ASUS South Africa Launches the ROG Swift OLED PG27AQDM Gaming Monitor in South Africa @ASUS_za

Hi Guys, 

ASUS Republic of Gamers (ROG) South Africa announced that the ROG Swift OLED PG27AQDM gaming monitor is now available in South Africa. The 27" QHD ROG Swift OLED PG27AQDM features a blazing 240 Hz refresh rate, rapid 0.03ms (GTG) response time and better heat management for immersive gaming

• 27" QHD (2560 x 1440) OLED gaming monitor with 240 Hz refresh rate for competitive gaming with exceptional OLED visuals
• This display features 17% higher peak brightness than previous ROG OLEDs, thanks to improved cooling
• A highly efficient custom fanless heatsink silently manages heat and complements intelligent voltage optimization to reduce the risk of burn-in
• An optional uniform brightness setting ensures consistent luminance levels, and DisplayWidget Center software helps users easily tweak system settings

Faster-than-fast game-changing displays

The ROG Swift OLED PG27AQDM is the first ROG 1440p OLED gaming monitor with a superfast 240 Hz refresh rate and 0.03 ms response time. It comes with an anti-glare micro-texture coating to reduce reflections for a better viewing experience in all lighting conditions, and it offers 1,000 nits peak brightness.

The thermal design of the cooling system has been greatly improved to help reduce burn-in. It has a custom heatsink and a new internal layout to improve cooling. Internal airflow has been optimized and the top air vents are larger for improved heat dissipation. Heat is dissipated more evenly across the rear of the monitor. The average temperature is 5% lower compared to other 27-inch OLED gaming monitors, yet this panel has 17% higher peak brightness than the previous ROG OLED display.

Intelligent voltage optimization ensures consistent luminance for each pixel by controlling the amount of voltage applied to it. ROG worked closely with the panel maker to determine the correlation between OLED brightness, voltage level, and operational temperature. A smart algorithm coded for the panel optimizes voltage based on temperature changes to ensure consistent brightness across the panel.

The ROG Swift OLED PG27AQDM also comes with Uniform Brightness, which keeps the illuminance level even when white windows change dramatically. Plus, the new DisplayWidget Center software makes it easy to use a mouse to change system functions and OLED settings via an intuitive interface.

Sony's Battery-Powered Marvels: The Perfect Companion During Load Shedding

Hi Guys, 

Finding ways to entertain yourself during load shedding is a crucial part of keeping your sanity this winter. If you are not properly prepared, you could find yourself going without electricity for hours with only your thumbs to twiddle. Keeping a couple of long-lasting gadgets on hand is the best way to avoid the load-shedding boredom blues. From immersive audio experiences to vlogging adventures, these devices will keep your spirits high when the lights go out.

An Audio Oasis:

Load shedding can be an opportunity to escape from the world for a while and indulge in your favourite music or podcasts. Taking just 3,5 hours to fully charge, Sony’s WH-1000XM5 noise-cancelling headphones are an audiophile's dream and deliver stunning sound. If you are in a hurry, just three minutes on charge will get you 3 hours of playback. Once fully charged, these immensely comfortable headphones will keep going for up to 30 hours which means no amount of load shedding will leave you stuck in silence. Stuffed full of industry-leading technology, the WH-1000XM5s also features Adaptive Sound Control which learns your behaviour and the places you love to visit and adjusts your listening experience accordingly.

The WH-1000MX5s are available for just R7999 at incredible.co.za.

Unleash Your Musical Freedom:

If you prefer freedom of movement while enjoying your favourite tunes, the Sony WH-CH720 wireless headphones are the perfect fit for you. With noise cancelling technology that includes dual noise sensor technology and an integrated V1 processor, you will be able to comfortably immerse yourself in your own world. These stylish and lightweight headphones offer remarkable battery life, letting you groove to your favourite beats for up to 35 hours on a single charge and can hit 50 hours with the noise cancelling feature turned off. Weighing just 192g, their comfortable design and industry-leading sound quality, will keep your head bobbing through the powerless hours.

The WH-CH720s are available for just R2499 at incredible.co.za.

Content Creation Never Looked So Good:

One thing load shedding can be good for is getting your creative juices flowing and kick-starting that vlog idea that has been rattling around in your head. Built specifically for vloggers, the lightweight ZV-1F is the perfect camera for content creators who want to make magic. With a battery that can shoot continuously for approximately 75 minutes, a flip-out screen for easy self-recording, award-winning image quality and powerful image stabilisation, the ZV-1F is every vlogger’s ideal shooting companion. Equipped with a large innovative sensor, the ZV-1F ensures that you won't miss a single moment of your vlogging adventures, even when things get dim, and the lights go out.

