Samsung have announced mass production of a cheaper LCD panel, however it won’t make much difference to the HDTVs on offer at your local Best Buy. The economical LCD panel is built upon the company’s new Basic Digital Information Display (B-DID) technology, and is intended exclusively for digital signage, advertising and information boards.
ViewSonic has announced new ultra-thin bezel CD4230 commercial LCD display and VTMS2431 multimedia LCD HDTV, at Digital Signage Expo today, to accompany its open frame digital signage networked display and media players.
The enthusiasm for 3D ads before the big game really got to the millions of home viewers. I actually went though three local food stores to get my own 3D glasses. So there we were, a roomful of Super Bowl fans stood in front of a 106-inch projector-powered HD screen, dorky looking paper framed 3D glasses plastered to our faces, waiting patiently for the 3rd-dimension broadcast. The 3D Monsters and Sobe lizards came on as soon as the game halted for the halftime break; but they were a huge disappointment.
The cost of the 30-second spot for Super Bowl commercial has been skyrocketing, cost as much as 3 million dollars now on the upcoming big Sunday game; and apparently 100k per second appearance is way too steep for Miller High Life, the company is pitching one second commercial to be aired during the Super Bowl XL III break.
