Roxio CinemaNow will use NVIDIA technology

3D has been dead, and then revived, and then dead, and now being revived again. We’ve seen a number of new movies come out in 3D, most notably was Pixar’s UP which actually got very good reviews. More movies like that can only help this type of initiative from Nvidia and Roxio. Video Business Sonic is positioning 3D downloads as […]

Atlona HD-AiR wireless HDMI system hands on

2009-07-17atlona.jpg

Being able to stream wirelessly via an HDMI dongle, for less than $200? Sounds too good to be true, and unfortunately, it is. Connect the dongle via USB to your PC, and then the adapter connects via VGA or HDMI. Their video isn’t working right now, but I’d imagine it will show the terrible performance. Engadget On top of that, […]

Has anything been a longer tease than larger size OLED television panels? I mean, don’t get me wrong…people love a nice 15" tv, just not in their living room. I’m sure the technology is complicated, but 2012 sure seems a long way away for just 30". By then we’ll have even cheaper 60" TV’s.   Engadget Although LG had previously […]

This is dissapointing but really not all that surprising considering just how long it’s been since this was announced. No doubt the complexity and ever changing HDMI specification couldn’t have helped Belkin’s cause…nor the MSRP which was pretty absorbant. Hopefully this technology can be revived at a more reasonable cost.   C|Net The FlyWire was introduced at CES 2008. The […]

Mitsubishi TVs Coming With Free Vudu Boxes

If you can’t sell it straight up, I guess you can just give it away and people will use it? They are including $50 in credit to start out with. It’s interesting in a week that saw announcements of integrated technologies–like Samsung+Blockbuster–built into their TV sets how adding a separate unit for free will work for Mitsubishi. HighDefDigest In the […]

Ars reviews the BenQ Joybee GP1

So I doubt any real theater geeks getting excited about this, but I’m more impressed with the technology evolving to make something like this happen. If you’ve ever stood by one of the professional projectors, they are obscenely large and fairly loud, so hopefully this is a glimpse that a reduction in size while maintaining quality may be possible in […]
