Instagramは、短尺動画中心のサービスから長編動画も扱うストリーミング基盤へ転換を図る。米国で最大90分の動画投稿、横向き表示、短編から長編への直接リンクを試験するほか、連続コンテンツ機能「Series」やテレビ視聴にも対応する。短編で発見し、テレビで長編を楽しむ流れをアプリ内に統合し、YouTubeに対抗すると同時に、拡大する動画クリップ市場の取り込みを狙う。過去に縦動画限定で失敗したIGTVの教訓も生かす構想だ。

Instagram is testing “features,” a horizontal video format supporting clips up to 90 minutes, initially for selected comedians and podcasters. Meta hopes users will watch full podcasts and comedy programs on TVs after discovering shorter clips through Reels. The company is expanding its TV apps to Apple TV, alongside existing Fire TV, Samsung, and Google TV platforms, with support for Stories, live streams, and episodic “series.” The initiative aims to challenge YouTube and attract more valuable advertising partnerships. Meta previously attempted a similar strategy with IGTV, which was discontinued in 2022, but says it remains committed to longform video over the long term.

Apple TVのリモコンには、便利なショートカットが多数ある。ホーム/コントロールセンターボタンを二度押しするとアプリを終了でき、長押しで音声出力先やWi-Fi、Bluetooth機器、スマートホームを操作できる。クリックパッドでは動画の早送り・巻き戻しが可能で、VoiceOverも利用できる。入力中は再生/一時停止ボタンで大文字と小文字を切り替え、戻るボタンを二度押すとスクリーンセーバーを起動できる。

Appleは各OSの27.2アップデートを公開した。対応するiPhoneでは、Siriが過去の会話を参照でき、メッセージ内の写真、カレンダーの参加者、留守番電話など詳細な情報も検索可能となった。応答の一部選択や対象アプリの除外、仏・日・韓・葡・西語にも対応した。iPad、Mac、Apple Watch、Apple TVなどにも機能強化や安全性改善を適用した。

WIRED rates the LG B6 OLED TV 7/10. It offers affordable OLED quality, deep blacks, easy setup, useful features, and excellent 120-Hz gaming performance. However, its brightness, contrast, color saturation, and Wi-Fi standard lag behind newer Micro RGB and competing models. WebOS is functional but the pointer-enabled remote is frustrating. At $1,300, the B6 is a capable entry-level OLED, but the brighter LG C6 costs only $200 more and delivers significantly better value.

Old speakers can improve TV sound cheaply. Active PC speakers need power and a 3.5mm or RCA connection, while passive speakers require an amplifier. Analog TV outputs are simplest; optical outputs need a DAC, and HDMI ARC requires compatible equipment. A phone charger can power USB speakers when the TV port is insufficient.

スマートテレビはWi-Fi 6などに対応し、Ethernetより高速になる場合が多いが、動画視聴では十分な速度があれば差は小さい。Ethernetは速度制限がある一方、電波干渉や混雑に強く、通信が安定するため、接続しやすく不具合がある場合に有効である。ただし配線が難しい場合は、ルーターの設置場所を改善するなどしてWi-Fiを使うのが現実的である。

Roku’s Pro Series LX OLED TVs are now available exclusively on Amazon in 55-inch and 65-inch sizes, priced at $1,300 and $1,600. They are Roku’s most advanced televisions, featuring a 144Hz variable refresh rate for smoother gaming, higher brightness, wider color range, and an improved polarizer that reduces reflections. The TVs include a rechargeable voice remote, an ultra-thin metal design, Roku OS with built-in streaming apps, and support for Dolby Vision, HDR10+, and Dolby Atmos.

Roku’s first OLED TV offers impressive color, deep blacks, smooth 120-Hz performance, and an exceptionally intuitive interface at an affordable price. Its simple setup, excellent remote, gaming responsiveness, and reliable connectivity make it an appealing upgrade for users moving from older televisions. However, the panel lacks the brightness and visual punch of premium OLED models, especially in dark scenes, and the TV comes only in 55- and 65-inch sizes. The remote is comfortable and backlit but not rechargeable, while voice control remains limited compared with Alexa and Google Assistant. Roku’s interface is friendly and customizable, though advertisements and occasional manual app sign-ins are minor annoyances. Overall, the Pro Series OLED is a strong budget choice that delivers rich picture quality and an enjoyable user experience, earning a rating of 7 out of 10.

