This LG OLED Evo TV looks like a high-tech easel

LG is releasing a new OLED TV that wants to blend in with your furniture or art pieces. The company redesigned its 65-inch LG OLED Evo TV to look more like a stylish, high-tech easel. 

As part of its Object Collection, this television gets a cover that can move up or down via a dedicated remote control. You can use the TV as a giant clock or speaker when you aren't watching anything. (It has an 80-watt speaker in it.) You just need to roll the cover down halfway, reminding us of its rollable OLED TVs.

Casetify & Olivia Rodrigo launch iPhone cases inspired by 'Sour'

Casetify

Casetify is working with Olivia Rodrigo to launch a new line of its Apple iPhone cases inspired by her debut album, Sour. The collection is crafted using the brand's Re/Casetify tech, which turns used, old phone cases into new ones. You can get it in Casetify's Impact and Ultra Impact models, along with Mirror and Ultra Compostable cases.

The singer's punk rock style influences the design, with cases in black and purple hues. Some have the lyrics from her songs "brutal" and "good 4 u." And this drop includes a metal phone strap that can be worn as a wristlet or crossbody. The Olivia Rodrigo x Casetify "Hardened Hearts" collection has a starting price of US$45 (around CA$57), and it'll be available online beginning December 15.

Google Stadia finally comes to newer LG TVs

LG

It took almost a year, but Google Stadia is finally available in newer LG TVs. If you have an LG TV running on webOS 5.0 or 6.0 (which is 2020 or newer), you can use Google's cloud gaming service without using a media device or PC as a go-between. You will need a compatible gamepad, which can be a Stadia Controller or other standard console pads.

LG recommends you use it with one of its OLED TVs, citing fast response times, low latency, and 4K HDR visuals (at least for Stadia Pro users). But you can still use its other compatible televisions just fine. You can access Stadia through the LG Content Store in the 22 countries where the service exists.
