    LG’s 2025 QNED evo TVs go wireless with AI and personalized features

    LG Electronics has unveiled its groundbreaking 2025 QNED evo lineup, pushing the boundaries of premium LCD TVs with innovations in wireless technology, AI-powered performance, and hyper-personalization. These advancements reflect LG’s commitment to maintaining its leadership in the global TV market through a dual-track strategy that emphasizes both its self-emissive OLED and QNED evo technologies.

    The 2025 QNED evo lineup incorporates LG’s new proprietary wide color gamut technology, Dynamic QNED Color Solution, which replaces traditional quantum dots. This innovative technology enables the backlight to deliver pure, true-to-life colors with remarkable accuracy. Certified 100% for Color Volume by Intertek, the lineup ensures that the rich colors of original images are preserved without distortion, providing viewers with an experience that closely mirrors real life.

    For the first time, LG is integrating its revolutionary True Wireless 4K technology into the QNED evo (QNED9M) series. This feature, previously exclusive to the OLED evo M Series, enables wireless transmission of 4K content at 144Hz through a Zero Connect Box. This innovation eliminates the need for traditional wired connections, providing flexibility in setup while maintaining picture quality and minimizing delays. Gamers, in particular, will benefit from the AMD FreeSync Premium certification, which ensures smooth, lag-free visuals. The QNED evo models require only a power cord, allowing users to conveniently store gaming consoles and set-top boxes out of sight.

    The 2025 QNED evo lineup is powered by LG’s α8 AI Processor, which offers a 70% improvement in AI performance over previous models. This processor drives advanced features, such as Dynamic Tone Mapping Pro, which analyzes scenes to fine-tune HDR effects and brightness across zones for exceptional clarity. AI-powered sound optimization converts standard audio into virtual 9.1.2 surround sound and isolates voices from background noise for crystal-clear dialogue. Enhanced upscaling ensures seamless rendering of faces, objects, and backgrounds, staying true to the filmmaker’s intent.

    Personalization is at the forefront of the 2025 QNED evo experience. The AI Magic Remote features an AI button that enables tailored recommendations and intuitive searches. Powered by a Large Language Model (LLM), the remote supports advanced contextual queries. For example, users planning a trip to Paris can ask for movie recommendations set in the French capital, and the AI will suggest relevant titles based on the user’s preferences. Additional personalization tools include Voice ID and Generative AI Gallery, which adapt TV settings and content recommendations to individual viewing habits.

    The lineup also benefits from LG’s advanced webOS25 platform, which offers hyper-personalized services and supports up to five years of software updates through the webOS Re: New Program. This ensures that users enjoy a future-proof experience with continuous improvements in content and features.

    LG has expanded the screen size options for its QNED evo lineup, ranging from 40 inches to an ultra-large 100-inch model. This move addresses growing customer demand for immersive, super-large displays that deliver unparalleled home entertainment experiences.

    Hyoung-sei Park, president of LG Media Entertainment Solution Company, emphasized the significance of these advancements: “Our renewed 2025 LG QNED evo lineup inherits OLED’s differentiated picture quality along with a true wireless viewing experience and ultra-personalized solutions to deliver an outstanding super-large viewing experience that no other LCD TV can offer.”

    LG’s dual-track strategy reinforces its leadership in the global premium TV market, blending the distinct qualities of its OLED lineup with the accessible and innovative QNED evo series. As a recognized innovator in television and display technology, LG continues to enhance the media entertainment experience through its OLED and QNED evo TVs, gaming monitors, projectors, and the webOS smart TV platform.

    Sportradar reports notable decline in match-fixing in 2024 

    Consecutive years of detecting rising numbers of suspicious matches, match-fixing at all levels of global sport registered a notable decline in 2024, according to the annual integrity report (Integrity in Action 2024 Global Analysis & Trends) published by Sportradar Integrity Services, a unit of Sportradar.

    Throughout 2024, Sportradar Integrity Services monitored more than 850,000 matches across 70 sports worldwide, and 1,108 suspicious matches were identified, a 17% decrease from 2023. The highest number of suspicious matches were found across Europe, the region historically facing the most significant integrity issues. However, the year still ended with a 34% reduction in suspicious matches overall in this territory with 439 matches identified compared to 668 in 2023. Africa also finished with a considerable decline with 69 suspicious matches detected, a 36% decrease from 108 matches the year before.

    Notably, the world’s most popular sport, soccer, saw a considerable downturn, with 721 suspicious matches detected in 2024, a reduction of 18% from 881 matches in 2023. Moreover, Brazilian soccer, which has been affected by match-fixing cases in recent years, recorded a marked decrease of 48% with 57 suspicious matches discovered last year, down from 110 in 2023. Nevertheless, despite the overall reduction in the number of suspicious matches detected, match-fixing remains a persistent issue worldwide. 

