Toshiba recently announced the new TDP-PX10U projector and although it will not really fit in a home theater system it should be quite a bargain for a lot of business types out there. We are talking about a nifty gadget that only weighs 2.9 pounds and its price tag is $1,000. If you decide to purchase it you will get the standard 1,024 X 768 resolution and a 2,000:1 contrast ratio. Other features of the TDP-PX10U include 2,200 ANSI lumens, a USB port (perfect for a flash drive if you want to do any presentation without a personal computer or laptop) and a built in 2 W speaker (not much but better than nothing). One thing that is quite interesting is the fact that the company has promised a 50% increase in the brightness of colors achieved. This is due to their trademark BrilliantColor DLP technology and Toshiba is also bragging about the projector’s automatic setup feature. It is said that this automatic setup procedure will aid in giving the user clear images even “in the most unforgiving presentation situation”. On the whole the Toshiba TDP-PX10U does sound like a great device that might be enough for your presentation needs.

We have seen efforts from LG, Philips, Hitachi and Sharp announcing some pretty interesting ultra thin LCDs and we wanted to see when Samsung is going to do something similar. We did not have to wait for long as Samsung just announced the new 0.39 inch thin, 40 inch based LED backlit HD LCD TV, which comes and covers 92 percent of the NTSC color gamut and consumes just around 90 watts of power. We are talking here about a very nice looking 1080p LCD TV and all we can really think about is: wow that is thin! We still do not know anything about an official name, price or shipping date. On the other hand, this new HD LCD TV from Samsung is going to be profiled at the FPD International in Japan.

The CEDIA show marked the announcement of two new additions to Toshiba’s premium REGZA LCD HDTV line. They are of course 1080p Full HD models and have the latest high quality video and audio features offered by the company and what was marketed as the “World’s Thinnest LCD TV Bezel” (it only measures less than a inch wide). The two models will be of 40 and 46 inches, diagonally measured. Scott Ramirez, vice president of marketing with Toshiba declared:

“Our new REGZA LCD line has already been a huge success. We have set new standards in picture quality with our PixelPure(TM) 14-bit internal processing, and we will now set a new standard in design with the world’s thinnest LCD TV bezel. These premium models are not only strikingly beautiful; they also allow you to put a larger TV in a smaller space. In fact, our new 40″ SNB model fits in the space of a standard Toshiba 37″, which means that many consumers can now fit a 40″ model into their existing home theater furniture.”

The duo will have enough features to make it popular among users. We have a “high-gloss black with chrome trim” design that is completed with a xvYCC signal support, an uber-slim SoundStrip2 speaker system, DynaLight backlighting, three HDMI inputs with CE-Link control and an interesting price. Both of the REGZA Super Narrow Bezel models will appear in stores this month. The 40RF350U costs $1,899.99 and the 46RF35OU ads another $600 to the price.

Nowadays consumers tend to want more and more from what is basically essential, lifestyle technology. Today’s user wants innovation in both features and design. This is what Philips was probably thinking when they launched these two new HDTV sets. We thus have the 19PFL5602D (19 Inch) and the 32PFL7602D (32 inch).

Philips really outdone themselves with these new ivory-colored masterpieces in design. We have practical, quick and easy installation, making users able to power-up and get it all doing in no time at all. The company is a leader in high definition technology and the experience it has was implemented in producing these new FlatTVs, making sure they offer the highest picture quality. These two devices make it possible for easy and effortless integration in workplaces and homes, with minimalist designs. Read more »