WIRED highlights discounted art TVs, led by Samsung’s Frame Pro at $1,598 and the standard Frame at a record-low $898. Hisense CanvasTV costs $750, while Black Friday may bring further price cuts.

Amazon has upgraded Alexa with Alexa+, a generative-AI assistant powered by Anthropic and Amazon Nova. It can handle complex conversations, manage smart-home devices, research topics, and perform tasks such as booking restaurants, tickets, rides, and deliveries through services including Uber, Ticketmaster, Grubhub, and OpenTable. Alexa+ is available on compatible Echo and Fire TV devices, Amazon tablets, the Alexa app, website, and Amazon Music. Full access is free for Amazon Prime members, while nonmembers must pay $19.99 monthly. Limited access is available through the app and website, with a possible 30-day trial. The service is fully available in the United States and Canada, with early access in several other countries. Despite its broad capabilities, early users report inconsistent answers, memory problems, delays, and hearing issues. Alexa+ remains useful for household tasks but has not yet achieved Amazon’s promised transformational experience.
Smart TVs use Automatic Content Recognition (ACR) to capture screenshots and identify what users watch on streaming services, consoles, and other devices. They may also collect IP addresses, Wi-Fi details, app usage, and voice recordings. This data is analyzed, shared with manufacturers and data brokers, and used to create detailed profiles for targeted advertising across devices. Although companies claim ACR improves services and keeps prices low, critics argue that the feature is difficult to disable and poorly disclosed. Users should review privacy settings, disable viewing data and personalized advertising, restrict microphones, and consider taking the TV offline or blocking its network traffic. Settings may reset after software updates, so they should be checked regularly.

The Roku remote’s star button is a multifunctional options and accessibility key whose function changes depending on context. On the home screen, it can remove or rearrange apps, display app information, check for updates, submit feedback, and rename external devices on Roku TVs. While streaming, it opens a sidebar with viewing controls such as picture settings, sleep timers, closed captions, and volume modes, though available options vary by app and device. On supported Roku products, pressing the star button four times quickly activates the text-to-speech screen reader, also known as Audio Guide. Detailed accessibility settings, including speech speed and volume, remain available through the Settings menu.

Valerion VisionMaster Maxは、3,500 ISOルーメンのRGBトリプルレーザーと独自の絞り・黒レベル処理により、明るさ、色彩、コントラスト、黒の深さに優れた4Kプロジェクターである。Google TVや自動補正、光学ズーム、レンズシフトで設置も容易で、接続性やゲーム性能も充実している。一方、内蔵スピーカーは映像に及ばず、約4,000ドルと高価で、気軽な用途には過剰な製品である。大画面と外部音響を整え、本格的に映像を楽しむ人向けの機種である。

If the Nintendo Switch 2 shows a black screen, power off the TV, unplug the dock for 30 seconds, and reconnect the official or compatible 54W AC adapter. Check the dock, outlet, and cables for damage. Use the included Ultra High Speed HDMI cable and select the correct TV input. Enable gaming mode, ALLM, or HDMI-enhancement settings if available. Update the console, set TV resolution to Automatic, and enable Match TV Power State. Test another HDMI cable, port, or TV. Contact Nintendo Support if the problem persists.

AWOL Vision Aetherion Maxは、暗室でも日中でも鮮やかで高精細な4K映像を投影できるRGBレーザー式超短焦点プロジェクターだ。豊富な画質設定により暗部や色彩を調整でき、映画館並みの迫力と優れた内蔵音響を実現する。Google TV、Wi-Fi 7、豊富な端子も魅力だ。自動台形補正やリモコン、天井方向の音響には弱点があるが、価格に見合う最高級モデルである。

Apple’s 2026 Apple TV 4K costs $299, $100 more than the previous model, and launches November 13. It replaces the A15 chip with a faster A19, doubles RAM, adds AV1 decoding, Wi‑Fi 7, Bluetooth 6, built-in microphones for hands-free Siri, and a redesigned remote with Precision Finding. It also supports four HomePods for surround sound. However, Siri AI is coming to the 2022 model through a software update, while both generations remain limited to 4K at 60fps and support the same major HDR and audio standards. The new model’s extra storage, Ethernet, faster performance, and microphone convenience may benefit gamers and heavy Siri users, but regular streamers are unlikely to notice a major improvement. Owners of the 2022 model should generally skip the upgrade, while users of older Apple TV models may find the new hardware more appealing.

