CMEL used LTPS TFT LCD technology from Chi Mei Optoelectronics (CMO) and its OLED equipment/technology to develop a 25″ OLED TV panel. The companies claim that it is the largest LTPS TFT Active Matrix (AM) OLED. CMEL is entering mass production soon.
I doubt it. And if CMEL is bringing a 25″ AMOLED LCD TV panel [...]
Samsung showcased the 70″ LCD TV panel at FPD International 2006. The 70″ has a refresh rate of 120Hz, twice that of typical LCDs, and sports a pixel format of 1920 x 1080 and outputs 1080p. The 120Hz refresh rate is part of a system that is composed of other technologies to reduce the nagging [...]
Unlike the UK-bound KDL-40W2000 that received the winning nod from What HiFi? Sound and Vision, the KDL-40XBR3 has three HDMI ports and the BRAVIA Engine Pro. The Engine Pro upconverts HD signals such as 1080i and 720p to 1080p. Any XBR will cost money but a XBR3 will cost even more: plan on spending $3800.
1080p [...]
LPL filed a lawsuit against CPT claiming that the defendant was infringing four patents related to side-mount technology held by LPL back in 2002.

Quanta, an integrator based in Taiwan, unveiled a UMPC based on an Intel reference design with Yahoo software at the Intel Developer Forum (IDF) in Taipei, Taiwan. The unit shown in the picture looks quite nice: swivel video cam (Sony’s TR series started it all in notebooks way back when), and swivel screen that is [...]

Both the A1 and the C1 sport a 1.2GHz Core Duo CPU, an nVidia’s GeForce 7300 Go GPU with 64MB, a 10.6″ 1280 x 768 LCD, WiBro, HSDPA, and DMB. The C1 is a convertible notebook and weighs 2.8lbs. The A1 is even lighter at 2.2lbs.
Although Engadget states the resolution of the LCD as 1366 [...]
Sharp improved the contrast ratio from 500:1 to 1500:1. That’s good, very good. Unlike typical displays where the user might be at slightly different angles looking at the screen, a driver of a car is usually squarely in front of the display. So, ’specsmanship’ in this case can be regarded as fairly accurate for how [...]
While I was reading about Engadget HD tonight, I came across the “Xbox 360 HD DVD ad: 6x the resolution = 6x the…breakdancers?” post. I thought the ad was fairly effective in communicating that HD DVD gives you a fuller experience than DVD. The use of breakdancers was a bit lacking in the classy [...]
XBox 360 does not have a HDMI port? I didn’t know that. HD-DVD it does not have either. I knew that. Now, for $200, you can purchased the external HD-DVD drive that’s about 60-70% the size of the XBox 360 itself and watch HD-DVD movies… ummm… the few that are available. Actually, I Googled “hd-dvd [...]
