LG releases first automatically bendable curve TV
The LG OLED Flex
LG Electronics continues to innovate with the first remote-controlled automatically bendable OLED TV soon releasing in Singapore.
The 42-inch LG OLED Flex (model LX3) is powered by LG’s α (Alpha) 9 Gen 5 AI processor, as well as picture algorithms to provide the most immersive experience. The versatile OLED TV has a 4K resolution and 120Hz refresh rate, with support for Dolby Vision gaming.
It gives users plenty of options with its 20 levels of curvature, where it can go from flat to a 900R curved TV using a remote control.
The curvature may be adjusted using two presets on a dedicated button on the remote. Alternatively, users may manually change the degree of curvature in five-degree increments.
The device may also be tilted up to 10 degrees upward or five degrees away from you, on top of its height-adjustable stand.
Another feature that stands out is the ability to adjust the size of the onscreen image, from 27 inches all the way up to 42 inches. The new LX3-exclusive Game app will also support screensavers, shortcuts to apps, and more.
More features include:
- Multi-View mode for multiple content viewing
- Gaming Optimizer for customized sound settings
- Switching Hub function for seamless connectivity
The LG OLED Flex is just one of many cutting-edge TVs that LG will be showcasing at Hall 18 of the IFA 2022 from September 2 to 6, 2022.

The Super Mario Galaxy Movie trailer shows first look at Yoshi
The premiere was also moved up by a few days.
As a fan of the Super Mario games, I’m still waiting patiently for the next 3D Mario title. In the meantime, we’ve got Mario in 3D to stave off the hunger. The Super Mario Galaxy Movie will premiere on April 1, and it just got a new trailer.
The Super Mario Galaxy Movie was announced quite some time ago, if the first film’s stinger wasn’t enough of a confirmation for you. As in that post-credits scene, Yoshi is set to make his debut. Now, the new trailer reveals the green dinosaur for the first time.
In the trailer, Mario and Luigi head to the Sand Kingdom to investigate a strange disturbance inside a pyramid. The disturbance turns out to be a scared Yoshi. What follows is a short montage of scenes from the movie but doesn’t reveal much of the connection between Yoshi and the movie’s story.
From the previous trailer, Bowser Jr. wants to claim the throne as the universe’s big baddie. It’s still unknown how Yoshi (and even Rosalina) connects to the overall plot.
Still, the trailer has a bunch of Easter eggs for fans of the franchise. For one, the Sand Kingdom is an area from the latest 3D Mario game, Super Mario Odyssey. Heading into the pyramid, you might also hear a subdued version of the “Underground Theme”. Then, when Yoshi finally appears, you’ll hear Super Mario World’s “Overworld Theme”.
The trailer also shows a peek at Birdo.
From the new trailer, The Super Mario Galaxy Movie will premiere a few days earlier on April 1. Previously, it was set to premiere on April 3.

How a low-impact workout can turn your resolution into a habit
Indoor rowing is more approachable than you think
The best fitness habits are the ones that challenge your body without breaking it down. That’s why low-impact workouts tend to stick — they are effective yet kind to your body. They don’t leave you dreading the next session.
One of the most underrated examples of this is indoor rowing. If it’s something you’ve only seen at the gym, or never tried at all, then you’re in for a treat.
The machine can look intimidating but you’ll be surprised how approachable the workout actually is. And when you bring a rowing machine into your home, it can easily be a part of your daily rhythm.
Here’s why getting a rowing machine like the Merach NovaRow R50 can turn your fitness resolution into a habit you actually keep all year.
Low-impact, full body workout 
Just because indoor rowing is a low-impact workout, it doesn’t mean it’s low effort. Each stroke works your legs, core, back, arms, and shoulders in one smooth motion. You get cardio and a bit of strength without pounding on your joints.
That’s what makes it sustainable. Whether you’re just starting out or trying again, indoor rowing meets you where you are on your fitness journey and lets you build progress without wearing you down.
Comfort and stability lead to consistency
There aren’t many workouts where you get to sit down, and that’s the best part about rowing. The Merach NovaRow R50 features an ergonomic, padded seat that won’t make your butt sore after a long session.
Compared to its more expensive counterparts, it also comes with wider foot straps so your feet stay locked in place. Every stroke feels steady and controlled.
Exercise that feels like an experience
Motivation doesn’t come from discipline alone. When workouts are immersive, they stop feeling like obligations.
Built into the free Merach app are guided classes, scenic rows, and games. When you wake up knowing your exercise is going to be fun instead of torture, your resolution can easily develop into a habit that you look forward to.
Better than a gym membership
One sale the Merach NovaRow R50 is $529.99, which is a fraction of what many people pay for a full year at the gym. Unlike a membership, it’s a one time investment that will call to you because it’s already there at home.
Whether it’s raining, freezing, or scorching outside, your new routine will not be dependent on weather conditions. Your habit is set up and ready for you.
At the end of the day, turning a fitness resolution into a lasting habit will always feel like a challenge. But it doesn’t need to be. It’s achievable if you set yourself up with something that fits your budget, lifestyle, and schedule.
