Justin Bieber museum to open

The Stratford Perth Museum in Ontario, Canada, is set to open an exhibit that highlights the early career of its hometown hero, Justin Bieber.

The exhibit, made with help from Bieber’s grandparents Diane and Bruce Dale, will open February 18, and run indefinitely. Bieber donated items to the exhibit, including a hockey bag and jacket from his time with the Stratford Warriors, running shoes, microphones, photographs, personal letters, awards and much more.

Titled “Steps to Stardom,” the exhibit’s name references how the singer started out performing on the steps of Stratford’s Avon Theatre as a boy.

“The idea of it is to cover that period of his life,” general manager of the Stratford Perth Museum John Kastner told. “The step of the Avon Theatre was probably the turning point (in his life), but for many people around here, they knew he was talented years before that.”

Giant TV unveiled

Samsung has unveiled a television so huge it’s simply called, ‘The Wall’. The South Korean tech giant showed off the mega-telly at Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas, the most important consumer tech event of the year.

It’s the first Samsung gogglebox to feature MicroLEDs, which are much smaller than current LEDs in TVs and produce their own light so individual pixels can be turned on and off to provide richer colours and higher contrast. If for some reason the 146-inch TV isn’t big enough, you will be able to install several at once and build a modular screen as big as your living room.

“The Wall represents another breakthrough,” said Jonghee Han, president of visual display business at Samsung Electronics. It can be customised to any size and delivers incredible brightness, colour gamut, colour volume and black levels.”
