AI to let you pull clips by typing what you’re looking for, like “man in a blue shirt,” and it can identify people, vehicles, animals, and packages. Since it’s processed locally, you’re not sending that data off to the cloud or paying extra just to find the moment you need.

Lastly, it has a smart coverage trick called Out-of-View Detection using three PIR sensors, which can pick up motion even outside the camera’s direct view in a wide 270-degree zone. If you’ve ever had someone move just off camera and slip through a gap, that’s exactly what this is trying to solve.

CES Hands-On: HyperX – Leverless Clutch Tachi

At CES 2026, HyperX stepped into the leverless space with a controller calles the “Clutch Tachi” and it feels refreshing. I really liked how simple, clean, and modern it was. No crazy unnecessary flair, just a clear understanding of what the Fighting Game Community actually cares about. With the FGC thriving again and titles like Street Fighter, Tekken, and Guilty Gear pushing competitive play forward, this controller feels perfectly timed for what many would call another golden era of fighting games.

We didn’t get enough hands on time to fully put it through its paces, but first impressions still matter. Aesthetically, the HyperX leverless is a beauty. The layout feels deliberate, the design looks tournament ready, and it carries that polished HyperX identity without trying too hard. The RGB backlighting truly gave it that modern look. Even in a short session, it felt like a brand paying attention to how the FGC has evolved.

If this is HyperX’s opening move into the leverless scene, it’s a confident one. The FGC is demanding better tools, smarter design, and hardware that matches the moment, and from what we saw at CES 2026, HyperX understands exactly where the culture, and competition is headed.

CES Hands-On: AWOL Vision next gen Aetherion series UST Projector

AWOL Vision was at CES 2026 showing its new Aetherion series ultra short throw projectors, the Aetherion Max and Aetherion Pro, at its booth. AWOL is calling this its most advanced UST lineup yet, built around a new optical engine and a proprietary system called PixelLock that’s designed to keep full 4K detail locked in even at very large image sizes.

The main spec story is scale and sharpness: AWOL says Aetherion can preserve full 4K clarity all the way up to a 200-inch image, which is a big claim for UST since these projectors are more prone to alignment issues and edge softness at extreme sizes. Both models are triple-laser 4K projectors with 6,000:1 native contrast, and brightness is split between the two: the Aetherion Max is rated at 3,300 ISO lumens, while the Aetherion Pro comes in at 2,600 ISO lumens. AWOL is also packing in the premium format support you’d expect at this tier, including Dolby Vision, HDR10+, IMAX Enhanced, and Filmmaker Mode.

Gaming is clearly part of the pitch too. AWOL lists 1ms-class low-latency performance at 240Hz, plus VRR and ALLM, and it is also highlighting Dolby Vision Gaming support. On the smart and connectivity side, Aetherion runs Google TV based on Android TV 14 and includes high-bandwidth networking like Wi-Fi 7 and Gigabit Ethernet. Pricing is set at $4,499 for Aetherion Max and $3,499 for Aetherion Pro, with AWOL saying a Kickstarter campaign is planned for February 2026, followed by commercial availability that AWOL lists as April 2026.

CES Hands-On: TCL X11L Series SQD-Mini LED TV at CES 2026

If you have ever been to CES, you know to expect many, TV screens, but the TCL X11L was one of those displays that immediately pulled us in the moment we walked past the booth. Between the sheer size and the intensity of the image, it was clear this was one of TCL’s prime TVs for the show.

The X11L leans into that premium Mini-LED look. Bright highlights jumped off the screen, while dark scenes still felt controlled and clean, even in the challenging lighting of the show floor. Colors looked bold and vibrant without feeling overcooked, and the image held up well from different angles as people gathered around the display.

The X11L is sleek and modern. It’s impressively thin for a television of this size, with a near borderless look that gives it a very polished presence. TCL also highlighted Bang & Olufsen audio, which adds to the premium feel, though it’s something we’d want to spend more time with in a quieter setting.

Our time with TCL X11L was short, but the first impression was strong. This feels like TCL flexing what they can do at the high end, and it left us genuinely curious to see how the X11L performs outside the controlled demos of CES. We’re excited to spend more time with it in the future for a full review.