The ZV-1F is available for just R12 995 at Ormsdirect.co.za.

The Portable Party Companion:

Who says load shedding means the party has to stop? With the Sony SRS-XV900 portable speaker, the party can continue long after the electricity has. This compact and powerful speaker delivers earth-shaking sound quality that can keep going for up to 25 hours on a single charge. Whether you're hosting an outdoor gathering or simply enjoying some downtime at home, the SRS-XV900 will keep the energy alive with its immersive omnidirectional sound, vibrant LED lights and a plug-and-play karaoke system.

The SRS-XV900 is available for just R14 999 at Incredible.co.za.

Load shedding may disrupt our daily lives, but these long-lasting devices will make sure that the fun never stops.

Hi Guys, 

TCL, the world's No. 2 TV brand and No. 1 98-inch TV and Google TV brand globally, has unveiled its latest television sets which will be introduced into the South African market later this year. This unveiling marks a significant milestone in TCL's commitment to delivering unparalleled visual experiences and innovation to households across the nation.

Renowned for its groundbreaking technology and commitment to excellence, TCL Electronics has once again set the bar high with its latest television offerings. The new range boasts an array of advanced features, including cutting-edge display technologies and enhanced audio capabilities. These innovations promise to transform the way South African audiences consume entertainment within the comfort of their homes.

TCL South Africa further positions itself as a leader in Google TV, boasting a full range from the 43’’ to the 98’’ models.

Expanding Imaginations Through Innovative Display Technology – Introducing the Latest Generation of TCL QD Mini LED with the 2023 C Series

A pioneer and a leader of QD MINI LED technology, TCL proudly introduced its latest generation technology, to audiences in South Africa. The C845 is the newest addition to TCL’s QD MINI LED TV line-up. The perfect partners to Mini LED, the Quantum Dot nanocrystals are used to reach 100% colour volume with one billion colours, enhancing brightness, increasing contrast, and outstanding colour accuracy. When coupled with up to 576 full array local dimming zones, the C845 will achieve the highest brightness levels to date of HDR 2000 nits and provides brighter whites, darker blacks, and enhanced contrast for dynamic saturation. The C845 will be available in the 65’’ model and backed by AiPQ Processor 3.0, delivering outstanding picture quality combined with unparalleled sound thanks to built-in Onkyo sound and Dolby Atmos.

Later this year, TCL South Africa will also launch the C755 QD Mini LED range which will feature the largest and fastest 98-inch Google TV variant. This TV sets a new standard with its impressive 144Hz panel, Mini LED and QLED technology and will feature over 500+ full-array local dimming zones. This unit will launch in the fourth quarter of the year in models from 55’’ to 98’’, making this the largest and fastest Google TV to launch into the South African market.

Countless Colours and Endless Entertainment with All-New C745 & C645 QLED TVs

For gamers, TCL introduced its new TCL C745 which combines QLED with Full Array Local Dimming technology, 4K HDR and an industry-leading refresh rate of 144Hz VRR. The TCL C745 promises next-level gaming with the smoothest streaming ensuring no distractions for a totally immersive experience. The real 144Hz VRR displays also provide better resolution for crisper visuals, so you can experience all the action without zigzagging, tearing, or blurring. This is TCL’s most advanced gaming TV and will be available to South African consumers in both the 55” and 65” models.

Additionally, The new TCL C645 features state-of-the-art Quantum Dot Technology which delivers genuine cinematic colour made from over a billion colours and shades (all of the colours that cinema cameras can capture). The TV is also certified with Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos so users can feel as if they are in a theatre in their own homes with incredible colour display, increasing contrast and high-quality speakers to enjoy a sound that moves all around with breathtaking realism. The TCL C645 range is also packed with a 120 HZ Game Accelerator, making it an excellent value option for those who want high-quality and interactive home entertainment experiences. The C645 range will consist of 50’’, 55’’, 65’’, 75’’ and 85’’ models.

Advanced Adaptations for Smoother Game Play

"We believe that technology should be accessible to all, and our new range of televisions exemplifies this commitment. By bridging the price gap between QLED and 4K TVs, we are making cutting-edge QLED technology more attainable for everyday consumers,” Mike Chen, General Manager TCL South Africa says. “This empowers our customers to experience the stunning visual brilliance of QLED without compromise, enhancing their home entertainment in ways previously thought impossible. As TCL Electronics continues to evolve and innovate, we are excited to reveal that we will be expanding on our established air-conditioning business and launching into the home appliance space very soon. Our goal is to create a seamless and integrated ecosystem that empowers our customers to elevate their daily routines, making their homes smarter, more efficient, and more comfortable than ever before.”

