We spent some time auditioning Parasound/Atlantic Technology’s high-end stereo channel setup at the Venetian during CES 2010. We didn’t go there just for the sake of John Curl’s newest Halo-series JC3 Phono Preamp, with its heavy, triple-shielded 2-U chassis, but to check out Atlantic Technology’s AT-1 high performance speakers with their potentially revolutionary H-PAS bass technology.
NVIDIA’s Tegra 2 isn’t just to be found in HD-capable mediaplayers; it’s also going to spearhead the company’s push into the smartbook segment. The Mobinnova Beam was perhaps the most eye-catching smartbook around back when the platform was announced in June 2009, and we stopped by NVIDIA’s stand to try out the latest version. Check out our hands-on video after the cut.
Boxee have already developed something of a cult following with the software incarnation of their media player, and with the unveil at CES 2010 of the standalone Boxee Box by D-Link we’ve a feeling they’re about to go mainstream. We stopped by to check out the latest version of Boxee, together with the Tegra 2 packing hardware D-Link have put together for it; you can see our hands on video after the cut.
After exclusively telling us yesterday that a Full HD 3D unibody consumer projector is “coming next” in their line-up, JVC asked if we wanted to try out the 3D experience they currently have on offer at CES 2010. Screenings are being shown in a specially-constructed dark theater room which seats around 40-50 people, and the hardware on offer included a JVC D-ILA HD990, a single JVC DLA-RS4000 4K as well as a pair of RS4000 4k for the 3D footage. Check out our impressions after the cut.
Consider knocking down a non-load-bearing wall (though maybe remortgage your house first): Panasonic have brought an “ultra-large” 152-inch plasma HDTV to CES 2010. The display isn’t just special because of its whopping 4K x 2K resolution but because it’ll also show Full HD 3D as long as you’re wearing the proper glasses. We stopped by Panasonic’s booth to check the monster out.
LG’s second Android smartphone, the LG GT540, crept out at CES 2010 with less bang, more whimper, which is a shame since we’ve been waiting on the touchscreen handset since its existence first leaked back in November 2009. With scant details buried in a Korean-language press release, we stopped by the LG booth to find out more.
LG's 2010 LCD range wasn't the only place 3D cropped up from the company. SlashGear stopped by to take a look at their new 3D projector, the LG CF3D, which can produce a 3D image from a single projector rather than requiring separate left and right images. What's really interesting is the price: unlike previous systems, LG's have a consumer focus and will be priced at around $10,000.

SlashGear swung by photography accessory experts NEXTO earlier today to see their latest portable storage device for DSLR pros. The NEXTO NVS2500 and NVS2700 both pack large internal storage – starting at 160GB and ramping up to 500GB; 2TB drives are theoretically supported – and have 2.7-inch LCD displays which not only show the progress of sucking RAW, JPEG and video footage from your camera memory cards, but can preview those photos and footage too.

Earlier this year we covered the launch of HP’s latest Intel Nehalem-based workstations, and soon enough HP had a Z400 test unit for us to try out. The entry-point to the new range, the Z400 misses out on some of the more innovative design features of its bigger siblings, but arguably the most important thing – the Xeon processor – is there front and center. Read on for our benchmarks and impressions.
AOC are well known for their reasonably priced monitors, and with the 2230Fh they threw eye-catching design into the ring too. A 22-inch widescreen LCD display, running at 1680 x 1050, the 2230Fh pairs a low $299 MRSP with a surprising array of connectivity. Is it a true bargain though, or just a load of marketing boasts? Read on for the full SlashGear review.

Wow, I never thought that would happen and I think I just wet my pants. Canon has today revealed a big upgrade to EOS DLSR 5D Mark II, unleashing the long-awaited manual controls on video capture mode! The new firmware, to be released next week, will permit manual adjustments on aperture, ISO as well as shutter speed when recording movie – a huge deal for DSLR video fanatics if you ask me.
