The latest TV gadget has emerged in the form of Mitsubishi‘s LaserVue - the first laser powered television in existence.
Mitsubishi claim that there is “no other TV on the planet that produces a more vibrant
picture.” Umm I’ll be interested to test that claim out….
Apparently the colour runs at half the operating power of plasma’s and LCDs of the same size, whilst recreating the theater
experience.

Kodak may not be that well thought of as a ‘luxury brand’, but their new OLED digital picture frame certainly fits within our agenda for Lussorian.com
It is a wireless digital picture frame using OLED technology which basically means it has an ultra thin screen, whichis touch enabled.
You can play movies, MP3s, go online to check the news and weather wirelessly… and it looks pretty cool too.
It retails for around £700, making it possibly one of the most expensive digital photo frames on the market.
Check out the new XS1 series from Sharp, which is in fact the slimmest TV available on the planet at the moment at just 2.3 cms deep.
There are two models available, the 52” model priced at approximately £9,000 and the 65” one available from around £11,000.
“The XS1 Series AQUOS LCD TVs feature a new RGB-LED backlight system that delivers possibly the finest image quality with ultimate visibility of deep blacks. Enhanced environmental performance is achieved through a new system designed to lower power consumption by adjusting the screen brightness in response to the brightness of the surrounding environment. And, since the TVs are only one inch (2.3 cm) thick at the thinnest part, Sharp and Pioneer Corporation jointly developed a thin-design speaker system that incorporates Sharp’s unique 1-Bit digital amplifier to offer natural, clear sound.”

Flat screen TV technology is moving at such a pace nowadays it’s beginning to take my breath away!
That’s certainly the case with the recently unveiled SIM2 and Dolby 46 inch prototype high-dynamic-range (HDR)–enabled LCD flat-screen which uses Dolby’s new light emitting diodes (LED) local dimming technology.
Dolby’s HDR technologies utilize the capabilities of LED-based backlight units (BLUs) to provide outstanding contrast combined with crisp brightness to deliver picture quality that matches real-world visual perception of depth, detail, and color.
SIM2 designed and developed the BLU, which drives the electronics of the LCD display plus the BLU and BLU thermal management system.
This prototype sports a contemporary and stylish design which has been crafted by the award winning designer Giorgio Revoldini.