Additionally, Ryan Curling, Marketing Manager – South Africa at TCL Electronics says "We are delighted to introduce our newest collection of televisions to the South African market. At TCL, we believe in enriching lives through innovation, and this new range reflects our unwavering dedication to delivering superior quality and performance. Our decision to extend Google TV integration from our 43-inch to 98-inch models underscores our dedication to offering unparalleled convenience, access, and innovation.

These fresh offerings align closely with TCL's brand signature "Inspire Greatness," which not only conveys the brand's current corporate message but also embodies TCL's assurance and aspiration to offer global consumers values that motivate and enable them to strive for excellence in all aspects of their lives, surpassing mere product offerings.

New Year Resolutions - Week 37 Achievements & Failures #TheLifesWay

Hi Friends,

Week 37 - Sat 10 Sep 2022 - Fri 16 Sep 2022

The week started with a party at one of my friend's houses and then the whole week as a merry-go-lucky charm kind of quality attached to it. Why I am saying this so you will be able to know if you read the whole blog post. 

1. Thank You - The counter reached from 19913 onwards to close at 33322 counts. I didn't take it to my daily walks hence the count increase was very slow. 

2. Daily Walking - I only did 12.21 kilometres this week against my weekly target of 20 kilometres. I am getting a little worried about my 1000 km target that seems really far at the end of the year. I think I started marking the total kilometres for the week in my BuJo which led to the decrease as I am always afraid of the final target. I never wrote the same earlier in any of the months. The mental pressure of doing it is much more than the actual effort to do the thing. Don't think just do it!

3. Entertainment - I watched the weekly episodes of the regular web series I am seeing every week. I also watched the movie Brahmastra - Shiva part 1 of the trilogy. I totally loved the same but didn't love the dialogue written for the movie. Never thought that Amitabh Bachchan will be questioned in a language in this much-hyped movie whereas he was properly respected in the movie named Jhund where the actors were from slums or representing slums. The visuals and everything looked really cool and the introduction of characters like Deepika Padukone and Shahrukh Khan was amazing to watch too. I don't know if the language representation of Allahabad is true in terms of being straight forward but in real life, I see that they do respect and language too is soft even if it can be direct. 

4. YouTube - I earned my biggest day earning in terms of YouTube Adsense of USD 2.88 but since the first time, I have never even crossed USD 3 in a single day thereafter. I have also observed that YouTube shorts decrease your earnings for the main long-form video as well so it's better to form a new channel for YT shorts as then you can experiment with your videos. The subscriber though gets increasingly fast on YT shorts so for a small Youtuber like myself with less than 2k subs, I should not plan to introduce a new channel as my channel have only 1500 subscribers. I also attended the first virtual YT Shorts event which was part of 3 series of events scheduled for South Africa. 

5. Contest Wins - I won the Sandton Central Alto 234 contest to go to the Leonardo building and enjoy a drink on the top of the 54 floors. I will surely book the same. I also attended a Lego Launch Event and you can enjoy the video too. I also attended some conferences at Sandton Convention centre and got some goodies from all those events which I shared on my channel. Do check out the random goodies from all these events. I also won the Incredible Connection Jabra contest on Facebook and the goodies will be received in future via courier. 

I also tried the food at The New Delhi Darbar restaurant after a gap of so many years as earlier I never liked the food at the restaurant when I came to South Africa in 2013.  This time the food was really good and also loved the whole experience with the new management. You shall definitely try the same and it's near Benmore Gardens Shopping Mall. I also posted the imaged on Google Maps if you search for the restaurant and already it has crossed many thousand views. 

Cheers!!!

15 Days To www.TheLifesWay.com 5th Birthday Celebrations #5YearsofTheLifesWay #27Dec2017 #Nikon

Hi  Friends, 

I am acting on my resolutions and finishing all the pending tasks and assignments or product reviews so that backlog is totally clear and I can focus on the opportunities ahead. I see that backlog causes a lot of discomforts as you are not able to feel good about yourself. I have always assumed that I will do them later but it's now or never. The context of those posts will be old and no one will want to read them but it's my blog and if I am feeling uneasy, it will affect my next posts so better clear them off. I am getting good ideas for the new posts and will start implementing the same from the month of April as I want to finish all my pending self-written articles in March. 

