If you are one of the super-rich looking for an alternative to Samsung's The Wall, LG offers an option. The company recently launched a Direct View LED (DVLED) Extreme Home Cinema line that comes in sizes as "small" as 81 inches to the gigantic, billboard-worthy 325-inch setup. It relies on the same concept as The Wall, using millions of LED diodes (ranging from two million to 33 million) to offer a complete picture in customized shapes.

Clubhouse is trying out a new feature that could keep you on the app longer than usual. Or at least just use it beyond listening to different talks on the social audio platform. App researcher Jane Manchun Wong discovered a new "Wave" button, which you can use to let your friends know that you want to chat. 

If the company rolls this feature out, the new button will appear on users' profiles. It'll look similar to the Wave button you see first when you connect with someone on Facebook Messenger. When you tap on it, it'll let your friend know you want to chat, and then Clubhouse will open a room for you if they respond.

OnePlus 9 update brings improved camera performance, 'Hasselblad Xpan' setting

When OnePlus launched the OnePlus 9 and 9 Pro, the initial focus of its partnership with camera maker Hasselblad was in the software. So, while we wait for what the custom camera hardware will look like, we get updates like this new one that brings the Hasselblad look and feel to the stock camera apps on these phones. 

Both devices are getting an Xpan Mode that replicates the look of Hasselblad's Xpan film cameras. It will include an aspect ratio of 65:21 and a very wide mode with two focal lengths (30mm and 45mm). When you preview a shot, there are frame lines you'll see through the lens of an XPan camera. And when you take a picture, there will be an animation of negative film developing. The update also brings two film simulation effects—color and black and white. Hasselblad is working on the latter with OnePlus.
