Adam Gunderson — Tue, 03 Mar 2009 19:13:26 +0000

Truly a marvel of modern technology, the Philips Cinema 21:9 high definition television is unlike anything the world has seen.

Philips’ new product smashes the competition with a whopping 21:9 aspect ratio offering a much higher resolution and more realistic images. The Cinema also has a built in feature to detect ambient light and adjust the brightness, contrast, and color saturation to provide the best possible performance in any room. Retailing at US $5,044, the new Philips Cinema is a must have for any television enthusiast.

Yamaha POLYPHONY YRS-1000 Theater Rack

Adam Gunderson — Tue, 25 Nov 2008 11:20:38 +0000

This is not a TV stand that you will find at IKEA (actually you’re unlikely to find this anywhere outside of Japan). Yamaha is jumping on the all-in-one tv stand bandwagon with their Polyphony YRS-1000. Basically its a central hub that efficiently manages all your components. The YRS-1000 is compatible with 46 types of flat-panel TVs and features; two HDMI units, built-in subwoofer, and 5.1 channel playback. So if you’re in the market for surround-sound and a tv stand, you might as well mix them together and get this. Its available now (Japan only) and is a great space saver for smaller living rooms.

Mitsubishi won the race to the market by being the first to release a laser projection television. The LaserVue series will come in 65-inch and 73-inch varieties, both 1080p. They are built to preform better than plasma and LCD, they will also be prices about the same. Some people may not be so happy having to pay the same price for a 10-inch thick TV that they would for one that is less than half the size. Mitsubishi has not released any price or spec info yet.

This is not your mothers average Bravia. The GXDL52H1 is a 52-inch LCD display and native 1920 x 1080 resolution. It is specially designed for business use and features: a robust, dust resistant design without ventilation holes (IP30 certification) and a highly innovative heat management based on internal air circulation.

Adam Gunderson — Sat, 01 Sep 2007 13:45:33 +0000

The first generation of ambient light TVs were ok but the were still severely lacking. Philips has officially announced their next product in their lineup of ambient lighting TVs. The 42-inch Philips Aurea sets incorporate the lighting directly into the frame, instead of using the previous method of a glass frame around the set. They will be 1080p and have a 3ms response time. In addition, there’s “four trillion colors” and three HDMI 1.3 inputs. On the audio side, it has 26 speakers embedded inside, in a combination of 24 front mini drivers and 2 subwoofer/mid speaker boxes. As far as contrast and brightness goes, it’s a 550cd/m2 display with a true and dynamic contrast ratio of 1200/8000 to one. Not a very impressive contrast ratio, however the ambient light makes up for it. It runs on the Perfect Pixel HD Engine picture quality platform. There is no word on price yet.
