Thin Plasma Speaker?

This looks a little too crazy to be true. Apparently these super-slim speakers’s surface is made out of a thin film type of material similar to that of TFT-like displays, as in, you know, LCD TVs. I don’t think this is a REAL display (as in it lets you watch moving pictures on it), but…

Samsung’s LCD TV Comes Into The Light

One of the more common early complaints about LCD TVs, and even plasma displays, is that they don’t perform too well in daylight, and appear rather washed out. The technology has improved greatly since those early days, and it looks like Samsung has decided to capitalize on it by launching an exclusive line of LCD…

Damnit China, why did you guys have to throw another wrench into the mix of future DVD format. If you recall, China had plans for a next-gen DVD format two years ago with their enhanced versatile disc (EVD). That project was scrapped in a hurry and now the Chinese researchers are developing this new format.…

Digital TV Transition Moved to 2009

What’s wrong with this country? What, a digital TV isn’t good enough for you? DIsappointing, that’s what you are.
