New Apple TV pictures

By Greg Mombert September 1, 2010

Apple unveiled its latest Apple TV today at a press event in San Francisco. The rumored price of $99 was confirmed, as well as the lack of 1080p playback. It will be 720p capable like the last Apple TV, but also adds some notable features including Netflix support and a new seven-button aluminum remote. Apple has also stripped some features out of the device by removing hard drive storage, component and RCA outputs and replacing the standard USB port with a Micro-USB. Some predicted that it would be getting app support, but sadly that is not the case. However, the new Apple TV is less than half the price of the original, which still lists for over $200, so the reduction of features is negated by such a low launch price.

Best soundbars of 2024: a sound upgrade for your TV

The Sonos Ace headphones in front of the Sonos Arc soundbar.

Today's best TVs, while visually stunning, often sacrifice audio quality in favor of sleek designs. Those razor-thin screens don't have the space to house powerful speakers that can deliver a truly immersive audio experience. This is where soundbars come in. These compact audio systems are designed to dramatically enhance your TV’s sound, bringing movies, games, and music to life. Many soundbars even mimic the effect of a full surround sound setup, creating a three-dimensional soundscape with technologies like Dolby Atmos.

You've likely seen soundbars at electronics retailers like Best Buy and Target or while browsing Amazon online (we've even got an explainer on how to buy a soundbar, too). With a wide range of models available, there's a perfect soundbar for every budget and home theater setup. Here are our favorites for 2024.
