Aug 28th 2008 8:54AM I'm hoping we see just as many plasma posts today!
Video: Sony's 200Hz MotionFlow Bravia Z4500 tricks kids into sitting even closer to the TV {Engadget}
Aug 28th 2008 8:43AM Any word on the thickness of this unit? How about the contrast ratio?
Sony's shrouded BRAVIA Z4500 LCD with 200Hz Motionflow {Engadget}
Aug 28th 2008 8:23AM Using sophisticated algorithms, the Motionflow 200Hz system employed by the Z4500 calculates three additional frames for every original, upping the frame rate from 50 to 200 per second. The result is the smoothest and clearest motion reproduction to be achieved by an LCD TV. A complementary image enhancement technology called IB Reduction (Image Blur Reduction) boosts the sharpness of the final picture by improving the original, frame by frame, before it is processed by Motionflow 200Hz. Whether allowing you to see the detail of a panning shot exactly as the Director intended or viewing the ultimate in smooth motion clarity for sports like football, the 200Hz Motionflow BRAVIA sets new standards in image quality and enjoyment.
The underlying superiority of the BRAVIA Z4500's picture is attributable to the centrepiece of BRAVIA quality: the BRAVIA Engine 2. This new version of the acclaimed Sony signal processor uses proprietary technology to improve every aspect of the image, frame by frame, in real time. BRAVIA Engine 2 is even better at reproducing realistic black, depicting objects with impressively lifelike depth and detail, removing blemishes or 'noise' from the picture, and delivering that trademark vibrant BRAVIA colour. Contrast is also essential to a quality picture, and a very high screen dynamic contrast ratio of 80,000:1 leverages the work of the BRAVIA Engine 2 to the full.
Panasonic IFA 2008 plasma prototypes: super thin, super green, super big {Engadget}
Aug 28th 2008 8:15AM Did they happen to have an "affordable" 80 inch? I'm all for thinner displays and better display technology but there is a big hole in the market - the between 65-103" at a price that the middle class can afford. $50K is a bit steep for middle class consumers.
IFA Berlin: yeah, we're here {Engadget}
Aug 27th 2008 3:15PM Wish I was there. I'll be going to CES in January. The only things I'd really like to know -
Are there any new Plasma, LCD or other flat panel TVs that are bigger than 75"
Are there any new computer screens (not TVs) that are bigger than 30"
Gigabyte shows off robust Core i7 prototype motherboard {Engadget}
Aug 27th 2008 9:37AM Does it come with USB 3.0? How about SATA 3.0? I'm not buying any new MB until it supports these even though the SATA 3.0 may not be necessary for any of my current hard drives, who knows what will be out using solid state drive technology. Is it SLI or crossfire?
Panasonic's biggest plasma HDTVs get a fall makeover {Engadget}
Aug 26th 2008 3:18PM I would love to see an "affordable" 80" screen released soon. The 103" inch is nice but far too pricey. I have an old 65" RPTV that still has a great picture but I'd like to upgrade to an 80". A projector isn't an option so an nice 80" would be great. I'm hoping Pioneer, Panasonic and Sony offer something in the 80" size by this time next year.
ViewSonic shows off a 120Hz LCD computer display {Engadget}
Aug 26th 2008 9:53AM I'm hoping someone decides to come out with a true computer monitor that looks good at a size over 30". I'm not sure why they can make TVs in a larger size but not monitors. TVs as monitors don't look so hot.
Sprint AIRAVE review {Engadget Mobile}
Aug 13th 2008 12:48PM Anything like this available for Verizon? An antenna booster won't work as I get no signal.
Sony's XEL-1 OLED TV landing in Europe in 2009? Too little, too late. {Engadget}
Aug 13th 2008 10:31AM Wake me up when they start selling 80" OLEDs. Hard to justify replacing a 65" with something even smaller. I prefer my HT over going to the movies however when I have guests it would be nice to have a bigger display.