Smart TV software support varies widely by brand and region. Samsung offers seven years of Tizen updates for TVs released from 2024, while LG’s webOS Re:New program guarantees four years of updates for many 2022-and-newer models. Sony and TCL provide support based on individual models rather than fixed policies. Hisense promises up to eight years for European TVs using VIDAA, but support depends on the operating system in other regions. Roku has no stated support period, though its software focus suggests reliable longevity. Vizio regularly issues firmware updates without guaranteeing a duration, while Insignia TVs using Fire TV receive at least four years of Amazon security updates. When a TV reaches the end of official support, an inexpensive streaming device can extend its usable life and maintain access to updated apps.

アップルは、AlexaやGoogle Assistantに後れを取ってきたスマートホーム市場で、AI刷新したSiriを軸に巻き返しを図る。スマートディスプレイ「Apple HomeView」、HomePod mini 2、新型Apple TV 4Kを投入し、Matter対応やLGなどとの機器連携でエコシステムを拡大する。個人情報を生かした音声操作が強みだが、Siri AIが家庭で実用性を証明できるかが課題である。

Appleは、新型Apple TV 4K向けに開発したSiri AIを、2021年発売の第2世代Apple TV 4K以降の旧モデルにも提供すると発表した。機能は今秋配信予定のtvOS 27.2でベータ版として利用可能になる。ただし、旧モデルは処理性能やマイクが不足しており、ハンズフリー操作やスマートホーム機能の一部が制限される可能性がある。詳細は未確定である。

AppleはHomePod mini 2を149ドルで発表し、従来機より50ドル値上げした。新チップS10により、自然な会話が可能なSiri AIや音楽に連動するSound Glowを搭載するが、Siri AIは発売時未対応で、個人情報を使う機能にはApple Intelligence対応のiPhoneやiPadが必要となる。音質面の大幅な改良はなく、既存ユーザーの買い替え優先度は低い。一方、Apple TVと組み合わせたサラウンド環境やMac用スピーカーを求める新規購入者には有力な選択肢となる。

Apple’s new Apple TV 4K adds hands-free Siri AI for content searches and questions, plus a beeping remote locator. HomePod mini 2 gains the S10 chip, Sound Glow, four-speaker surround support and improved Mac desktop audio, though Siri AI arrives later.

Apple is making its biggest smart-home push in years after improving Siri and expanding Matter support. Its new lineup includes the $299 HomeView smart display, the $149 HomePod Mini 2, and a fourth-generation Apple TV 4K starting at $299. HomeView offers personalized Siri features, Face ID-based profiles, curated apps, and control of connected devices, but requires a compatible iPhone for its full capabilities. Apple is also launching the Home Collection with LG and Schneider Electric, including cameras, a video doorbell, smart lock, thermostats, and sensors, all managed through Apple’s Home app. The HomePod Mini 2 adds new colors and lighting effects but will receive the upgraded Siri later through a software update. The products will roll out from October to December 2026 in selected markets.

マイクロソフトは、XboxのゲームIPを映画やドラマ、商品、ライブイベントなどへ展開する新部門「XP」を設立した。Xboxの世界観やキャラクターを新たな観客に届け、ファン層を拡大し、世界最大のエンターテインメント企業を目指す戦略の一環である。責任者は元ルーカスフィルム幹部で、映画『マインクラフト/ザ・ムービー』のプロデューサーも務めたケイリーン・ウォルターズ氏である。今後は『Gears of War』『Diablo』『Forza』『The Elder Scrolls』などの映像化や、コジマプロダクションとの協業も進める方針である。
