I wonder if the new AppleTV inspired this? I doubt it, but you have to appreciate the fact of Yahoo! taking a 30% cut in sales. I think the widgets are pretty cool, but am curious to see how this maps out. Applications currently offered for Connected TV sets are given away free. The programs can generate money from users […]

Guess this is the day for reviews. I wonder if the extra 5 inches will satisfy someone like Swoon, or if it’s still too small? This one is even more affordable, and an LCD, just under $1500. Looks pretty slick. With a high quality HD signal, the video performance was consistently excellent. Vivid and natural come to mind. The quality […]

Here’s a review on a pretty nifty 50″ plasma from Samsung, who seem to have a million TV’s on the market (have you been to Best Buy lately?). But nonetheless, they provide one for everyone’s needs, in this case a 3D TV for less than $2000 is pretty solid deal. Although, no glasses included…pretty weak. For anyone looking to jump […]

Here’s a review of a Samsung branded Plasma by the guys at TweakNews. I haven’t had a chance to read it, but I think everyone knows I’m on the plasma bandwagon by now.  With every new model year, I grit my teeth and wince while viewing my favorite programming hoping and praying that a company hasn’t screwed up a great […]

You might have heard by now of the Wireless HDMI technology that Intel has started building within some of their laptops, and here are two options for other laptops or systems that you would want connected to your HTPC. The specs mention HDMI 1.3 satisfaction, but from what I can tell the review did not test the transmission of the […]

Here’s an awesomely detailed review of the new GT series of Panasonic plasma televisions which incorporate 3D without the high end price tag of the awesome VT series. Looks like Panasonic has themselves another winner here. In fact GT25/GT20 is so close to VT25/VT20 in terms of 3D picture quality and crosstalk that I can’t really point out any relevant […]

Did you forget CEDIA has been going on this week? I almost did, as press has been somewhat quiet on that front. But that’s not to say the show isn’t going on…and no surprise that 3D is on most manufaturer’s minds. Here’s a good run down. Walking around LG it was clear that they were all about 3D. From a […]

Paying $3000 for a TV is a big investment, and in plasma there’s basically few competitors to the amazing VT series of Panasonic plasmas. Samsung however looks to have provided a solid competitor with this model, at least worth considering in that price range.   The PN58C8000 produces outstanding 2D images. The internal signal processing for 480i and 1080i signals […]

Gotta love a new technology like 3D, which lets manufacturers play around some with specs and offer lots of firsts…with lots of caveats. This one is particularly glaring considering just the overall lack of 3D content versus how many Blu-rays in 1080p you probably own. But still….less than $1k for 3D, not awful. The downside is that you’re looking at […]

I’m not exactly sure what the big deal is here, given that Monster products normally cost a ton anyways, these glasses would probably cost as much as the actual official ones you would buy from your TV manufacturer.   Details are just trickling in, but it appears that Monster Cable is launching a line of 3D glasses that require no […]
