Zac Brown's Las Vegas residency will tell a 'personal story'
Zac Brown plans to tell a "very personal story" during his Las Vegas residency. The 46-year-old singer is set to perform at the Sphere in Las Vegas later this year, and Zac's show will explore the ups and downs of his life. He told People: "I'm telling my very personal story that I've never really told, of what drove me into music and how music's been there to save my life over and over again." Zac is convinced that his show will be bigger and better than anything he's done previously. He said: "It's going to be a wild ride coming to this show. "I've never been able to have the budget or the time to really create something that's this big before." Zac thinks the Sphere is the perfect location for his residency. The singer explained: "The last three or four years I've been trying to think of how we can create a spectacle that really elevates the experience that we can give to our fans. And I think back to when Pink Floyd came out with The Wall and the size and scale of their production that they came out with. What is that thing for us? What is our Wall? "Then I found out about the building at the Sphere and I went to visit when it was under construction. Seeing and hearing everything that they had, I was like, 'This is the place to do it. And this is one of those years to really bet on ourselves.'" Zac is already looking forward to performing in front of his fans in Las Vegas. He said: "I'm just an ordinary person, but you can do extraordinary things with an extraordinary effort, and all of the hardest things that you've ever been through end up serving you in some way. And sharing my story is really just about sharing more of that humanity and how we're all connected. "I love the title Love and Fear because you can base all your decisions based on one of those two things. You either move forward with love and get back up on the horse and keep going and persevere or you become a victim of something and kind of stuck in the mud."

Samsung MicroLED TVs could be in stores by the end of next year — here's what we know
Samsung is gearing up to bring MicroLED TVs into the mainstream with much cheaper models and easier installation, according to a new report by SamMobile. This report highlights information provided directly from Samsung, noting that it's about to tease some of these newer, smaller MicroLED models at IFA Berlin in September. These TVs could even officially go on sale as early as CES 2026 in January, but that's unconfirmed at this time. Tom's Guide has reached out for clarification on when and if more manageable Samsung MicroLED TVs are set to arrive and we'll update this story if and when we hear back. MicroLED TVs aren't dead after all, it seems. Their resurgence comes at an interesting time, but it does seem plausible given the many signs. Samsung's largely been the biggest player in the MicroLED TV realm. Last year Samsung expanded its MicroLED TV lineup to include (you guessed it) smaller sizes. However, right now, the smallest MicroLED TV you can buy from Samsung is the 89-inch (and $100,000) MS1, which requires professional mounting and installation. That's because it's made up of many smaller MicroLED screens, much like Samsung's The Wall, which debuted back in 2021. Now, it seems, Samsung wants to make MicroLED TVs smaller and easier to install with mounts and VESA wall configurations. At CES 2025, Samsung showed off a new 98-inch 8K RGB MicroLED TV. In their reporting of the new design, which was shown off behind closed doors at the "Samsung First Look" event, TechRadar was told that Samsung "hopes to launch a 4K version in the second half of 2025," citing that "it may come in smaller sizes." Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. This bodes well for the potential of smaller and cheaper MicroLED TVs on the near horizon. Samsung isn't alone in its efforts to popularize MicroLED technology, as Hisense also revealed its own 136-inch MicroLED TV in our exclusive first look earlier this year. To be clear, MicroLED TVs will most likely still have an exorbitant price attached to them, so don't throw out your OLED TV just yet.
