Nowadays we have so many options and devices connected to our TV.  No one has found a convenient way to manage them all. The Caavo Streaming TV Box ($399) claims to have the solution. Caavo doesn't run apps, and has no logins they've managed to support nearly anything you might plug in. As a result, it can let you search for shows on your cable or satellite box, Apple TV, Amazon Fire TV, Roku, Xbox, and more, all from a single intuitive interface, and without the need to jump between HDMI inputs on your TV. The Caavo has 8 HDMI connections and has a voice activated feature on the remote. It also works with Amazon's Alexa and Google Home will be coming soon. It comes in 4 different colors. See video below for me information.

The PlayStation 4 is way more than just a game console, with an array of streaming apps and a Bluray player. Its a great addition to any home theater setup. Although, it still looks just like a plain old console. The Toast Wooden Playstation 4 Cover ($59) can spruce it up for you and give it that vintage wood look for better aesthetics . Available in ash, bamboo, ebony, or walnut finishes, they're cut from single pieces of veneer and attach easily with peel and stick adhesive backing.

Welcome to The Collective Loop Playlist-94. Love is in the air so why not dance to love of music and feel the sounds of the world.  In this months installment we have new music by Urban Cone, Haux, RL Grime and more. Press play and let the sounds begin!

Inspired by honestly made wooden furniture, which makes for a powerful, beautiful computer. Wen buying a computer you usually can go for the look or for the upgrade capabilities but with the Volta V Computer you get both. Its uni-body chassis is cut from American hardwood, precision-machined, and then assembled and finished by hand. The components inside are laid out on a single level, protected by a magnetically-attached lid that makes upgrades and repairs easy. And its 5.5-inch height makes it not only ideal as a monitor stand but also lets you store your keyboard underneath. Available with a wide range of components, and with your choice of a bamboo or walnut case. Check out Volta V to get more info

Every year Pantone reveals the color of the year and this year it is: Greenery 15-0343. The color they pick sets the tone for the year ahead, predicting trends in fashion, interiors, advertising, and pretty much everything else involving amazing colors.

Greenery is intended to symbolize a ‘new beginning’, representing what Pantone sees ‘taking place in our global culture’.


It’s a ‘fresh and zesty yellow-green shade’ with connections to nature and fresh starts. Which feels appropriate given how much we want to hit refresh on all the gloom and doom of the year of 2016.

So, where is the stand or speakers on this TV? The Sony XBR-A1E Bravia OLED TV being Sony's first OLED set — eight million self-illuminating pixels, incredible viewing angles, HDR support, and insane black levels — this new TV takes advantage of what's unique about the technology. Like other OLED sets, it's extremely thin, but instead of hiding all the guts in a box underneath, or protruding from the back, it hides its powerful processors, inputs, and a sub-woofer in a folding kickstand. As for speakers, it uses the entire screen itself to emit sound, creating a unification of image and audio normally only see in theaters. Available in 55, 65, and 75-inch models.


   

Happy New Years and welcome to The Collective Loop Playlist-93! A new year with new music. You can never go wrong with that.  In this months installment we have new music by Mutemath, The XX, Ratatat and more...

Larger monitor screens might be a little large but not when it's curved. That's why the curve of the Samsung Quantum Dot Curved 34" Monitor ($999) makes so much sense. In addition to its view-enhancing bend, it also uses quantum dot technology to cover more than 125 percent of the sRGB spectrum,Ultra WQHD enables a screen resolution of 3440 x 1440 — 2.5 times the pixel density of Full HD , and a sleek white chassis that minimizes the bezel and hides unsightly cords in the neck. The result is an ideal large-format screen for those who need the extra real estate, and a luxurious playing field for serious gamers.
