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.

@SamsungMobileSA Lights Up @NelsonMandelaSq For #Jozi Launch #GalaxyS8 Smartphone

Hi Guys, 

 

Samsung South Africa celebrated the local launch of its latest flagship smartphone range, the Galaxy S8 and S8+, early May this year. In true Samsung style, the company went all out by illuminating the famous Nelson Mandela Square in Sandton with immersive displays reflective of the powerful visual experiences the device’s Infinity Display provides.

“We lit it up the entire square in dramatic deep-sea imagery and riveting 3D projections, all in line with the iconic and dazzling Galaxy S8’s Infinity Display. A screen without any borders, bumps or angles – just uninterrupted glass,” says Craige Fleischer, Director of Integrated Mobility at Samsung Electronics South Africa.

The imagery of the whale was lit up across the square, floating from building to building, diving beyond the limits of all of them bringing the device’s infinity display’s versatility to mind amongst all who witnessed the show. Accompanying the immersive lighting show and adding to the entertainment were the sounds from local artists - Chanda Munki and Liquideep. However, the star of the show was of course the Galaxy S8. Handsets were on show for the square’s packed audience to ogle and Samsung representatives were on hand to demonstrate the phone’s capabilities.

“As we have proven time and time again, Samsung’s innovative technology inspires the future and through our creativity and diversity we enrich the lives of our customers. This has again been made clear with our latest S-Series device,’’ Fleischer concludes. 

 

Cheers!!!

Product Review - COCOON Boutique Spa @ Radisson Blu Hotel, Johannesburg

Hi Guys,

It is always a great opportunity when you visit something for the first time. It happened with me when I first visited the Cocoon Spa which is opposite Mushroom Park, Sandton in Radisson Blu Hotel's Ground Floor area. It was my first time that I ever visited any Spa in my life. I immediately fell in love with the calm & reflective environment of Cocoon Spa.

The use of colorful dots have brought a different texture to the entrance every dot representing the O's and C's in Cocoon.

There is a display of all the organic & silk products for customers to browse and buy. The rate list is also displayed for customers to refer. 

The waiting lounge has everything you want. It gives you the same calm & relaxed experience while you wait for your treatment or after the treatments. Art & paintings builds up a great environment for customers.

The front walls again showcases some of the amazing art and organic stuff to browse and buy. The Cocoon Spa has their own scrub and lotion products as well for customers to enjoy. The products are prices right for everyone to buy and use. 

Another room for foot and hand massage which also gets converted into private and personal yoga sessions as and when required. Everything in decor matches the Cocoon Spa's aura. You will definitely fall in love with the same. 

I went through the Cocoon - Full body Massage for 45 min and this was the first time I ever had this kind of treatment in a Spa in Johannesburg. I really felt relaxed as trained staff went through calming all my nerves and muscles in my back, neck, legs, hands and shoulders. Head massage really took away all my stress. The aromatic & herbal oils brought a lot of warmth to my body. I felt so light like flying in the air after my 45 minutes of treatment. Really I was missing something in my life as now I plan to get the same every month.
