Epson Moviemate 33 All-In-One Projector and Screen.

No, the screen isn't built in, you dolt. The only things crammed into this box is the 480p res projector, a JVC DVD player, and tiny, impotent 10-watt stereo speakers. We like cubes of convenience, and this one ships with an 80-inch screen that the Moviemate can fill up from a little more than 6 feet away, in either 16:9 or 4:3 ratios. Even from strange angles, thanks to the set's vertical and horizontal lens shift. This update to the Moviemate line adds a VGA input and cables for component video in.

Latest by TurboFool: Power cord location's logical because we'll be staring at the "back" of it the whole time, what with the "front" pointed at the television and therefore closest to the source of any other cords. And if it's the Accolade Duet screen more »

CEDIA 2006: LG 60PC1D 60-inch Plasma with Integrated HD-DVR

LG was showing off this monstrosity at their booth at CEDIA. This giant, 60-inch plasma most notably includes an HD-DVR unit integrated into the plasma television. This is a step up from LG's already released 50-inch plasma with DVR. The HD-DVR has a 160 GB hard drive capable of storing 13 hours of HD programming or 63 hours of standard definition content. The TV has a 7,000:1 contrast ratio and integrated ATSC/NTSC/QAM tuners. More »

CEDIA 2006: Crestron TPMC-8X, TPMC-4X Touchpanel Media Centers

Crestron's booth was jam-packed with enough home-automation crap to shake a stick at (whatever the hell that means), but there were a couple little gadgets that stood out. These are the Isys i/O WiFi Touchpanel (left) and the Isys i/O Handheld WiFi TouchPanel (right). You need to understand that these aren't remotes that you can just stroll into Best Buy and purchase; they have to be used alongside Crestron's home automation systems that are dealer-installed. With that in mind, check out their semi-awesome remotes, after the jump. More »

CEDIA 2006: iHome Multi-Center Loves DRM

The Audio Design Associates' iHome Multi-Center is part music storage device, part media PC, part IP control server. Two 400gb RAID drives can hold music and hi-def video, and 750gb upgrades are on the horizon. The product's claim to fame, however, is its ability to remotely playback Apple AAC DRM-protected music from a PC, tablet or PDA through an Internet browser flash interface. ADA stands firm that they are the only company with this streaming technology. Not enough audio sharing? Try streaming Sirius, XM, standard and HD radio too. – Mark Wilson More »

CEDIA 2006: SED Where Are You?

This is by no means official, but according to my hours of Internet browsing, SED technology is not at CEDIA 2006. You may remember SED from our posts during CES this year. It's built upon the foundations of phosphorus televisions, but Canon and Toshiba basically packed all that technology into each pixel of a flat-panel. The result is supposed to be the best thing ever and we were supposed to have it by now. Dinner is getting cold and I've finished the wine. No, the flowers aren't helping and don't even think about kissing me. – Mark Wilson

CEDIA 2006: Ugly Speaker Lamps

LimeLight Audio is showing off their innovative, if a little ugly, speaker lamps - and supposedly they even sound "good" (whatever that means to the speaker world). They are 150-watt speakers blowing sound out of a 6.5-inch woofer and 1-inch tweeter in 360 degrees. Collect all six colors for your surround sound and tan while you watch movies. Now we just need someone, anyone, to come around, steal this idea and make my eyes better again. Seriously, I think they're bleeding, but I can't see. – Mark Wilson More »

CEDIA 2006: Hands-On with the Sony VPL-VW50 1080p Projector

Out of all of the projectors being featured here at CEDIA, surprisingly, this one from Sony has the most bang for the buck. We first mentioned the VPL-VW50 projector a few days ago, but I have since had some more hands-on time and I am very impressed. More »

CEDIA 2006: Sony STR-DA5200ES 7.1 Surround Sound A/V Receiver

Sony introduced the STR-DA5200ES 1080p-supported receiver at CEDIA this year. This receiver is the shizzle and more. It is even capable of upscaling any source to 1080p. So yes, you can upscale those home videos of you playing air-guitar in your diapers as a toddler to 1080p. More »

CEDIA 2006: NuVision Deep Black 52LEDLP

Aside from their innovation in mixing LED and DLP in their model numbers, NuVision has added a 52" LED-powered DLP set to their Deep Black line of televisions. While we've talked about this product before, we didn't mention the NuVision CEO had officially announced the release date to be by this end of this month - that's September for those not keeping up. We'll see if they can beat Samsung's version to the market that has been delayed from their initial May 2006 release date. Let's get LEDs in these DLPs ASAP before we all run out of caps. And anyone actually at CEDIA, let us know what you think about the picture quality. – Mark Wilson More »

CEDIA 2006: Pioneer BDP-HD1 Elite Blu-ray Player Also Streams

Pioneer's first Blue-ray player is late to the game, but adds in movie, picture, and music playback from a USB stick, PC, or DLNA compatible device (by ethernet.) That's to the usual DVD upscaling, and of course, 1080p Blu-ray disc love. Since it's their Elite line, we can be sure of three things: Top line parts inside, a robotic user interface, and a price tag that'll hurt more than a titty twister by a circus strongman. More »

CEDIA 2006: Hitachi's PD8700, Small but Mighty Plasma

Hitachi announced their new 42-inch 1080p plasma television. It's world's first 1080p plasma of that size (LCDs of those specs have been around for some time), and is using ALiS (Alternate Lighting of Surfaces) technology to enhance the brightness, sharpness and longevity. Can you tell 720p from 1080p in this size? It's probably tough, but then again, we'll take native high def on a 3-day-with-no-bath hooker if you give us the chance. This model also has a 60" big brother, but other than what we assume is beautiful picture quality, he has no real claim to fame. We just find it refreshing to see not everyone has given up on plasma - yet. – Mark Wilson More »
