Haier's 'TV of the future'

CES always brings out the cool, innovative toys, and Haier's "TV of the future" is no exception.

Haier announced a TV that uses your eyes as the remote. Yes, that's right. Your eyes.

Using technology developed by NeuroSky, you can use your eyes (well, actually your brain) to change the channel.

Voice controls are also offered, but who wants to waste time with that when you can let your eyes do the talking?

I'm thinking about going, I'd like to check out the Ultra HDTV’s and see what all the hoopla is about.

LG goes hectic with Hecto projection system

LG and Samsung are in a bit of a battle when it comes to pre-CES announcements as the former announced it will bring out a Hecto 100-inch Laser TV complete with projection unit at the Vegas show.

We're talking 1080p full HD images projected from a mere 22in away. We're talking the ultimate movie watching experience, including 3 HDMI ports, Smart TV and Digital TV functionality and a projection unit with bulbs that can last up to 25,000 hours before replacement.

Hopefully we'll get word on pricing and availability on the Hecto unit come show time, but it'll be fun to watch a flick or two nonetheless.

Very interested in this from nvidia:

Nvidia unleashes record-setting Tegra 4 processor

CES 2013 Ultra HD friendly, battery loving, mega-fast processing

******************************************EXCERPT*************************************

Roll up, roll up - the next generation of mobile processors is here with the Nvidia Tegra 4 blowing its predecessors out of the graphics processing, power-effiency water.

Rocking a frankly mind-boggling 72 custom GPU cores (that's six times the horse power of the Tegra 3), Nvidia is boasting of record setting performance and battery life from the Tegra 4.

It reckons you can up web browsing speeds by 2.6 times, enjoy better app performance and watch up to 15 hours of HD video playback on phones with the new processor.

Power magnet

The Tegra 4 manages this by running a low-power setting during standard use, and PRISM 2 Display tech which reduces backlighting while busting out that high-def imagery (it can even support 4K Ultra High Def graphics).

It puts the quad-core Cortex-A15 to good use, allowing for LTE connectivity (optional chipset for global 4G), HDR photography as standard and superior visuals across the mobile board.

Have my tickets sitting on my desk since Ocotber, I get them every year though the last couple of years I haven’t bothered to go.

What I really miss are the COMDEX shows.

[Ernest_at_the_Beach]

Well Samsung is announcing a 110”....and id is not a projection unit.

[Las Vegas Ron]

Thanks Ernest!

[Las Vegas Ron]

Well Samsung is announcing a 110”....and id is not a projection unit.

A few years ago, I think it was Toshiba, had a 104" LCD, IIRC it was around 100k to buy.

[Domangart]

Next time it will have a left and right screen.