Now, these articles about the countdown are old too but I could not finish them any sooner so let's check out the story I have to tell here. The Life's Way has been my with me even before I really got together and bought the domain. All my life I have been a curious photographer and took thousands and thousands of photos using all kinds of cameras. Panasonic FZ5 used to be my go-to camera when I was in living in London. It helped me click on all my India trips and in Johannesburg too during my initial days here. 

An Elephant Charging at me while I am unaware of at the Paul Kruger Gate with my shoulder Nikon Bag

Then my dream of owning a DSLR came to reality in 2014 when I ordered Nikon's D7000 from Flipkart India. It felt so great as I opened the box of the same and the photo quality on D7000 is awesome. I ordered the one with Nikon's Lens 18-105mm which covered me well. Sooner I felt the need to go telephoto so I bought Sigma 70-300mm from Incredible Connection at Sandton City using the Gift Voucher my friends gave me at my birthday party for some of the amounts. Sigma Lens is also great and I have been able to take amazing pictures using the same. Again, I felt the need of owning a Nikon Flash and bought the best one available in the market named SB-910 with Panasonic batteries which also cost a fortune. All the money to buy Nikon Flash came from paid posts of Indiblogger India via Flipkart India gift vouchers. Again, last year I wanted to go for a prime lens and finally decided to go with Nikon 35mm which again I bought from Amazon India and used it extensively during my cousin's wedding. I have bought some filters from several brands to go on lenses as I took a lot of photos on children birthdays and kids can touch the lens anytime so I bought them at the Photo and Film Expo in Johannesburg. That's my story of Nikon DSLR but let's talk about the 2 launch events I attended with Nikon in India and Johannesburg. 

During my first Nikon India launch event in New Delhi, they gifted everyone with a DSLR camera strap, 4GB Lexar Card and a Tshirt. SD card came to help immediately and Tshirt I am still wearing but the DSLR strap I am still keeping in my bags as the one that came with the camera is still going on. Maybe in future, I can go and replace it with the gifted one. The second trip was a Nikon Walk in Johannesburg CBD where they gave us Nikon Silicon Water bottles and Nikon Caps and those two items I have gifted/used and forgotten about totally since now. I have not been using any caps since last 2 years as earlier in winters I always used to wear them day-in-day-out, that's a habit of staying in London where the weather is really windy and cold. Checkout the photographs I took using my Nikon equipment on my Instagram page or my photo blog PhotoYatra.

Now the next items I would love to buy from Nikon will be a full-frame camera along with 60mm lens and 10-24mm lens and 150-600mm lens to go wildlife and portrait photography. But as this will need at least R100k to setup, I need to win a lottery or fortune at one of the Johannesburg casinos. There are still some small items I can buy like Nikon Remote and a second battery for Nikon D7000 and a Nikon camera backpack as I got the shoulder bag with my camera which has met its life now. Let's see how much I will be able to achieve in 2018 then will sort out the Nikon's stuff as it's like a big pandora box where you need to keep investing if you are in love with Photography.

14 Days                                                                                                                             16 Days

@AcerAfrica Brings #TakeaSpinwithAcer With @IncConnection #WalkOutWorking

Hi Guys, 

 

Acer announced the launch of the #TakeaSpinwithAcer campaign in collaboration with Incredible Connection. The campaign will run throughout June and invite customers to take a risk-free trial with Acer’s top tier products for up to 30 days.

Sounds too good to be true. It’s not. If at any point the customer is unhappy with the purchase they can opt for a full refund within 30 days. All Incredible Connection stores nationwide have introduced the Walk Out Working (WOW) offering. The techxpert station will help customers’ setup their new device for free in-store enabling them to walk out already working on their device. No hassle, no fuss, no risk.

Belinda Marais, Acer Africa Marketing Manager explains that the #TakeaSpinwithAcer campaign displays the complete confidence Acer has in their products. “We have done some research and found that people often don’t purchase a new notebook due to the drawn out process of transferring data from one device to another, as well as the fear of buying a product they may not be able to return if it doesn’t suit their lifestyle”. Marais adds that customer satisfaction is important to Acer and we want to give the customer more than just a device but an experience.

This exclusive offer applies to Acer’s core processor range which is any product with an Intel Core i3, Core i5 and Core i7 Intel Processor.

Visit our Facebook page and see how music sensation, Idols presenter and all-round good-guy ProVerb show you how to take a risk free spin with Acer:

• Come in-store with current notebook
• Purchase any Acer notebook with an Intel® Core™ Processor
• Visit the techxperts counter and get your device setup for free
• Walk out working. Test it out for 30 days and enjoy the freedom and power to explore

Cheers!!!

