Posted by MKH on January 4, 2012
With the International Consumer Electronics Show 2012 just around the corner (Jan. 10 to Jan. 13), we here at J&R are like kids waiting for the candy store to open. This year’s show promises to be the biggest one yet.
CES has always been about looking forward. It has been about introducing us to the next great bit of technology that can enrich our lives and alter the way we experience the world. Like the Kindle Fire, which along with its siblings Kindle Touch and the basic Kindle, sold a million units a week during the month of December. This CES should be no different.

3D In A Headset? Coming To A Visor near You!
Posted by MKH on October 31, 2011
In the past, 3D entertainment was almost exclusively the sole possession of the Motion Picture Industry. With the advent of 3D televisions, this form of entertainment was now made available to the consumer. Next month, Sony will take that to the next level with the release of its Personal 3D Viewer. This lightweight headset is purported to provide a true 3D experience via direct wired link to a 3D source. Source material has always been a pitfall of 3D technology and with a little over 80 movies, a few video games, and next to no broadcasts it still is. That being said Sony is betting on the refined technologies built into the system to push sales of the new device. The two 0.7inch screens are composed of organic light emitting diodes (LED) that allow each eye to see a different image. These images are combined in the brain to give them the illusion of depth.

LG Electronics is attempting to dominate the HDTV market in the United States with a rather exciting line of televisions in 2010. Apart from an extensive menu of Network Ready features (for those with WiFi networks at home, using a router), LG Electronics is launching 3D HDTV ready models. This manufacturer isn’t sitting very idle.
LG INFINIA HDTVs (the LE9500, LE8500 and LE7500 series) combine a slim design and thin bezel with enhanced connectivity and abundant content options. Leading the way to the ultimate home entertainment experience, the 55- and 47-inch class LE9500 sets will be LG’s first 3D-ready models available in the United States.
INFINIA is the flagship of LG’s 41-model LED LCD HDTV line - six new series of LED LCD HDTVs and five new series of LCD HDTVs. Leading these introductions are two new LED technologies - Full LED Slim and LED Plus - that provide cutting-edge picture quality. The unique backlight structure on its Full LED Slim models (LE9500 and LE8500) allows for the INFINIA line’s ultra-slim depth without sacrificing picture quality. Together, these features provide consumers with infinite possibilities in home entertainment.

Panasonic Supports Plasma 3D HDTV With A 152-Inch Screen
Posted by Dr. Iz on January 11, 2010
Theodore Roosevelt is attributed to saying, “Speak softly and carry a big stick.” At CES 2010, Panasonic boasts mildly but demonstrates the world’s largest 3D HDTV.
Panasonic Corporation, a world leader in the HDTV technology, has developed the world’s largest 152-inch 4,000 x 2,000 definition Full HD 3D plasma display. The display features a revolutionary new plasma display panel (PDP) Panasonic developed with its new super-efficient quadruple luminous efficiency technology. The technology enhances the unique advantages of the PDP as a self-illuminating device, contributing to delivering an overwhelming immersive experience to viewers. The Panasonic 152-inch Full HD 3D PDP creates a true Full HD 3D world by faithfully reproducing 3D content such as Hollywood 3D movie titles.
Panasonic is one of a few HDTV manufacturers that still support PDP screen technologies. PDP doesn’t require the backlighting that LCD and LED requires. Continue Reading »