    Sportradar uses advanced data analytics and artificial intelligence (AI) through its Universal Fraud Detection System (UFDS) to monitor competitions and identify irregular betting patterns. While AI flags unusual activity, such as substantial wagers on unlikely outcomes, Sportradar’s team of integrity experts is crucial in confirming match-fixing activities for further investigation. 

    Andreas Krannich, executive vice president of integrity, rights protection & regulatory services, Sportradar, said: “While the notable reduction in suspicious matches in 2024 gives us reason to be optimistic, it also signals the need for continued vigilance and innovation, given that the number remains significant.” 

    “Our investment in innovation combined with data insights into the betting industry and continued education on integrity are at the forefront of keeping pace with the ever-evolving global sports integrity landscape. We remain committed to refining our methods and capabilities and collaborating across the sports and betting industries to support foundational fair play and safeguard the integrity of sports worldwide,” explained Krannich. 

    During 2024, Sportradar provided integrity support for major global events such as the IOC 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris, UEFA EURO 2024, CONMEBOL Copa America 2024, and AFC Asian Cup 2023, showcasing its advanced bet monitoring and intelligence capabilities. In July, the company partnered with the ATP and Tennis Data Innovations to launch an AI-driven safe sport solution to protect athletes from online abuse, highlighting its commitment to using innovation to address wider integrity issues in sport.

    5 Google Gemini prompts to start 2025

    The new year is a great time for self-improvement! This can be quite challenging, but having someone to guide you and hold you accountable can make all the difference in achieving your goals. Along with trusted friends and family, consider enlisting the help of AI tools like Google’s Gemini. Gemini can offer personalized advice, track your progress, and even provide resources tailored to your goals. 

    To get the most out of Gemini, be specific with your questions. For example, instead of asking, “What are some good books?” try, “What are some good science fiction books for beginners?” Also, tell Gemini about your situation, like “I’m a student struggling with time management.” This helps Gemini give you better advice. 

    Don’t forget to ask Gemini follow-up questions too. This helps it refine its responses and provide even more relevant information. The more you interact, the better it understands your preferences.

    Here are some useful prompts to kickstart your 2025 with Gemini:

    • “Write a personal development plan for 2025, focusing on [specific area, e.g., career, health, relationships].”
      The new year is the best time to lay down some new personal goals, whether it’s for your career, hobbies, passions, or personal relationships. Gemini can help brainstorm goals, break them down into smaller steps, and suggest resources for achieving them.
    • “Suggest ways to reduce stress and improve my well-being.”
      Stress is always a permanent part of our lives – it’s on us to figure out how to manage it and its effects on our physical and mental wellbeing. Gemini can suggest relaxation techniques, mindfulness exercises, and healthy habits to incorporate into your daily routine.
    • “Analyze a past situation where I [describe a specific situation, e.g., failed to meet a deadline, had a conflict with a friend, made a poor decision]. Identify the factors that contributed to the outcome, both internal (my actions, thoughts, feelings) and external (circumstances, other people’s actions). Based on this analysis, suggest actionable steps I can take to avoid similar situations or achieve a better outcome in the future.”
      Can’t stop thinking about a past incident or event where you may have acted badly? This prompt encourages deep reflection on a past event, with which Gemini can help dissect the situation objectively. Gemini can pinpoint areas where you could have acted differently, and then helps translate those insights into concrete actions for improvement in similar situations in the future.
    • “I’m reflecting on a recurring pattern in my life where I [describe the pattern, e.g., struggle with public speaking, avoid taking risks, get easily discouraged]. Can you help me trace this pattern back to its possible origins in my past experiences? Based on this understanding, suggest strategies for breaking this pattern and developing healthier behaviors.”
      If you’ve managed to identify a behavior or habit that doesn’t serve you positively, Gemini can act as a sounding board, helping you connect the dots between past experiences and present behaviors. By understanding the root causes, you can work on more effective and lasting change.
    • “Summarize the key takeaways from [book/article/podcast] on [relevant topic].”
      If you like to read or consume a lot of self-help and self-improvement content, Gemini can quickly summarize this information, making it easier to digest, learn, and apply new knowledge to your life.

    No matter what you choose to ask Gemini, always remember that you can get the best possible results when you know how to prompt it. Be specific with your requests and ask Gemini follow-up questions, be honest with yourself and your role in your self-improvement, and always focus on learning.

    NAIA operations, passenger experience enhanced by new vehicles

    Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA), operated by New NAIA Infra Corp. (NNIC), has introduced a new fleet of vehicles to support its ground operations, improve passenger convenience, and ensure the safe and efficient flow of movements at the airport.

    The new additions include two new ambulances equipped with advanced medical tools and staffed by trained paramedics to provide swift medical assistance when needed. 

    Three “follow-me” vehicles have also been added to guide aircraft to their designated parking positions more efficiently, helping minimize taxi times and contributing to smoother operations. 

    NAIA
    Enhancing efficiency and passenger experience: NAIA expands its existing fleet of vehicles with new ambulances, ‘follow-me’ vehicles, and inter-terminal coasters to support seamless airport operations.

