Pioneer follows on the UDP-LX500 4K UHD Blu-ray player with a flagship universal disc player-- the UDP-LX800, a player the company says is "purpose-engineered to provide a new state-of-the- art benchmark for 4K UHD Blu-ray and SACD playback."
As the step-up model from the LX-500, the LX-800 promises not only superior playback but even sturdier construction, with a 4.6mm thick, double-layer steel and steel-sheet chassis and a rigid, anti-vibration paint coated case holding the Blu-ray drive. In addition, a rigid frame structure inside the player segregates the power supply, processing and analogue sections in order to reduce electromagnetic interference. The result? A heavyweight player at 14kg (the LX500 weighs 10.3kg).
The Home Cinema 4010 uses three LCD panels to create three 1080p microdisplays. The result is images with maximum input resolution of 4096 x 2160, as well as 10-bit colour, 200000:1 contrast ratio and HDR10 support (but no Dolby Vision or HDR10+). Image brightness reaches a maximum of 2400 lumens.
YesOJO is the company behind a projector dock for the Switch, and the speaker dock appears to follow similar lateral thinking in product design. Designed for use with the console in tabletop mode, it has a recess allowing one slot the Switch in place and promises both better sound and a more sturdy base compared to the built-in kickstand.

Such a camera should cover just about every kind of photo a customer wants to snap, from portraits complete with bokeh effects to larger landscapes. In addition, a Scene Optimiser feature promises to intelligently categorise subjects and adjust colour, contrast and brightness automatically to produce the best possible photo. As for selfie, the front-facing camera is a 24MP number complete with Selfie Focus bokeh effects and a "Pro Lighting" mode via adjustable LED flash.
