As some of you might remember from our CEDIA and CES coverages, Japanese company Hitachi announced back at the beginning of 2008 its UltraThin line of LCD HDTVs, which features a width of just 1.5 inches (3.87 cm). Nevertheless, it seems that Hitachi has decided to up the ante right on its home turf and showcased at ... |

Convergence seems to be one of the strategies chosen by some manufacturers of LCD HDTV sets in order to sell more units during this very difficult economic period, when the purchasing power of average customers has seriously decreased. And a very good example of this trend comes from ViewSonic, which has just introdu... |

It's not the first time SmartParts introduces a very wide digital photo frame, but it would seem that the company has taken things a bit too far this time. And that's because the newly announced SP3200WF model has a diagonal size of no less than 32 inches, which makes it larger than most PC monitors or even... |

Even if Sharp has made some rather interesting product announcements at this year's IFA show, it actually managed to hold some surprises for CEDIA as well.

Back at CES 2008, Hitachi launched its UltraThin line of high-definition LCD TVs, which had been announced since the second half of 2007.

As you probably know, Toshiba has taken quite a beating from Sony earlier this year, when it's next-generation optical disc format, the HD DVD, had to bow down to Blu-ray and accept defeat. Since then, the Japanese company has bet pretty much everything on the "up-conversion" card, claiming that this technology ... |

We've already seen some of Philips' "handywork" for the IFA show in Berlin, but the company has much more in store for us, especially in the area of display solutions, but not necessarily restricted to it.

Although not directly related to the IFA show taking place in Berlin as we speak, the Japanese company Sony has decided to launch today a huge array of products, LCDs in particular.

The title of world's thinnest LCD HDTV seems to have changed hands once again. After Hitachi held on to it for almost half a year, along came Sony and launched the incredibly thin KDL-40ZX1, whose panel is just 9 mm thick (while the device itself reaches just... 28.8 mm) but still capable of displaying high-qual... |

Despite the fact that diagonal size does matter a lot nowadays when purchasing a new HDTV set, the truth of the matter is that quite a lot of homes are simply too small for widescreen LCDs and PDPs. For this reason, the people from AOC have just announced a completely new line of high-definition LCD TV sets, designed... |

One of the most important reasons why LCD monitors are generally quite expensive is that they require a very special type of glass in order to provide very good-quality images, namely one with very low levels of sodium, a substance that normally blocks light and prevents making extra-thin glass.
