    A note to B&O. 1985 called. Unfortunately they called your cell and since you were spending too much time and effort designing this thing you didn't answer.
    Next time, answer. #bangolufsenbeocom5

    B&O designs are still 90's futuristic, and apparently so is there technology. I could build this myself for under $5.

    Although its most compelling feature is clearly that it doubles as a Festivus pole.

    I have said it before and I will say it again. B&O can do no wrong with me. I can't afford much of it, it isn't always the best tech available, but I will be damned if they don't aim for the fence every time they do something.



    They design, manufacture, and sell the gizmo version of show / concept cars.

    @Bigbadbikernerd: That's cool. I don't get to worked up if people disagree with me. In this case though, I would certainly be very happy to have this on my desk at work, though probably not for the asking price. I love the minimalist design, and think it looks great.

    Check out the link at the end of the post. The photos depict this set and six additional B&O speakers arranged in a room with one glass wall, two formed concrete walls and a hardwood floor. I bet that sounds AWESOME!!!


    And I bet it's all hooked up with hyper-transitive cables, hand wound by blind, one-handed oracles from the lands just beyond Terabithia, with de-ionized strands of the finest Kryptonian neutrinos.


    I actually own some B&O equipment, but those photos are ridiculous.

    I'm not going to lie, I think B+O peaked for me in the early 90's with that cd player that mounted on the wall and opened when you put your hand near it. Perfection. I could have played with it at Sharper Image all afternoon. And somehow back then, seemed worth the extra money. These days? Eh.

    @Hiroak: Indeed this TV is perfectly suited to the homeless. The video does not show how the screen rises up another foot then flips down into a horizontal position to serve as a shelter for you and your shopping cart.

    what's the difference between capacitive and resistive?

    @nikkitoria: Resistive touch screen uses multiple layers of thin material. As the pressure applied compresses the layers they register the central point of incresed resistance (voltage differential) and the software determines the X/Y coordinates. Pros include lower cost and generally higher durability, cons include potentially less visibility (as more light has to pass through more layers of material), and somewhat lower accuracy.


    Capacitative touch screen uses a single layer of material that conducts an electrical field across the screen. They require almost no contact as they don't register to pressure, but instead react to capacitance interference from your fingertip (hence they don't work as well, or at all, with a stylus, or while wearing gloves). However, they register multitouch if the controller supports it. They permit more visible light through the surface, and have extremely accurate X/Y positioning, but are generally more expensive to manufacture and require a somewhat more advanced controller to interpret the touch data.
