Dreame’s robot arm obsession produced a next-gen RGB mini-LED TV with speakers that physically change their angle to follow you around your room and provide the best sound wherever you're sitting
Dreame's R8000F RGB mini-LED TV has moving speakers

Dreame has announced its RGB mini-LED TV is coming to the US
It boasts speakers that physically move to adjust the sound based on where you're sat
If you can say anything about Dreame, it’s that the smart home brand isn’t afraid to stick robotic moving arms anywhere it can justify it — and that now extends to TVs with the Innix Aura Mini LED R8000F. This unique TV has made its American debut at Dreame Next in San Francisco, and is set to actually become available in the future in the US.
Instead of a grabber reaching out from your screen, the robotic element is Dreame’s world-first dynamic sound engine. This 6.2.2-channel audio setup features mechanical, extendable, rotating speakers that adapt to the viewer’s position (using AI to decide how to mode, naturally) to create the best sound experience.
So no matter where you sit in your living room, or even if you decide to get up and sit elsewhere mid-movie, Dreame says you should get a standout sound performance with all positional effects recreated perfectly for you.

In addition to the sound innovation, Dreame promises the next-gen RGB mini-LED display can achieve incredible color accuracy, with the Dreamind Master AI processor optimizing visuals and audio in real time.

Now, we’ve already seen the impressive RGB mini-LED tech in other TVs — including Samsung's world-first 130-inch version at CES, and a great-looking demo from Panasonic — and so Dreame’s display is likely to be as visually dazzling as those, depending on how well its processing works.
While Dreame Next did have an R8000F TV for me to marvel at the hall, the crowds and high cluttered ceilings are not acoustically ideal when it comes to getting an early impression of TV sound. Nor were the sounds of vacuum cleaning from the demonstration happening literally right in front of the screen.
But we do know that physically moving and turning speakers in your space can improve audio performance, so the basic principle is certainly a valid one. Following the user to improve sound quality using virtualized changes in the sound is a principle used in the LG Sound Suite Immersive Suite 7 Pro setup, and as part of Trueplay tuning if you use a Sonos soundbar such as the Sonos Arc Ultra — but those don't actually move the speakers.
It all depends how effective the TV’s speaker movements are, how accurate the AI smart adjustments are, and also how the speakers handle multiple watchers spread around your room and not just a single person.
We’ll also need to test the TV out for ourselves to judge if it can hold a candle to a proper surround sound setup, and if it’s solid value for money, but we're really looking forward to trying it out.

Pricing and release date information aren’t yet available for the R8000F, but we’ll hopefully get our hands on this TV before the end of 2026.
Alongside the R8000F, Dreame gave us another look at its S100 TV.
The Aura mini LED display features "QLED+" technology to enhance its visual details, with its black crystal screen boasting anti glare and low reflections to help maintain visual clarity in bright conditions.
Sound-wise, while it doesn’t offer adjustable speakers like Dreame’s R8000F, the S100 does house a 4.1.2-channel sound system built into the screen, apparently.
It debuted at CES earlier this year and is set to land at some point before 2027 with a starting price of
