Samsung and Hoyts team up to launch Onyx – Australia's first LED cinema screen

Since the introduction of cinema roughly 130 years ago, audiences have gathered in large theatres to watch moving images projected from the back of the room onto a large white (often silver-backed) screen up front. 

And while projection technology has moved from celluloid to digital in recent years, there's only so far projected light will take you in terms of colour accuracy and contrast.

Now, Samsung has partnered with Hoyts to bring Australians the next evolution in cinema technology, announcing the launch of the country's first Onyx Cinema LED screen in Sydney.

What is Onyx Cinema LED?

The Onyx screen is essentially a huge 4K LED display that's 14-metres in size. That
means it carries all of the technology's inherent benefits, such as exceptional brightness, increased colour accuracy and deep blacks.

The screen can also display true HDR images and boasts a peak brightness level of 146fL, which Samsung says is "nearly 10 times greater" than what standard projector technologies are capable of.

Samsung's put together a little video that goes into greater detail about the difference between Onyx technology and standard cinema projection, which you can view below: 

When and where?

You won't have to wait long to check the new screen tech out for yourself, either – Hoyts' Onyx Cinema LED screen is now open to the public at the theatre chain's flagship location in Moore Park's Entertainment Quarter, while a second location is set to open at Hoyts Highpoint in Melbourne next month. 

Aussies can already book tickets to Onyx sessions in Sydney today, and best of all, standard ticket prices apply – meaning you won't (yet) have to pay a premium to experience the new cinema tech. (There's no word on whether that might change in future, but given modern cinemas' penchant for charging extra for anything slightly out of the ordinary, we wouldn't be surprised.)

Australia's locations join a number of other Samsung Onyx screens across the globe, including Los Angeles, Beijing and Zurich.

What Is the “System Volume Information” Folder, and Can I Delete It?

What Is the “System Volume Information” Folder, and Can I Delete It? On every Windows drive—even external USB drives—you’ll find a “System Volume Information” folder. You’ll only see it if you have Windows set to  show hidden files and folders , but it’s always there. So what is it for? Why Can’t I Open the Folder? On drives formatted with  the NTFS file system , this folder’s permissions are set to prevent everyone from accessing the folder, even users with Administrator permissions. Double-click the folder and you’ll see an error message saying the “location is not available” and “access is denied.” This is normal. That’s because Windows uses this folder for certain system-level features. The permissions are set to prevent users—and programs without the appropriate permissions—from tampering with the files inside and interfering with important system functions. What Is It For? Among other things, Windows stores  System Restore ...

With no good Black Friday iPad deals, it's time to turn to the Android side , DigiTech Geeks Mobile Computing News

With no good Black Friday iPad deals, it's time to turn to the Android side The Black Friday iPad deals are never any good, but in 2021 they've somehow failed to clear that laughably low bar, and we've still been surprised by just how poor the Apple-tablet discounts are this year. Seriously – we're talking just $50 / £50 off super-power iPad Pros , and sometimes no discounts at all on entry-level or Mini tablets – and this outlook very likely won't change for the Cyber Monday iPad deals . If you were wanting to buy a new iPad in the Black Friday sales, it might seem like you're plum out of luck. (Not in the US or UK? Scroll down for deals in your region). It's not all bad news though, not as long as you're willing to try new things (and aren't committed to the Apple ecosystem already). That's because there are a few worthy tablet Black Friday deals on Android slates that make them much, much more tempting than an iPad. Sure, sure, sure: i...
