Photos and descriptions can be uploaded simply, and members will be able to offer
their own unwanted items in exchange. The app, which was co-founded by brothers Mihai and
Alex Draghici, is inspired by the television show Barter Kings and offers users a "clean

announced the arrival of its 100-inch (diagonal) class Laser TV, which is to
see its first public demonstration at next month's 2013 International CES.
The LG "HECTO" Laser TV, which boasts both Digital and Smart TV capabilities, creates
a top-level home theatre experience using an innovative projector system which requires
the lens to be placed a mere two feet away from the screen, either on the floor or
ceiling. The 1080p Full HD resolution combined with a 1,000,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio
is just as clear in lighter rooms as it is in darkened ones.
The Laser TV also boasts integration with premium content providers such as Netflix
and YouTube thanks to its built-in Wi-Fi, as well as smart connectivity that allows users
to stream content from compatible devices.
Elsewhere in relation to CES 2013, a leading global provider

extensive knowledge in reviewing similar products.
