It’s been a year and a half since we first saw a TV using Luminus Devices’ PhlatLight LED back-lighting system, and it’s taken that long for the technology to reach brightness levels sufficient for a big-screen picture. Now, courtesy of some collaboration with Texas Instruments, PhlatLight technology is set for inclusion in a number of [...]
If you’re serious about home theatre, you’ve probably skipped past the whole “LCD or plasma?” debate and instead started browsing through projector catalogues. Sound & Vision have been taking a look at Mitsubishi’s HC6000 projector - capable of 1080p high-definition and of taking 24p input and frame-doubling it to luscious 48p - and come away [...]
I can’t get enough of these DIY multitouch projects, in fact I’m hoping that the more companies like Microsoft see that there’s demand for large-scale, low-cost touchscreen technology, the more likely it is that they’ll release products that the less DIY-able among us (myself included) can tackle.

Now that’s a multi-touch table! It measures in at 67×50 inches, which according to Mr. Pythagoras is about 83.6 inches diagonally, that’s big.
InFocus presented CES with quite a few projects: the IN15, IN35, IN35W, IN37 and IN82. The IN15 is as bright as most fixed installation conference room projectors and is small and compact. It gives 2500 ANSI lumens and has a zoom ratio of 1.4:1-2.0:1. It weighs less 4lbs and is available now [...]
Movies are so much better when projected on a wall or screen. I don’t care what anyone else says I know this to be true. Especially if it’s a scary movie! Projection is the ultimate movie experience.
The Portable PC Theater wants to give you that experience. It comes with everything you [...]
The Space Projection Alarm Clock is bound to be a hit with not only children but also all those harboring an inner Trekkie. The clock comes with an amber colored LED display and if you’re like me, you can always use another LED light! However, this clock is not limited to normal clock standards. This [...]