CES Hands-On: Samsung’s Odyssey 3D 6K Monitor Makes Glasses-Free 3D Feel Real

CES is always a good place to see where display tech is heading, especially when the goal is simple: more immersion without taking up more space. Samsung’s Odyssey 3D 6K monitor was one of those demos that actually drew a crowd, because it is not just higher resolution or a faster panel. It is a glasses-free 3D screen that is trying to make the effect feel stable and usable for real PC gaming.

The core idea is eye tracking paired with a 6K IPS panel, so the monitor can adjust depth and perspective as you move, keeping the 3D image “locked” to your viewing position. In the demo, the tracking looked solid and that is the difference between 3D that feels like a gimmick and 3D you can sit with for more than a minute. The big benefit of starting at 6K is you have enough pixels to work with when the image is being split and processed for the 3D effect, so it does not immediately look soft the way older 3D attempts often did.

Samsung is also treating this like a serious gaming monitor, not a novelty. It is rated for 165Hz at full 6K, with a Dual Mode that drops to 3K and bumps refresh to 330Hz. That is a smart tradeoff, because pushing 6K at high frame rates is brutal, but giving you an easy “more frames” mode makes the monitor feel more practical for competitive play. Response time is listed at 1ms gray-to-gray, so the spec sheet is clearly aiming at gamers first.

What I’m most curious about now is content and support, because that is always the make-or-break part of glasses-free 3D. Samsung is talking about optimized 3D experiences through partnerships, and if they can build a real list of supported titles and workflows, this could be something more than a CES flex. Based on what I saw, the tech itself is convincing. The next step is making it easy to use, easy to enable, and worth living with day to day.

CES Hands-On: ASUS ROG XREAL R1 Brings 240Hz Speed to Gaming Glasses

CES Hands-On: ASUS ROG XREAL R1 Brings 240Hz Speed to Gaming Glasses

More screen, more speed, more presence, but in the same space you already live and play in. That’s exactly the lane ASUS ROG and XREAL are aiming for with the ROG XREAL R1 gaming glasses, a collaboration that’s clearly focused on one thing first: making portable “big screen” gaming feel fast enough to be taken seriously.

In my hands-on time checking these out at both the XREAL and ASUS areas, the 240Hz refresh rate was the headline and you can feel why they’re leading with it. With something like Forza Horizon, motion clarity is everything, and the R1 looked noticeably smoother when you’re flying through scenery, panning fast, and tracking details at speed. A lot of display glasses are cool for the novelty, but ASUS and XREAL are trying to make sure gamers are covered like never before, and the refresh rate is the most immediate proof of that.

Spec-wise, the R1 is built around 240Hz micro-OLED displays running at 1080p, with a wide 57-degree field of view that’s meant to feel like a huge virtual screen, around 171 inches at roughly 4 meters. It also supports 3DoF so you can use modes like Anchor and Follow, basically choosing whether the screen stays locked in place or moves with you. ASUS also leaned into comfort and usability touches like electrochromic dimming, so the lenses can tint to fit different lighting, plus Sound by Bose for audio that’s designed to feel more immersive than the tiny speakers you normally expect in glasses.

The other smart move is compatibility. Alongside the glasses, ASUS showed off the ROG Control Dock, which is there to make these work cleanly across more devices with options like HDMI and DisplayPort connections. The idea is simple: plug into a handheld, a PC, or a console, and get that giant-screen feel without jumping through hoops. If you’ve ever messed with display glasses that are picky about devices or adapters, this is the kind of accessory that can make or break the experience.

Right now, the only real unknown is price, because ASUS has not locked that in yet, but the release window is targeting the first half of 2026. Based on what I saw at CES, the ROG XREAL R1 feels like a legit step forward for gaming glasses, not because it’s trying to be everything, but because it’s going all-in on speed and smoothness, the two things that matter most when you’re actually playing.

CES 2026: MSI EZgo EV Charger Built to Charge Anywhere

MSI showcased an area they’ve been diving into which is EV chargers but instead of it being with their PC side it had a place in the Las Vega Convention West Side where most of the auto makers and products were held. They used CES 2026 to show it’s bringing its “build-it-tough, make-it-smart” mindset into EV charging with the new MSI EZgo, a portable Level 2 charger designed for people who need one solution that works at home and on the road.

