With all the Sony Bravias being released, markets have been extra confident about their success and why not too. The Bravia brand must be one of the best looking and performing TVs to be ever released. The Sony Bravia ZX1 is 9.9mm thin and unbelievably thin. It is shocking to learn that it is 40% more efficient for every panel inch when one compares to the conventional flat panels.

It even uses less power than a bulb, apparently. The 40″ screen makes the Sony Bravia ZX1 a joy but the high price of $6,055 isn’t a thing of joy. The TV however looks good and makes up for the loss of being highly unaffordable.

Nevertheless, energy conscious consumers may think twice and purchase the new 40” Bracia model, in case they would like to save more power than money.

Here is an awesome LCD, which not only looks good but is also packed with great features and specs. Mitsubishi’s new DisplayLink-equipped RDT201WDL WIDE LCD comes with a 20.1″ wide format monitor and you will never need to squint your eyes to look at something. The monitor also features a USB hub, built-in Ethernet, WSXGA+ and also great eco-conscious technology.

The on-screen meter and three levels of power usage makes sure you are not using up a lot of power or energy. It uses as little as 36% less power than a traditional LCD and of course, the video or image quality is just awesome.

However, you may need to wait till the gadget arrives in the west, as it is now available only in Japan. There is no word about the price or the release date either but you can be sure that it is going to hit the stores near you sometime very soon.

If you are looking for a media player that comes packed with features and efficiency, you probably must look at Ainol V3000. The PMP comes with a 4.3″ viewing space, a resolution of 800 x 480 with 16 million colors, FM Tuner, transmitter, TV out and mic recording and has a storage capacity of 4GB.

Though we can’t really trust the stuff that comes out of China, this does look good and interesting. More so because, it is priced $102, which is dirt-cheap. This can also serve as a great media player, which not only offers music, or video options but also radio options.

In my opinion, one just needs to assess the products before buying them, and in V3000’s case, assessments have already been done and it looks like it is a safe and efficient product to buy. So if you are planning to buy a PMP, don’t think twice, but just get yourself an Ainol V3000.

Dreams are what inventions and concepts are all about. If you had dreamed ever if a TV, a telephone and a media server could interact with each other, Toshiba seems to have the answer. However, it still is in a concept stage and will take a while for it to materialize.

In this new system, a media server will automatically download media files from the cellphone just when the user drops near the field communication or NFC. Later, the media files can be projected on a wireless HD 1080p TV. However, this being a concept, I won’t be able to swear by it. I could only swear that Toshiba always manages to pull it off, whatever the concept is, and most of its products are great success.

It would be interesting to see a product that lets all these three gadgets interact with one another and finally have a synthesized result.

This cool new device may help in conferences and seminars. A very handy gadget, and we would definitely wait for it to arrive in the stores.

Whilst last year, we witnessed Samsung reigning the geeks’ minds by creating a buzz through its offering of 40”-inch screen 1 cm thick LCD with little awareness that come 2008 and they may have to face competition with Sony. Lately, Sony has made up to headlines as it has bagged the crown for developing worlds first-ever thinnest LCD HDTV. Measuring mere 9.9mm thick, the KDL-40ZX1 almost bisects the depth of Hitachi’s previous victor (suggestible to be installed in bathroom now) and hits the market with a whisper of Pioneer’s mega thin conception.

The model sports a LED back lighting, 3,000:1 contrast ratio, 120Hz MotionFlow tech, x.v.color and BRAVIA Engine 2 image processing. Clarity about the available facts detail only one HDMI plugging onto the screen itself whereas other needless HDMI/USB/ constituent inputs are consigned to a base station, with the choice for wired or perhaps WHDI based? Japanese will be allowed to emboss the ZX1 on their walls if they are ready to shell out $4,474 on 10 November (expected date fopr its market availability).
