I have enjoyed several 3D movies in theaters this summer with my kids. 3D films have come a long way in the last few years from films that didn’t look particularly 3D to very realistic and enjoyable films today. I am especially looking forward to getting 3D films and TV in the home. Panasonic announced that it has developed a new 3D 50-inch plasma screen.
Hitachi have unveiled five new HDTVs, each of which includes a 500GB hard-drive for local storage of recorded programming or downloaded content. The sets – three plasmas, ranging from 42- to 50-inches, and two LCDs, at 37- and 42-inches – slot into the company’s endearingly-titled Wooo TV range, and all support Full HD 1080p.
Panasonic Japan have announced a pair of new plasma HDTVs, the 65-inch TH-P65V1 and the 58-inch TH-P58V1. Each features Panasonic’s latest neoPDP panel technology with a contrast ratio of 40,000:1, together with the usual VIERACast streaming media and internet widgets.
Panasonic debuted an 85-inch 1080p plasma screen yesterday at the Infocomm show and this thing is every bit as big as it sounds. Based on NeoPDP tech, this display was designed for use as an electronic billboard and a means for presentations.
We’ve had some much-anticipated and long-awaited gadgets land at SlashGear this week, so we’ve gone overboard with unboxing videos and hands-on galleries. The Verizon MiFi 2200 only had its official announcement earlier this week, but we’ve been waiting for the Novatel EVDO-hotspot for so long you must forgive us some excitement. Meanwhile the Vodafone HTC Magic has the honor of being only the second Android phone to the market, while the Tonium Pacemaker manages to offer something unique in a sea of PMPs.
Wow! This thing is huge! Shinoda Plasma Corporation has decided to continue to push the plasma format and one up themselves with their latest prototype, that is really rather impressive. Measuring in at 145-inches, this display is actually six separate displays combined to create one big screen.
Samsung have taken the wraps off of a vast, super-skinny plasma HDTV, the Samsung 850 PAVV. Measuring a scant 29mm thick – enough for Samsung to describe it as “finger slim” – the 50-inch 850 PAVV PDP TV can cope with full HD 1080p content, as well as having a USB 2.0 port for DivX video playback.
Somebody over at Hitachi has been busy. No seriously. Like, they must be pulling all-nighters, or something because the company just announced 11–count ‘em–11 new HDTV models that are set to be released soon.
Samsung announced this morning that they would be revealing their 2009 HDTV pricing next Tuesday, but they’ve been pipped to the post by HDGuru. No single leak or source collated all these figures – and the line-up is in excess of 45 models – it’s been a labor of research love, together with some technology advice thrown in for good measure.
After confirming back in February that they would be exiting the plasma TV business this year, Pioneer have outlined their release and withdrawal schedule. Pioneer will launch four more Kuro plasma HDTVs from April 1st, but after a combined 3,000 units production will cease.
