Panasonic VX100 Monitor

Thu, 04 Sep 2008 21:09:22 +0000

Panasonic’s latest plasma technology can be found in the 65″ custom-install-only VX100 monitor, boasting specifications that are said to beat Pioneer’s Kuro range. It does so with the following specs :-

60,000:1 contrast ratio7,160 shades of gradationHandles 120% of HDTV color gamut

This 65″ monster will set you back by $10,000, but if you’re patient enough, Panasonic will release a 50″ model sometime down the road, so make sure you have enough dough by then to pick one up so that you can impress people you don’t like. It would be interesting to see what Pioneer comes up with next to regain its performance crown.

Panasonic 65VX100U Premiere Plasma Is a Kuro Killer? [CEDIA 2008]

Thu, 04 Sep 2008 16:52:13 +0000

The image associated with this post is best viewed using a browser.Tonight in Denver, Panasonic revealed its newest plasma technology, the 65" custom-install-only VX100 monitor, whose specs meet or beat Pioneer's hallowed Kuro. That means 60,000:1 contrast ratio with 7,160 shades of gradation for visible detail in the darker shadows. At 65 inches, you will pay $10,000 a panel, but not to worry: Panasonic will roll out a 50 incher soon, which is sure to be (a teeny tiny tad) cheaper. We sat in a dark room and got to compare the VX100 with its predecessor, the 65PF. Though the results in the room were startlingly vivid, you can get a sense of what's going on here in our still shots:If you're really crazy about TV technology, jump for a second gallery of slides from the presentation—but, as they say on MythBusters, there's some "science content" ahead, so put the drink down and focus...

Though the first buyers will likely be rich dudes, the movie business is also going to be interested in it as a monitor, since it can handle 120% of the HDTV color gamut, enough to maybe get a good looking movie on a TV for one damn time. And let's not forget that Pioneer has shut down its own panel production lines and plans to go with Panasonic's. I asked if Pioneer would get a shot at the sweet new one—though there wasn't a straight answer, the sense I got was "probably not, at least not at first." Go Panasonic, kicking some TV ass!

Wi-Fi network with free access as a means of attracting investment

Thu, 04 Sep 2008 14:59:00 +0000

Moncton town with a population of about 130 thousand people located in the Canadian province of New Brunswick. It is among the ten fastest-growing cities in the country, highlight the high standard of living. Moncton often called "core city" (Hub City), because it is located in the heart of Atlantic Canada provinces and has long acted as an important land transport hub. In order to enhance the attractiveness of Moncton for entrepreneurs and private citizens, the authorities decided to build a city in the central part of its municipal Wi-Fi network with free access. In doing so should have been, on the one hand, to do so within a limited budget and ensuring maximum low operating costs, and on the other hand - lay the possibility of subsequent expansion of the network.

Based on a decision was taken Cisco Wireless Mesh Network. Standard wireless network, in which each access point is directly connected with a support network, requires the laying of cables set, which naturally has a high innovative expenses, while wireless mesh-network dynamically route packets, sending them from one node to another. In doing so, only a few access points, known as "root", connected to the wired network, while the rest are connected only with each other on wireless channels through mesh-technology. Moreover, wireless mesh-network Cisco has centralized management. It uses wireless LAN-controllers Cisco, which monitor the work of all network components using software Wireless Control System (WCS).

Once in six central city Wi-Fi network has earned, residents have become actively Monktona its use. The new network came to court local hotels, shops and cafeteria, which immediately benefited from new urban services. Now small businesses can defer part of their daily business in the Internet, to improve the quality of customer service and reduce operating costs. Wi-Fi network works on open ground, and inside buildings, increasing the productivity of municipal employees who can easily communicate with each other using mobile devices, moving freely through the city centre.

Hands-on with LG's BD300 Netflix / Blu-ray deck

Thu, 04 Sep 2008 13:31:00 +0000

Filed under: HDTV, Home Entertainment

When we waltzed over to have a gander at LG's recently priced BD300, one of the reps on hand wasn't so keen on letting us take close-ups. Not one to just roll over and accept a command, we casually walked over to the other BD300 kiosk, flashed the Engadget gang sign to the much kinder rep, and continued on to snap a few shots of the new box. The unit set up was fully functional and able to stream Netflix movies, and it even detected the network connection before playing in order to deliver the best quality without introducing skips and stutters. Feel free to get all up in your monitor when checking out the gallery over at Engadet HD, we won't hassle ya. One love.

Thu, 04 Sep 2008 07:52:53 +0000

16:9 display are all the race in the PC industry and the Dell S2409W seems like a good 1080p monitor. Its design is simple and you can see that the "image" should be the main point of focus. From a technical perspective, it has HDMI, DVI and VGA connections. It is possible to attach a pair of speakers as well, although I would probably recommend something fancier, if you really want to exploit's the surround sound from Blu-Ray movies. ($349 at Dell.com)
