The new Halo TV show manages to look incredibly cheap and expensive at the same time, will release on March 24

A Halo live-action movie has been in the works since 2007 and after years of languishing in production hell, we’ve finally got a trailer. The new show is being developed at Paramount Plus, home of the excellent Yellowstone. We actually got a bit of sneak-peek at the show back during the Game Awards but we’ve now got a full-fledged trailer that shows off some of the story and what fans can expect. The Halo TV show stars Pablo Schreiber as Master Chief and we’ve got a bunch of riff-raff that no one cares about. The show will hit the streaming service on March 24, 2022. 

The new Halo trailer just hit the internet

Judging from the trailer, it seems that the showrunners have not followed the game canon and will be telling a story that is separate from the main Halo games. While that sounds well and good, we are more concerned about the show pushing The Message, like every other modern TV show. Also, the sets and some of the effects look incredibly cheap, like it was filmed at a CW set but some of it looks excellent. For what it’s worth, this reminds us of The Witcher on Netflix, which is a travesty of epic proportions. You can check out the trailer below to confirm our suspicions. 

We also get a good look at Cortana and the Arbiter. While the Arbiter does look accurate to the game, Cortana is anything but. To be fair, 343 Studios kind of destroyed the franchise so it’s fitting that the show will be using more designs from their games. Oh well, you can check out the trailer below and judge it for yourselves. As far as we are concerned, this looks to be dead on arrival.

Apple iMac Pro could make a comeback alongside iPhone SE 5G, and Mac Mini during 2022 Spring Event

According to the latest Mark Gurman’s newsletter, Apple is likely to re-release the iMac Pro during its upcoming Spring 2022 event. Introduced in 2017 as a workstation-grade computer, Apple discontinued the iMac Pro last year. Also, as everyone knows, Cupertino is slowly but steadily shifting its entire range of devices on powerful homemade Apple silicon, it's probably the best time for the discontinued iMac Pro to make a triumphant return. The newsletter alleges that the Apple iMac Pro will likely have a bigger screen size than 24-inch. It may also feature a mini-LED ProMotion 120Hz display. 

Apart from that, Apple currently sells two iMac products - a 24-inch M1 powered version and a bigger 27-inch model still using an Intel 10th Gen processor lineup. Another recent report also alleged that the 27-inch iMac is also likely to get the M1 silicon treatment. If the rumours from Ross Young, a display industry consultant are true. The newer Apple 27-inch iMac could feature a mini-LED ProMotion display with 120Hz high refresh rate support. 

Apple could launch the iMac Pro and the 27-inch iMac separately, equipping each of them with some combination of M1 Pro and M1 Pro Mac chip or Cupertino can release a single iMac and discontinue the 27-inch iMac altogether. Personally, I think the former event has a higher possibility. 

Apple 27-inch iMac Pro And Other Probable Spring 2022 Event Announcements

If speculations are anything to go by then the upcoming Apple 2022 Sprint event will feature a lot of new products. In addition to the above-mentioned iMac products, Apple will more than likely also launch the iPhone SE 5G, which is the current-gen iPhone SE but 5G enabled, more powerful and equipped with better photography capabilities.

Similarly, Apple could also introduce a “Mac Mini Pro” introducing its latest M1 Pro and M1 Pro Max chips to the ultra-portable desktop computer. Last year also Apple introduced a bunch of new items like the AirTags, Apple TV 4K (2nd Gen), new iPhone 12 colour options and the iPad Pro during its Spring 2021 event held in April. With the pandemic in full force, expect the Apple Spring Event 2022 timeline to be similar.

Redmi Smart TV X43 launching in India on February 9

Redmi is all set to add a new TV to its X series portfolio, the Redmi Smart TV X43. Currently, the Redmi smart TV is available in 50, 55 and 65-inch screen sizes. The TV will launch on February 9 in India and there is no information about the price or availability of the TV. 

Redmi Smart TV X43 features and specifications

As per the teaser page on Xiaomi's website, the Redmi smart TV X43 will support a 4K resolution along with support for HDR 10 and Dolby Vision, similar to its larger siblings. The TV will come with support for Dolby Audio with 30W of sound output. The TV will run on the Android TV OS with Xiaomi’s own PatchWall UI overlaying it. 

We don't know the other specifications of the TV but we can expect it to support features found on its larger siblings like e-ARC and ALLM (Auto Low Latency Mode). For connectivity, we can expect to see the TV support three HDMI ports and two USB ports. 

 

Sorry, didn't hear you over the sound of all that e(X)tra (L)arge entertainment!  On 09.02.2022, witness the return of the #XLExperience: Bigger  Better  Larger than life  For more on the new #RedmiSmartTVX43 :https://t.co/UUM4O6t3h2 pic.twitter.com/vWZcXrL2IS

— Redmi India - Redmi Note 11S (@RedmiIndia) January 28, 2022

 

Currently, Redmi has the Redmi Smart TV 43 available in the 43-inch screen space and that comes with an FHD display. In our review of the Redmi Smart TV 43, we said, “The Redmi 43-inch FHD Smart TV is a good TV overall. Not supporting 4K and HDR is not a con in this case as its picture performance is very good in SDR and better than some 4K HDR TVs we’ve tested in this price range. It has good colour reproduction and the panel works well for movies, TV shows and games. The audio output is fine for everyday use, especially considering the price of the TV. The only downside to the TV is that the UI can get laggy. The Redmi 43-inch FHD SDR TV is a very good option for those that understand the drawbacks of a budget 4K HDR TV and who want a TV that can reproduce content well. The only downside to the TV is the stutter I faced in the UI and hope this is something Xiaomi can fix via an update”.

On the other hand, we also had a chance to review the 65-inch Redmi Smart TV X65. We believe the features of the Redmi smart TV X43 will mimic its elder siblings so you can expect the performance to be similar. In our review of the Redmi Smart TV X65 we said, “Xiaomi has an interesting offering with the Redmi TV X65 for Rs 57,999. What it brings with it is support for eARC for home theatres, ALLM for gaming and support for a variety of HDR formats. While the overall picture quality is good for the price, HDR 10+ content still has some issues. SDR content playback is good. The HDMI 2.1 setting is switched off by default and getting to it involves jumping through some hoops when connecting the PS5”.
