Sony’s first domestic OLED panel TV, the new Sony A1 or KD55A1 is already making waves in the world of TV and home cinema systems. Offering outstanding visuals and a revolutionary audio experience, the product has the capacity to revolutionise the way you view TV, movies and online content.

The OLED (organic light-emitting diode) screen creates colours like you’ve never seen them before. The blacks in the screen are absolute, creating a vivid contrast with other colours in the display. What’s more, the TV’s high performance processor is actually able to enhance pockets of colour on an image by image basis. It receives signals from the panel’s high performance processor telling it which colours are which. It’s them able to intensify these colours, making blues bluer, reds redder and whites whiter. The screen also boasts good performance when viewed from different angles, allowing you to enjoy your movies and TV shows from almost anywhere in your living room.

The inbuilt speaker is one of the Sony A1 or KD55A1’s standout features. In fact, the speaker and screen are so well integrated that the screen has virtually become the speaker. The built in subwoofer ensures a rich, full sound while the rest of the audio register is well catered for by the TV’s sound system.

The design of the Sony A1 or KD55A1 is minimal to say the least. Even the Sony logo has been hidden away out of sight. In fact, all that’s visible from the front is the screen itself, with a thin metal

frame holding it all together. The TV has been designed so that it’s freestanding. The inbuilt kickstand allows the screen to lean back slightly and stand independently and houses the unique subwoofer. The TV can also be mounted to the wall along with the subwoofer, As the speaker is integrated into the TV screen and the subwoofer forms part of the wall mounting system the Sony A1 or KD55A1 continues to offer excellent sound quality, even when on the wall.

Like all contemporary TVs, the Sony A1 or KD55A1 comes with good connectivity capabilities. You can use its Android interface to explore the web, online apps and TV players or you can send content to the screen via your smartphone or tablet computer. HDMI and USB ports are also available.

The perfect choice for anyone looking for a high performance TV that will blend right into their living space, the Sony OLED TV the A1 or KD55A1 has a lot to offer. To find out more, take a look at the products on our site today.

It seems like Bosch have come up with the perfect solution to the age-old question of knowing exactly how much detergent and fabric softener should I use when washing clothes?

The answer is to let the machine decide. The new Bosch i-DOS range does exactly that.

If you always put a little extra detergent in for good measure, then you might not be doing your machine, your clothes, your skin or even your wallet any favours.

Putting too much detergent in can lead to skin irritation and allergies and can leave annoying marks on your clothes. It also means your water and energy bills will be higher because the machine has to work harder to get rid of it all.

That’s not to mention the extra cost of the detergent itself. Plus, we always have to consider the environmental damage of the detergent and its packaging. So keeping use to a minimum makes good sense all round.

Fear of using too much can lead us to over compensate and add too little. However, this comes with its own set of problems. Without sufficient detergent your clothes won’t come out as clean, and stubborn stains will remain. Meaning more washes in the long run.

Then there is the issue of temperature. How hot or cold should the water be? Of course, you want your clothes to be clean but you also don’t want to waste energy or damage the fabrics. The temperature can also affect how much detergent is needed, meaning you need a degree in maths just to put on a quick wash.

This is where the Bosch i-DOS comes in. With its intelligent dosing system, the machine automatically senses the right amount of detergent and water to use. Then it washes it all at the correct temperature for the best possible results. That means every time you do a wash your clothes will be clean, you’ll be saving money and reducing your impact on the planet. Win, win, win.

Just fill the draw with 1.3 litres of detergent and the machine will take what it needs to do wash after wash. All you have to do is top up the drawer every now and then.

The drum uses special detectors to assess the weight, degree of soiling and even the fabric type. It will then make the calculations of how much detergent and water it needs to use.

The boffins at Bosch have calculated that you can save more than 7,000 litres of water a year if you do about 220 washes (the national average). Add to that several bottles of laundry detergent and the savings soon start to add up.

Check out the Bosch i-DOS range at Gerald Giles and take away one more headache from the weekly chores.
