Pioneer wants to give your living room a makeover with its LX01 Home Cinema System.
Compulsory weekly update regarding a new watch from Tokyoflash – the Tibida
We always end up mentioning the new developments down at the insane offices of Tokyoflash, thanks to their regular output of exciting watches with interesting looks.
Tibida’s particularly striking, thanks to featuring 42 little white LEDs. Which, it is rumoured, well-trained wearers are able to interpret to use as a rough guide about what the time is. Or, at least, what the time is near.
Fortunately, the new Tibida comes with a handy visual guide that explains exactly how you’re supposed to tell what the time is with it.
Here’s how it works:
CES 2008: More Samsung HDTVs heading to UK
The last thing we really need is another foot long list of HDTV specs so I’ll keep this brief. Most of Samsung’s latest HDTV range is heading to the UK. The main theme this year is 1080p – 2008 is being geared up to be the year of Full HD and Samsung is aiming to get reduce the price difference between 1080p and 720p sets down to just a £100 leap.
CES 2008: Samsung HDTV Series 7 range heading to the UK
Samsung, like most other TV manufacturers, has a ton of new TVs on show at CES. Normally though, these are primarily destined for the US leaving us to just wait and see whether we’ll ever actually get our hands on them. I’ve been round the Samsung booth and had a look through all the models that are definitely heading to the UK, and been given a few release dates.
CES 2008: Toshiba re-embracing SD era with its 22LV505 – a regular DVD-playing combo LCD TV
High-definition format war? What high-definition format war?
Correctly realising that about 99.9999% of the world’s population is still perfectly happy to watch movies on DVD – or even lower quality DivX rips burned to DVD – smarting HD DVD format backer Toshiba is wisely also covering all last-generation bases with this – a 22″ LCD TV with built-in DVD player:

CES 2008: Toshiba announces bunch of new Plasma and LCD screens
The first half of Toshiba’s conference may’ve been doom and gloom, but they managed to excite us once again with a full new line-up for Spring, with more LCDs and Plasmas than you can shake Warner’s CEO at.
Scott Ramirez, VP of marketing for the TV group, introduced five new Regza series, four new designs, three new…
CES 2008: Sony expands its HDTV range with new features, accessories
Naturally Sony had more than a few new HDTVs to announce at CES. It just wouldn’t be CES if there weren’t thirteen thousand nearly identical HDTVs to launch and flood every visible booth with. Sony actually has a further 17 rolling out this year, in addition to its more unique OLED XEL-1 model.
CES 2008: Sharp rolls out latest AQUOS HDTV ranges
As is traditional with every major electronics manufacturer at this time of year, Sharp has announced a glut of HDTVs. And like every year, they’re steadily getting bigger and bigger, with LCD now looking like it might be turning the tide in its favour at against rival Plasma technology at even larger sizes.
Sharp’s flagship model that’s coming out in the next couple of weeks in the US, is the LC-65SE94U. It’s a 65” model which boasts full 1080p HD, 27,000:1 contrast ratio and the new AQUOS Net technology that we reported earlier which is enabled by the inclusion of an ethernet port on the set. This monster LCD will cost some where in the region of $10,000. No news on when it might reach the UK though. Following later are a 52” and 42” and each is now almost a third slimmer and a touch lighter than their older counterparts.
CES 2008: Sharp press conference: surprise, surprise – more massive tellies are on their way
The Sharp CES press conference kicked off with the usual amount of backslapping and general optimism about the state of the HDTV market. And why not – according to Sharps figures and some really rather bland graphs the LCD market is skyrocketing. Sharp expects to have shipped over 74m units by the end of 2007 and 96m by the end of next year, which is probably a lot more than I can count on all my fingers and toes.