    Four inter-terminal coasters have also been deployed to facilitate seamless airside transfers, providing passengers with a more comfortable and efficient way to move between terminals, particularly those with connecting flights or mobility challenges.

    “These vehicles are essential to support efficient operations and improve the overall passenger experience at NAIA. They complement NAIA’s existing fleet and reflect our commitment to providing a seamless and reliable airport experience,” NNIC president Ramon S. Ang said. 

    The deployment of these new vehicles comes as NAIA continues to experience rapid growth. For the whole of 2024, NAIA welcomed a record-breaking 50.1 million passengers—a 10.43% increase from 2023. 

    Having additional vehicles ensures smooth operations during peak periods, maintenance schedules, and emergencies. It also allows NAIA to maintain high service standards while prioritizing passenger safety and comfort.

    This initiative is part of NNIC’s broader efforts to modernize NAIA and deliver world-class service.

    Honda partners with ACTION Tamang Ride PH to enhance road safety

    Honda — through Honda Foundation, Inc. (HFI) and Honda Philippines, Inc. (HPI) — has taken a significant step toward improving road safety in the Philippines. A new partnership with Tamang Ride PH, a road safety advocacy initiative by A Child’s Trust is Ours to Nurture (ACTION), Inc., has been formalized through a memorandum of agreement. This collaboration aims to enhance road safety awareness, with a particular focus on children, teens, and beginner riders. The partnership was commemorated with a PHP1 million donation from Honda to support the development of the Tamang Ride App and other advocacy materials.

    A shared vision for road safety

    The Tamang Ride PH movement, set to launch in May 2025, will create a platform for engaging Filipinos in road safety discussions. It also seeks to amplify awareness through social media content, events, and testimonials. Honda’s collaboration will include sharing road safety training materials and hosting skills programs like its original Kids on Safety and Teen Smart initiatives. HFI president Seiji Fujimoto, emphasized Honda’s dedication to creating safer roads for Filipino families, noting that this partnership aligns with Honda’s long-term goal of halving global traffic deaths by 2030.

    Road safety education: A focus on the youth

    Honda Safety Driving Center (HSDC), a premier training facility in Parañaque City, will play a pivotal role in this initiative. The center will lead the development of educational modules, funded by an additional PHP980,000 donation, and will oversee Training the Trainers sessions for road safety educators. These efforts will ensure that essential road safety principles reach children (ages 3–7), teens (ages 13–17), and first-time riders, instilling a lifelong commitment to safe driving practices.

    ACTION Inc.’s executive director Lani Llanes praised the partnership, noting that it leverages Honda’s expertise to foster a culture of safety across communities, particularly in underserved areas.

    Leveraging technology for safer roads

    A key feature of this partnership is the development of the Tamang Ride App, which will provide a digital platform for road safety education and advocacy. The app will include interactive features such as road safety tips, crash data collection, and testimonials from road users. By integrating these tools with Honda’s existing collaborations with public institutions like the Metro Manila Development Authority (MMDA), the initiative will create a comprehensive roadmap for reducing road crashes and protecting families nationwide.

    Global commitment to local impact

    Honda’s efforts in the Philippines are part of its broader commitment to road safety, as demonstrated by its recent partnership with the United Nations to improve global road safety standards. Honda Philippines’ collaboration with ACTION Inc. marks another milestone, reflecting its vision of “Safety for Everyone” and its goal of achieving zero road crashes by 2050.

    Honda’s brand philosophy, encapsulated by the slogan “The Power of Dreams,” drives its mission to create value for society through innovative mobility solutions and meaningful partnerships. As the Road Safety Ambassador, Honda continues to empower communities, making roads safer for future generations.

    Prioritize Debt Repayment

    Start the year by addressing existing debts. High-interest debts can quickly become overwhelming, so consider consolidating them into a single, more manageable loan. This strategy can reduce overall interest and simplify monthly payments, freeing up more income for other financial goals.

    Create a Realistic Budget

    Effective financial management starts with a clear and realistic budget. Review your income and expenses to understand where your money is going. Allocate funds to essential expenses first, then dedicate a portion of your income to savings or debt repayment. A well-planned budget helps ensure financial stability and growth.

    Set Clear Financial Goals

Whether you’re saving for a vacation, investing in education, or building an emergency fund, clearly defined goals help you stay focused. Break them into smaller, manageable steps to track your progress and celebrate achievements.

    Avoid Impulse Purchases

    Impulse purchases can derail financial plans. Before making a purchase, consider its necessity and how it fits into your financial strategy. Being mindful of your spending habits helps prevent financial setbacks and keeps you aligned with your goals.

    Monitor Your Progress

    Regularly reviewing your financial situation is crucial for staying on track. Keep an eye on your spending and savings to gain insights into your financial habits. Revisit your budget and goals at least once a month to make necessary adjustments and stay accountable.
