Hollywood is propagating 3D on the big screen, and home theater aficionados will not be left behind. LG’s CF3D projector is 3D capable. If you have 6-figures invested in your HT system and demand bigger picture than 3D HDTVs are offering, then LG’s CF3D can fill up your wall. More »


I love the idea of 3D, especially for sports, but in all of the 3D hype, Hollywood and entertainment corporations want us to forget the sobering truth that mediocre music, television, and movies are still going to be mediocre even if they are in 3D. More »


Put aside the $2900 package price for a moment and just consider the technology itself: only a handful of movies and shows are in 3D, and among them, about two or three are actually good, and none of them, except Monsters versus Aliens, is even for sale. More »


Samsung’s “Super” AMOLED screens promise to be brighter than normal AMOLED and, more importantly, have touch sensors built into the panel instead of added on as an additional layer like most LCDs and all AMOLED screens. More »


On March 10 (that’s right! WEDNESDAY!), over 200 Best Buy stores across the United States will be launching their 3D television lines. More »


Samsung’s LD220G is a unique monitor. It uses Samsung’s UbiSync to connect a computer to it by USB, making the LapLift a transportable LCD, secondary display for laptops. At $240, the LapLift is affordable enough for frequent laptop warriors who would like multiple display set-ups. More »


DisplayMate president Dr. Raymond M. Soneira has conducted a scientific experiment in which he claims that Apple’s iPhone 3G-S LCD is better than the much touted AMOLED display on Google’s Nexus One. OLED is inherently a far superior technology than LCD, but execution is crucial. Just because one form of technology is more advanced, it does not mean that everything that uses it will exceed the performance of an inferior approach. For example, not every rear-wheel-drive car will out-handle every front-wheel-drive auto. More »


“The year of 3D TV and movies” means that the technology will spill over to other devices too, including gaming and LCD displays. Acer’s GD235HZ is a 3D monitor that has a lightning fast 120Hz refresh rate that hardcore gamers will dig. More »

With all the hype that’s been put out for 3D, it looks like Alienware is hopping on the bandwagon, releasing their first ever 3D monitor (OptX AW2310). This beautiful 23″ monitor is sleek and sexy, but will cost you $469. It doesn’t stop there though, because an additional 3D kit will cost you $200 extra. More »


From Wirebot:

Now I know this is going to come off a little braggy, but that’s not my intention whatsoever. The idea is to get angry at the television manufactures, not me. So, here it goes. 2 years ago I got a 46” Samsung LCD for Christmas. Great, right? Well yeah, it was up until this year. This year I’ve ran into a little problem called, your-giant-TV-sucks-now. Sucks may be a bit of an exaggeration, but roll with. My setup consists of a cable box, PS3, Xbox 360, and a WD TV. Can you see my problem yet? Well if you can’t, it’s that I need 4 HDMI inputs and only have 2. Continue after the jump to here me complain some more. More »


It is estimated that up to about 10% of the population cannot see the so-called 3D images that companies have been boasting about at this year’s Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. CNN correspondent Rafe Needleman investigated the matter, asking about the relatively large population of viewers that would not be able to view the 3D technology. Needleman notes that oddly, “none of the HDTV manufacturing companies I reached out to could provide a direct comment on this topic” (CNN.com). More »


Continued from part one… Although CCFL backlit LCDs cannot match plasma for black levels, the best LED LCDs have some tricks to compensate for the technology’s inherent weakness. Local dimming allows LEDs to adjust individual lights (which illuminate parts of the screen rather than the entirety of it) to different levels of brightness. Side-lit LEDs and CCFL bulbs cannot accomplish this and suffer poorer blacks and lower contrast as a result. Still, ignoring the numbers, I purport that the best plasma displays produce deeper and better blacks than the best LED LCDs. More »


Homer Simpson is sitting on his couch intensely watching football on his new Samsung C9000 HD TV. Suddenly, he has the urge for a beer. No one’s home to get it for him, but Homer isn’t afraid of missing any of the game when he leaves the room to get it himself, and neither should you. That’s because the C9000 comes equipped with an innovative new remote that is sure to boost TV-watching convenience for all you “Homer Simpsons” out there. More »
