Aurzen's Zip Pro keeps its folding party trick, sharpens the picture
The Zip Pro doesn't unfold so much as it refuses to lie flat, and honestly, that's the charm. Aurzen's taken the original's delightfully stubborn Z-fold trick and left it intact while sharpening everything around it. First teased at IFA 2026, this thing is creeping closer to a real release, and the upgrade path is less about reinvention and more about tightening the screws. The picture gets the obvious boost, but the real win is that the hardware finally feels like it's catching up to the hinge. It's still a pico projector, still tiny, still begging for a dark wall. But it's also proof that a clever idea can survive contact with a second version. If you're into gadgets that fold like origami and punch like a much bigger box, keep this one tabbed.
Epson's new lasers don't care about your living room wall, they'll paint 300 inches on it anyway
Epson's new lasers have looked at your living room wall and decided it's basically a blank canvas begging for a 300-inch punishment. The Home Cinema LS5000, LS6000, and LS7500 are joining the existing LS11000 flagship, and all four of them will happily throw an image the size of a small garage door across your paint job. That's absurd. That's wonderful. That's a 100-inch TV quietly feeling very inadequate right now. Here's the thing about this lineup: it's not just about size, though size is the headline. It's the laser part that gets me. No bulb to babysit, no warm-up theatrics. Just light, appearing on demand. Epson is betting your home theater ambitions should outgrow the room you actually have. Fair enough.