The EZgo supports 100 to 240V input with both NEMA 5-15 (120V) and NEMA 14-50 (240V) plug options, and it can deliver up to 40A or 9.6kW when you’ve got a proper 240V outlet available. It also comes with a 25-foot cable and offers either a Type 1 (J1772) connector or NACS, which covers a huge range of EVs without making this feel locked to one ecosystem.

What I like most is that MSI didn’t go “app first” and call it a day. EZgo has a 1.8-inch on-unit display that gives you the essentials at a glance, plus physical buttons for delay scheduling and manual amp adjustment. You can still use MSI aConnect with quick Bluetooth pairing and multi-user sharing, and the no “exclusive binding” approach is a real win for households where more than one person needs to manage charging.

It has a IP66-rated for dust and water resistance, and MSI even talks about a 2-ton run-over evaluation, which is exactly the kind of thing that happens when something lives in a garage or gets tossed into a trunk over and over. Safety-wise, it’s built around widely recognized UL standards for EV charging equipment and protection, and the materials choices are aimed at holding up long-term against heat, sun, and weather.

It also includes the practical stuff people actually use: a home kit (holder, hook, hardware) so it stores cleanly, and a structured carry bag that’s clearly meant for trunk or frunk life. MSI also framed EZgo as part of a bigger EV push, alongside the EV Life Premium wall charger for a more permanent home setup. Pricing starts at $349 for EZgo and $649 for EV Life Premium, and MSI says both are available now through Amazon and the MSI Store, with a 3-year warranty on EZgo and a 5-year warranty on the EV Life lineup.

CES Hands-On: MSI MPG 341CQR QD-OLED X36 is a powerhouse

MSI’s MPG 341CQR QD-OLED X36 is the kind of monitor that feels built for things I’m looking for in 2026: one big ultrawide that can replace a multi-monitor setup while still delivering the speed I’m chasing to have a competitive edge.

It’s a 34-inch 21:9 UWQHD (3440×1440) display using a 5th-gen QD-OLED, and MSI is clearly pushing image clarity as hard as refresh rate. The refined RGB Stripe sub-pixel layout is the big deal here because it’s designed to keep text and fine edges looking sharp without that annoying color fringing you sometimes notice on OLED when you’re doing anything beyond gaming. It runs at 360Hz, which is kind of ridiculous on an ultrawide in the best way. It feels aimed at players who want the immersion of 21:9 but still care about ultra-smooth motion and low blur in fast shooters, racing games, and anything with quick camera movement.

HDR Curve Customization to fine-tune the HDR experience instead of living with a one-size-fits-all preset. And with OLED Care 3.0, the AI Care Sensor uses an NPU-based presence detection system to know when you’re actually there, managing power more intelligently to help extend OLED lifespan. Overall, the MPG 341CQR QD-OLED X36 feels like MSI trying to make an ultrawide that hits three goals at once: cinematic, insanely fast, and practical enough to live on your desk full time.

CES Hands-On: TP-Link Aireal to Be Your Smart Home Copilot

TP-Link had something I wasn’t expecting at CES this year, Aireal, an AI assistant designed to sit across both networking and smart home, so you can manage the stuff that normally takes five apps and a troubleshooting session with a simple conversation.

What stood out in the CES demos is that Aireal is not positioned as a gimmick. It’s built in collaboration with Microsoft and launches inside TP-Link’s Deco and Tapo ecosystems, using Microsoft Foundry to power more natural voice interactions and real-time responses. The pitch is simple: explain what you want in plain language, and Aireal figures out the right settings or actions across routers, cameras, lights, and everything in between, including walking you through problems in human terms instead of throwing error codes at you.

The most interesting feature is the way it treats cameras and recordings. Aireal is meant to go beyond basic motion alerts by letting you search video conversationally, like asking when a package arrived, when someone showed up at the door, or when the kids got home, and it pulls the relevant clips without endless scrolling. It also aims to cut down notification fatigue by summarizing what matters and merging repeat alerts, while quietly improving the network in the background with proactive optimization features like AI QoS, anti-interference, and self-healing.

Aireal is available starting now with Tapo devices, and TP-Link was showcasing it alongside new cameras at CES, including the Tapo C645D Kit, Tapo C465 (a 4K solar camera), and the Tapo C710 floodlight camera. If TP-Link can deliver this with the speed and reliability they’re promising, Aireal could be the kind of AI that actually earns its place at home, not another assistant you forget about after the first week.
