Hisense Flagship U9G 4K Mini-LED TV

Utilisant une technologie de rétroéclairage unique et plus de 180 zones de gradation locales, le Hisense U9G produit des noirs plus profonds et un contraste époustouflant avec sa technologie de contrôle de rétroéclairage à l’échelle millimétrique. Contrairement aux LED traditionnelles, les mini-LED ont des zones gradables qui sont beaucoup plus petites et fournissent un contrôle plus granulaire sur les images pour améliorer la luminosité globale, les couleurs et le contraste.

En outre, l’U9G utilise la technologie Quantum Dot Colour de Hisense pour étendre la gamme de couleurs et afficher plus d’un milliard de nuances de couleurs avec une précision vive. Combiné avec son magnifique écran de 120 Hz de 75 pouces, 1 000 nits de luminosité maximale et la technologie de gradation locale complète de Hisense, l’U9G permet l’affichage d’images vraiment précises et dynamiques.

Avec plus de contenus africains en streaming en ligne, l’U9G porte l’expérience du home cinéma à un niveau supérieur avec IMAX Enhanced, un écosystème révolutionnaire qui permet aux familles de libérer la puissance de l’échelle, du son et de l’image signature d’IMAX à domicile. IMAX Enhanced combine le contenu numérique remasterisé 4K HDR et les technologies audio DTS pour des couleurs étonnantes, un contraste élevé, une clarté supérieure et un son incroyable – le tout sans avoir à sortir de chez soi.

L’U9G est également doté de la technologie d’optimisation des images IA, qui reconnaît intelligemment les scénarios en temps réel afin que les téléspectateurs puissent tirer le meilleur parti de leur contenu. Grâce à l’IA, le téléviseur capture instantanément chaque trame de l’image et tout signal d’entrée vidéo, puis identifie et optimise automatiquement les paramètres de qualité d’image. Qu’il s’agisse de paysages, de sports, de dessins animés ou de visages, l’U9G ajuste l’affichage pour rendre l’expérience visuelle aussi riche et captivante que possible.

Les autres caractéristiques comprennent une télécommande de commande vocale intelligente pour des opérations rapides et pratiques; et Game Mode Pro, qui permet aux joueurs de profiter de réponses instantanées avec le mode de faible latence automatique et un VRR continu pour minimiser le décalage d’entrée, la gigue et la déchirure de l’écran.

Le téléviseur U9G peut être acheté dans les magasins Takealot et New World en Afrique du Sud.

South Africa jails twins for terrorism over US embassy plot

JOHANNESBURG, A South African court convicted and jailed twin brothers for terrorism on Monday over plans to attack the US embassy in Pretoria and join the Daesh group, local media reported.

Tony-Lee Thulsie and Brandon-Lee Thulsie, both 28, were arrested in South Africa in July 2016 and have been held in custody since.

The South African brothers pleaded guilty Monday as part of a plea bargain with the prosecution, according to local media.

The Johannesburg High Court slapped Tony-Lee with an 11-year jail term while his brother Brandon-Lee was sentenced to eight years.

Both pleaded guilty to planning to travel to Syria to join Daesh, the media reports said.

Tony-Lee also admitted to planning a terrorist attack in South Africa, they added.

Prosecutors said attacks also had been planned against US, British, Russian or French diplomats in Pretoria as well as Jewish institutions.

The United States added the pair to its terror blacklist in 2017.

The arrests of the brothers in 2016 were the first in South Africa relating to alleged Daesh membership.

South Africa has so far been spared the jihadist attacks that have struck several other countries on the continent, including its eastern neighbor Mozambique.

‘Everything Is Gone’: Madagascans Face Destitution in Cyclone’s Wake

MANANJARY, MADAGASCAR — The death toll from Madagascar’s latest cyclone rose to 29 Tuesday as residents of a devastated coastal town tried to fix their homes or build temporary shacks from wood and palm fronds scattered by the violent winds.

Cyclone Batsirai slammed into the Indian Ocean island late Saturday, battering the southeastern coastline until it moved away late Sunday, leaving 91,000 people with damaged or destroyed homes, according to the state disaster relief agency.

It was Madagascar’s second destructive storm in two weeks, after Cyclone Ana killed 55 people and displaced 130,000 in a different area of the country, further north.

The island nation, which has a population of nearly 30 million, was already struggling with food shortages in the south, a consequence of a severe and prolonged drought. The World Food Program said Batsirai had made the situation worse by destroying crops that were just two weeks from harvest.

In Mananjary, one of the worst affected towns, entire neighborhoods had been flattened, with planks of wood, palm fronds, clothing and household items strewn everywhere. A long sandy beach was covered in debris.

“Our TV, my CD player, all of our clothing, all the kitchenware, everything is gone,” said resident Philibert Jean-Claude Razananoro, 49, surveying his collapsed home.

He and his family were staying in a school, designated as an evacuation center by the government, but they had been told they would have to leave at the weekend for lessons to resume next week.

“We plan to build a small shack just here, but we don’t really have the means to do it,” he said, appealing to the international community to help.

Many other residents were hammering at toppled wooden walls, seeking to separate individual planks to start rebuilding, but the task was daunting. Drone footage filmed by Reuters showed vast areas where almost nothing was left standing.

Doctor Malek Danish Andrianarison, known locally as Dr. Gino, had to turn away a man with an injured leg for lack of medicines or clean bandages to treat him after the cyclone blew away the roof of his house, which also contained his medical practice.

“You see here I have no roof, the medicine is ruined,” he said, gesturing helplessly at piles of damaged boxes of medication and soggy patient notes strewn on the ground. “You saw the man that was here, I couldn’t do anything for him.”

Dr. Gino said he was relatively privileged and had enough to eat, but he felt desperately sorry for poorer people in the neighborhood who had been left destitute.

Lisa Mara Lang, head of supply chain for Madagascar at the World Food Program, said humanitarian agencies were working alongside the Madagascar authorities to assess the extent of the damage and the needs of the population. She said it would likely take several days for a fuller picture to emerge.
