Thomson Go Collection opens up nomadism to the image

Until now, the concept of portable audio-video equipment has primarily focused on sound, for example through Bluetooth speakers capable of playing music anywhere, or headphones for enjoying favorite tracks alone or with a friend. With its Go Collection range, Thomson is extending portable audio-visual technology to include video.
At a time when accessing favorite content freely and without constraints is becoming commonplace, why does this trend apply almost exclusively to music? While it has become commonplace, thanks in particular to the success of Bluetooth speakers and headphones, to be able to listen to favorite tracks anywhere without limitations thanks to their complete autonomy, it must be said that in this area, video is the poor relation. Certainly, smartphones do offer video playback, but their small screens are hardly suitable when it comes to sharing them during a gathering with friends, or simply enjoying them privately with a comfortable image size. Furthermore, even at home, the immobility of the family television can also be an obstacle to accessing favorite content. This is especially true if the program is being watched while performing a household activity such as preparing a family meal or fetching something. What could be more frustrating than missing key moments in a police investigation or scoring a goal due to an emergency intervention on a pot that's about to boil over? Thomson Go, an expectation for new uses. Furthermore, even without the real question of nomadism, living habits are evolving, particularly among younger generations. For example, while a superb 65" diagonal television will sit comfortably in a spacious living room, the same cannot be said for a studio apartment of just a few dozen square meters, where it will struggle to find a place. Yet, having an image close to that of a movie theater, without having to sacrifice one's living space, meets the expectations of a growing number of consumers. It is by analyzing both user expectations and the constraints imposed by the technical choices of each solution that Thomson designed its Go Collection range. A new family of completely autonomous devices specifically designed to offer a spectacular image, even when on the go. Thomson Go: From Mobility to Nomadism. After the successful launch of the 32" (81 cm) Go TV (32HA4M44) and the Go Plus Touch (32UE5M45) touchscreen models, Thomson is expanding its range with the new Go Plus Pro. This model is also Mobile, self-contained, and equipped with a 27-inch touchscreen, the Go Plus Pro boasts a sophisticated, rounded design that integrates a camera for video conferencing and a discreet subwoofer positioned above the base. Running on Android 14, the Go Plus Pro is mounted on wheels and offers 4 hours of battery life. This makes it suitable for a wide range of professional activities, including video conferencing, allowing it to be moved from one office to another or around a meeting room without interrupting discussions. Even more so for home use, thanks to its touchscreen functionality and adjustable screen for viewing documents in landscape or portrait mode (see photo below), the Go Plus Pro proves its worth. It effectively replaces a tablet for direct web access or displaying files archived on a portable hard drive, for example, or even a NAS server. But above all, the ability to simultaneously display your favorite series and social networks, or even a website, on the screen (split screen or multi-window) delights all users, from the youngest to the oldest. No more juggling between the TV screen and your smartphone/tablet; everything is available in one place. What's more, its elegant design combined with an integrated subwoofer offers optimal user comfort. Thomson Go Collection, open-air cinema. The essential device for combining a very large image with a small footprint remains, without a doubt, the video projector. Moreover, a simple white wall, or even a sheet, is usually all that's needed to serve as a screen. However, its size and the need for a mains connection or calibration with the screen often limit its use, confining it mostly to indoors. Yet, projecting a movie from your last vacation with friends during a beach get-together, or enjoying your favorite series in a forest clearing while camping, would certainly be appealing. This is a typically nomadic use case that Thomson perfectly addresses by offering two video projectors capable of handling even the most extreme nomadic situations, provided a white and relatively flat surface is available. The Thomson Go Project Vega, the small, ultra-portable video projector: Easy to carry, roughly the size of a can, the ultra-compact and completely self-contained Thomson Go Project Vega can display an image with a diagonal of up to 2.50 m in Full HD resolution. Its internal battery provides two hours of battery life. Finally, its autofocus system combined with automatic keystone correction simplifies setup, which takes only a few dozen seconds. Thomson Go Project Sirius, the big brother. Slightly bulkier, but more powerful, the Thomson Go Project Sirius uses a triple laser light source that gives it a brightness of up to 600 lumens. In addition, its ultra-short-throw lens allows it to project a 2.50 m diagonal image with a throw distance of only 43 cm from the screen. It also features an internal battery that guarantees 90 minutes of battery life. Thomson Go projectors, streaming and VOD in all circumstances. Finally, these projectors are compatible with Google TV. A unique feature that gives them access to over 400,000 films, series, and other content with more than 10,000 apps, including Netflix, Disney+, YouTube, and Prime Video. All of the owner's content is thus grouped within a single, intelligent interface. Thomson Go Cast, the Google TV addition. Finally, it's not uncommon to find an older-generation television in a bedroom or vacation home. While it may still perfectly receive channels transmitted via the DTT network, its technological obsolescence prevents it from accessing the digital streams of streaming services. To give it a new lease on life, Thomson designed the Go Cast. This mini-stick, which connects to the TV's HDMI port and is powered by it, allows access to the services offered by Google TV and all of its apps. A remote control is included to ensure the Go Cast is easy to use and ergonomic. It even allows the TV to stream video content stored on a smartphone. Of course, the Thomson Go Cast connected to a computer monitor offers the same capabilities. Thomson Go Collection for the liberation of the image. In short, the new Thomson Go Collection is designed for people on the go, both outside and inside the home. From the children's room to the kitchen, from the living room to the bathroom, or even on the patio or in the garden, Thomson Go devices provide simple entertainment that frees the user from any constraints. Want to follow a recipe on YouTube while cooking? Fancy watching a Netflix series while relaxing in the bath? Participate in a yoga session on the patio at sunrise? Do all of that at the same time? The Go range meets the evolving needs of users by offering a solution that transforms every corner of their home into a connected space, equipped with a screen suited to every situation. "Smartphones have changed the way we live; it's time for televisions to do the same," says Nicole Pacheiner, Marketing Director at Thomson. "The Go range is synonymous with freedom and flexibility.

After the liberation of sound, we are now witnessing the liberation of the image.
