Sound and Vision magazine have run a nice comparison of the strengths and weaknesses of OLED, LCD and Plasma screens. With all 3 types of screen being an option it does make you wonder which you want to purchase with your hard earned cash. CES which has just passed a few weeks ago had a lot of TV’s on display which tends to make the choice even more overwhelming.

Japan will be selling 2 new LCD monitors by Hitachi called the 19LM-W1 (19″ WXGA+) and the 17LM-1 (17″ SXGA) which feature HDMI input, a contrast ratio of 1000:1 for the 19″ and 800:1 for the 17, and a brightness of 300 cdm/2. No word on when these will release exactly or even the prices.

Sharp will soon introduce three models in the new AQUOS X Series of LCD TVs into the market. The 46V, 42V and 37V-inch TVs not only deliver high-quality pictures, but also bring a refined sense of quality to interior décor when mounted on the wall. With a mere 3.44 cm thick, the AQUOS X Series can accommodate the needs of consumers who want to mount a flat-panel TV on the wall to take full advantage of its thin profile, or who desire to change their living room décor by decorating a wall with it like a painting.

OWA just released a new car DVD-Player known as the 2Din 6.5-inch car DVD player.It features a 6.5-inch wide touchscreen, three video input/output, two audio input/output, and support DVD, TV, FM/AM, CDC control, amplifier and rear-view mirror function.

Toshiba have taken the Cell CPU usually found in a Sony PS3 and put it into a concept Qosmio G45 laptop, giving the machine a total of six processors (the original Core 2 Duo is still there, plus the four 1.5GHz synergistic processing elements in the Cell) and the ability to perform high-complexity visual tasks in real-time. The system is then able to upscale 640 x 480 video to 1080p via heavy-duty image processing in a mere three hours (whereas a normal Core 2 Duo machine would take 24), use the onboard webcam to recognise and translate hand gestures to control the laptop, and even trawl through stacks of video identifying common faces and building playlists from recurring actors.
