If you’re looking for a new HDTV to hook up to LG’s new BD300 Blu-ray player and Netflix streamer, the company is hoping you won’t look much further than their 47LG90 [pdf link].

Wireless streamers capable of handling high-definition video aren’t new, exactly, but they’re often proprietary systems intended by a manufacturer solely for their own displays. Belkin are bucking the trend, therefore, with their upcoming FlyWire wireless HD interface. Capable of transmitting full 1080p/24, it replaces an HDMI cable while still allowing HDCP devices to play properly.
As home entertainment PCs go, Acer’s new Aspire X1200 isn’t exactly going to win any awards for its looks, but considering it’s been cleverly shaved so as to be rack-friendly you’re probably not really meant to leave it out on show. Inside lurks an AMD Athlon X2 2850e processor, NVIDIA GeForce 8200 graphics and an [...]