The Ultimate Plug and Play Experience for Dad @LGSouthAfrica #MiniBeamProjector

Hi Guys,

Choosing the perfect Father’s Day gift can be trickier than it sounds – luckily the LG Minibeam PH550 projector is in store just in time to celebrate dad’s special day. Its impressive features, versatility with HDMI, USB and WIFI capability will allow Dad to turn the living room, patio or braai area into a screening room for when he wants to watch the big game, entertain friends, or catch up on his favourite series.

The features include an eco-friendly, long lasting LED projection that can be used for up to 30,000 hours of display. With a contrast ratio of 100,000:1 it ensures that the picture quality is not lost when beaming up to an impressive 100”. The PH550 provides incredibly vivid colour with its 114% wide colour expression gradation. Its wireless functionality allows for connection to a smartphone or a tablet, so dad can share his favourite photos, videos or SuperBru predictions with friends and family.

By simply plugging in his USB device, he’ll be able to enjoy his most rocking music while the bluetooth feature allows him to connect to a sound or speaker device for a more amplified experience. Bring the cinema experience to the comfort of your own home with the 3D Optimizer for some real fun!

Convenience is key with the LG Minibeam. No one likes to carry around a hefty device with a million power and connection cords, especially not dad. Now he doesn’t have too! Be it for a simple business presentation, entertainment or family fun time, the LG PH550 Minibeam’s slim 1.7kg’s book design and single hand grip size makes it simple to carry while it is also easy to store. The projector also has two-and-a half hours of battery life, so there’s no need to carry around a charger.

No matter how tech savvy he is, the LG Minibeam PH550 projector is the perfect user-friendly gift that will keep him entertained for hours. Retailing at R7 299, the projector is available from all Makro, DionWired and Incredible Connection stores near you.

Cheers!!!

A Memoir - This Month Last Year - March 2014 #TheLifesWay #PhotoYatra

Hi Guys,

March is the month of appraisal, bonus announcements, ratings, reviews and a lot of negotiations & discussions. It's the month where budget is discussed in detail and news will feature all the top leaders and industrialists to give their comments on the economy as a whole. 

I was so busy in March last year that I almost posted some of the Indiblogger contest posts which I never won and other twitter posts. Some of the posts are about goodies which I won here in Johannesburg.

1. Product Review – Seagate Expansion Desktop Drive – 3 TB- We all need memory to capture all the data we have collected through several sources. With blu-ray quality movies which takes more than 7GB space per movie, you are always short on the portable hard disk capacities. I thought about it and bought a desktop version of HDD for 3TB which gave me around 2.72GB space for myself. I immediately cleaned all my devices and put everything in the same. Now this year, I can see there is hardly 250GB space left in the same too and 4TB is already available in the market to buy. It's a vicious circle dear friends, I should delete some of the old data and movies. 

2. Valentine's date with New Balance @BallzRadio - This was one of the best days of my life when I got the New Balance FRESH FOAM running shoes for free by participating in the fun run called runnovation. I tweeted a lot about the event and won the first prize of shoes for myself worth R1200. I still wear them comfortably and wants this event to happen again sometime this year. 

3. Photo Walk - Wild Safaris in South Africa - I love photography and I try to click a lot of photographs which I realized yesterday only are total waste & crap and can't be used anywhere. So I thought that I will take some time to frame and then will capture the beauty instead of just clicking randomly. South Africa is a beautiful place to learn a lot of photography of landscape, wildlife and action. I will try to make the best use of the same. 

4. Product Review - Kjeldsens - Oat & Cranberry Cookies - Sometimes in life you try something new and become fan of the same immediately. It happened with me when I tried Royal Dansk cookies and contacted the company also. I received some packs to review which I did and received this mug and spoon also.  I love #goodies because those are things you can't buy as they are branded by the company and are only available to them.

5. Twitter Goodies - Incredible Connection #Selfie Contest - I love #twitter as I used to win a lot of contests in India and when I came here, I missed the same for a while. I only won my first contest in March and received these goodies. I always wanted a USB LED light and finally received one. Thank you Universe! #grateful Remember I love #goodies also received Canon goodies from Makro and NuMetro movie tickets from Fox Star Movies South Africa.

Enjoy and have fun always as it will keep you happy! The happier you are, the more you are in touch with your luck and then you receive a lot of #goodies! I love them all! 

Cheers!!!
