Sony And Samsung Beginning To Enforce Minimum Pricing In An Effort To Rebuild Profits, Save Red Ink.

Image Property of Robert Scoble – link Sony and Samsung cheap TVs you will find no more. Apparently, 3rd party retailers’ heavy handed price slashing has gotten both consumer electronic giants hot under the collar. So much so, in fact, that both manufacturers are reportedly beginning to enforce minimum pricing. The new minimum pricing scheme will allegedly “protect both the manufacturers’ margins and the retailers’ profits from...

1080p will look like a big bag of suck next to this: Japanese pushing Super HI-Visoin — 7680 x 4320 of awesomeness.

1080p will look like a big bag of suck next to this:  Japanese pushing Super HI-Visoin — 7680 x 4320 of awesomeness.

We’re just getting to the point now here in the US where 1080p is getting pretty ubiquitous. Granted, millions of people still don’t have any type of HD device or signal coming into their house. But millions in the grander scheme of things — hundreds of millions — is rather tiny. But just as we catch up, the Japanese are off on the next venture already where our standard 1080p HD has been around for years…well before us. The new standard:...

116-inch 7,680 x 4,320 res plasma — need I say more?

116-inch 7,680 x 4,320 res plasma — need I say more?

Recent mumblings of Panasonic’s 4,096 x 2,160 res TV’s may be drool inducing, but as is customary in the tech world, such claims to fame rarely last very long.

In actuality, the 116-inch measurement comes compliments of (4) 58-inch 1920 x 1080 monitors. But the real numbers to the story reside in the 0.33mm pixel shift which...

How much is a 152-inch, 4,096 x 2,160 resolution TV to you?  Panasonic would love to know…

Want to go big? I mean…really big? If size is of the upmost importance to you, Panasonic has just the beast for you — a 152-inch 4k resolution, 3D behemoth that easily surpasses any and all current TV’s on the market. Just so you understand, that’s 4,096 x 2,160 pixels of resolution. Eye candy it is indeed! If 152 inches is too big for you, Panasonic has slightly smaller 1080p variants weighing in at 103″ and 85″. Speaking of weight,...

Dupont breakthrough promises 50″ OLED for the price of 52″ LCD!

Dupont breakthrough promises 50″ OLED for the price of 52″ LCD!

Any type of HD guru will tell you that OLED is the promising future. Granted, OLED still has some issues with direct light. But in a nice dark theater room, an OLED truly sings. The only limiting factor so far has been a sort of “chicken or the egg” conundrum. For example, Sony’s 11″ OLED TV costs consumers $3,499. Who’s going to spend that much on such a small TV? And Sony likewise can’t lower the price simple because of the lack...
